186 Riverside Drive, 10-B

Truly rare Emery Roth classic three bedroom on Riverside Drive with wide open views and abundant light. Bring your architect to this 10th floor classic 6 room apartment with all the original bells and whistles of Emery Roth architecture. Enter the grand central gallery and see multiple over-sized windows with wide open views and light coming in from both the living room and dining room (both of which are spacious and finished with classic oak parquet floors). Between them a French door leads to the bedroom wing, where the enormous corner master bedroom makes a lovely refuge from the world with its Eastern and Northern exposures, en-suite bath, and two walk-in closets. The second bedroom is similarly large with a second en-suite bath. More pleasures await in the huge windowed eat-in kitchen, and the third bedroom or office (also includes the 3rd en-suite bathroom). Original beamed ceilings over nine feet high, four enormous walk-in closets plus two more closets, rich oak hardwood floors and fine details (including the cove moldings, deep baseboards, and the original doorknobs) make this wonderfully warm home. With great bones, great light and wonderful views (including a side view of the river from three rooms) this is a rare property that will not last long (there has not been a three bedroom for sale in this building since 2011!)Located across the street from the most inviting entrance to Riverside Park (and Hippo Playground), 186 Riverside Drive is a coveted and prestigious full service residence with 24-hour doormen, an sprawling and elegant marble lobby, topnotch staff, central laundry, bike room, and storage. Pets welcome and washer/dryer allowed. Designed by architect Emery Roth, 186 Riverside Drive is famous for its inventive layouts, massive closets, and picture windows. Mr. Roth "designed many of the definitive New York City hotels and apartment buildings of the 1920s and 1930s, incorporating Beaux-Arts and Art Deco details." He is known for the "picture window" included in his designs and for light and airy apartments with views from most rooms.Bring your architect or contractor and create something beautiful and unique!
