210 Riverside Drive, 6-B

ELEGANT PREWAR 2-BEDROOM. Return to an era of grace and style in this grand and impeccable prewar 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment with palatial proportions, three exposures, and "pin-drop quiet" park-side setting. Designed by prominent architects Schwartz & Gross and built in 1909, this classic Riverside Drive building features a stunning lobby of stained glass, coffered ceilings, manned elevator and convenient location. This home benefits from park views, direct access to Joan of Arc and Riverside Parks across the street, and proximity to express and local subway stops just two short blocks away. Step inside this elegant and mint condition home and you are immediately greeted by a spacious and welcoming entry foyer around which the entire apartment flows. The 10-foot ceilings, solid and meticulously preserved decorative wood trim and beautifully finished hardwood floors are found in abundance throughout the home. Inside the unit's large Eat-In kitchen you'll find a large built-in breakfast area opening onto a chefs paradise: 17 feet of cabinet storage, large pantry, and stainless steel appliances including Subzero refrigerator, and windows on two exposures. The expansive Living Room which beckons through a wide arched doorway off the foyer features a beautifully carved decorative fireplace, many windows, and ample accommodation for both formal dining and comfortable living and entertaining. Nearby, the cavernous 20-foot master bedroom with ensuite bath and large closets offers picture windows with park and river vistas, and an additional windowed sitting room useable for many purposes including dressing area or home office. The second bedroom, adaptable to den, library or dining room, features high-quality built in shelving, an ensuite windowed bath, and enormous east-facing picture window. 210 Riverside Drive is a 12-story co-operative building with 88 units, doorman, live-in super, laundry, storage and bike storage rooms, and is pet friendly.
