Property Description for 54 Riverside Drive, 5-C

This is it...a truly perfect 7 room home! Open, airy and in gorgeous condition, this home is a rare find in the ultimate location. A grand side by side living room and dining room have big windows facing north onto quiet and tree lined 78th Street. Off the dining room is a large den with a new powder room which could also function as a fourth bedroom or guest room (the powder room could be made into a full bathroom.) The new large windowed eat-in kitchen boasts a vented Viking range and Subzero refrigerator, a Bosch washer/dryer, tons of cabinet space and a charming banquet eating area.

True to a classic prewar lay out, the 3 spacious bedrooms are in their own bedroom wing. The very large master has windows on 2 sides making it bright and cheerful. There is a large walk-in closet and a new bathroom. The 2 other bedrooms are also large, each with their own very large closets and there is a jack and jill bathroom between the bedrooms.

This wonderful home has great prewar details including beautiful hardwood floors, classic moldings and high ceilings. 54 Riverside Drive is an elegant prewar in the heart of the Upper West Side, steps from one of the best playgrounds in the City, basketball courts, playing fields, an open air restaurant on the river and the promenade of Riverside Park- perfect for running, biking or just strolling. Additionally, some of the absolute best shopping, dining, schools and convenient transportation is only 1-2 blocks away.

Please call for a private viewing.

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.
