Property Description for 194 Riverside Drive, 2-C

Impeccably renovated, this spacious 2-bedroom, 2-Bath home exudes stylish comfort while maintaining elegant original detailing throughout. A gracious dining room unifies the classic, prewar layout of this sophisticated apartment. The southern-facing living room enjoys a large windowed banquet framed by a grandly proportioned arch, ideal for entertainment or a quiet reading nook. With a decorative fireplace, built-in bookcases, and surround sound wiring, this room is as lovely as it is comfortable. Open to both the front hall and living room, the mint kitchen showcases top-of-the-line finishes including a GE Profile refrigerator, Viking range, Viking microwave, and Frigidaire dishwasher, complemented by an exposed brick accent wall and plenty of storage. The grand master suite is set apart from the apartment's shared areas for ultimate privacy, making it a serene retreat with eastern-facing windows and gorgeous ensuite marble bath with a luxurious SPA-LIKE shower and radiant heat flooring. A huge walk-in closet with custom storage neatly houses clothing and the unit's washer/ dryer. The second bath is equally well-appointed with a decadent, deep-soaking tub, while the quiet second bedroom benefits from the high ceilings throughout, southern exposure and excellent closet space. Elegance & charm are the words that come to mind to describe 194 Riverside Drive. Neighbors are drawn to the cul-de-sac feel that exists on this short strip between 91st and 92nd Street. Designed by famed New York architect, Ralph Townsend in 1902, 194 Riverside Drive continues to halt passersby with its bold curvaceous structure and elegant balustrades. To the neighborhood children it is also known as the building with the stone lions. Residents enjoy excellent live-in super, children's playroom, bike room, and private Storage. Pets are welcome!

Upper West Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Bracketed on its east and west borders by massive city parks, the Upper West Side (UWS) is known for its greenery, stately and elegant townhomes, safe streets and great schools, all of which make it a very desirable neighborhood for families. The UWS has maintained its community feeling, making it attractive to young professionals and retirees, both of whom want a sense of belonging in the place they call home.

Here you’ll find many apartment buildings, especially those along Central Park West. Historic architecture abounds, anchored by four luxury co-ops - the San Remo, Majestic, Century and Eldorado apartments - all of which have two towers on their interiors. They were built in the 1930s and their design was predicated on a 1929 building code that imposed a height limit on residences facing the street. There are also impressive row houses near Riverside Drive throughout the W 70 and 80 Streets. Above the 90s, you will find smaller buildings where walk-ups are very reasonably priced.

There are several world-class museums and venues dedicated to the performing arts. Plentiful dining can be found in the UWS. You will find everything from quaint Jewish delis serving up bagels and a schmear to sophisticated fine dining that has earned multiple Michelin stars, and everything you could possibly want in between. There is also abundant shopping and a vibrant nightlife.
