360 Riverside Drive, 8-CD

Open skies and views greet you as you enter this spacious, high floor, corner apartment at the Rutherford. Here is a marvelous opportunity to customize a three-bedroom, two-bath home with enormous living space. Like many units in the building, this legally combined apartment was created years ago, resulting in a semi-private landing, shared by only two sprawling homes and reached by key-locked private elevator.

The apartment benefits from three exposures and light from every window. An eat-in windowed kitchen, high ceilings, immaculate original hardwood flooring, new windows, corner living room, and incredible closet space are but a few of the attributes that make this property so special.

Situated on a serene Northwest corner of 108th Street and Riverside Dive, this fine 13-story, 43-apartment cooperative offers solid financials, live-in superintendent, storage units, laundry room, and bike storage (particularly convenient for Riverside Park and the bike paths.) Washer/dryers in apartments, pets, and pied-a-terres are permitted.

Designed by architect Gaetano Ajello, the building is an elegant neo-classical style prewar from 1917, with a beautifully maintained lobby that reflects its early 20th Century origin. One of this prolific Upper West Side architect's many significant structures, the Rutherford has a fine limestone facade with four monochromatic band courses and a decorative cornice at the top.
