Property Description for 173-175 Riverside Drive, 12-K
173-175 Riverside Drive
One of Riverside Drive's finest landmarks, J.E. Carpenter, quoted as the father of the large modern apartment in New York completed design of this Gothic Revival building circa 1925. It was converted to a cooperative in 1968. The building has two entrances; 173 RSD (on 89th St) and 175 RSD (on 90th). All apartments were built on a grand scale with Carpenter's signature feature; the central hall plan dividing the apartment into three functional units: living, sleeping and service with a large entry gallery as a focal point. Located across from Riverside Park and The Soldiers and Sailors Monuments, amenities include 24 Hour Doorman, Live-in Super, bike room, recreation room, gym, laundry, and storage. It is a Pet friendly building. 50% financing is allowed and there is a 2% flip tax by buyer.
The Apartment

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.
