Property Description for 50 Riverside Drive, 14-B

Perched on a high floor with direct breathtaking Hudson River views in one of Riverside Drive's most prestigious white glove pre-war cooperatives, this loft-like elegant home represents unrivalled beauty and a serene oasis. From your semi-private landing one enters a lovely entrance gallery and is immediately entranced by the Hudson River views to the George Washington Bridge and brilliant light illuminating through oversize picture windows. This rare B line apartment has been impeccably renovated and exquisitely transformed into a true modernist masterpiece. There is an open living/dining room perfect for entertaining and casual living, two spacious bedrooms, with the potential of creating a third bedroom, and three fully restored baths. The master bedroom suite features near-transparent river views and a dressing area with a wall of custom closets. There is a stunning windowed eat-in kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, Sub-zero, Viking, DeLonghi and Miele appliances and an adjoining laundry room. This high floor sanctuary offers direct sparkling river views, exceptional light, scenic vistas, high beamed ceilings, beautiful pristine hardwood floors, and tremendous closet space. The building was erected in 1929 by Gronenberg and Leuchtag and converted to cooperative ownership in 1979. It is 100% owner-occupied, in superb physical and financial condition and is one of the Drive's most coveted white-glove full service pre-war cooperatives. This pet-friendly building offers storage and laundry rooms, and a children's playroom. This prime building enjoys proximity to many of Manhattan's premier private schools and cultural institutions. It is a short walk to Zabar's, Fairway and Citarella with Riverside Park at your doorstep.

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.
