Overlooking lush gardens, flooded with light, is a rarely available two bedroom home with a windowed dining area, spacious living room, well proportioned two bedrooms and a restored windowed bathroom with classic detail.
Built in 1926 by master architect Rosario Candela, 285 Riverside Drive is the epitome of West Side elegance. A stunning lobby with gilded bas relief ceilings and inlaid marble floors welcomes you to this impressive apartment house. On the seventh floor- the first landing to clear due east- Apartment 7F offers wonderful natural light, charming views, and generous, usable space housed within a historic building directly on Riverside Park.
A 16 foot entrance gallery leads you to a cheerful living room with views over trees and townhouse gardens. A windowed dining area that will accommodate a table for eight is adjacent to a large kitchen with ample cook space and storage- ready to be designed to your taste and requirements.
The sun-filled master bedroom shares the same garden views and brilliant light. The spacious second bedroom is peaceful and quiet and is separated from the master bedroom by a lovely windowed bath with restored original fixtures. There are original, newly refinished hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings and smooth, solid plaster walls.
285 Riverside Drive is perfectly located at the south corner of 101st Street- across from the 101st Street soccer field, playgrounds, bike and walking trails. This historic co-operative features a 24 hour doorman, porters, and a resident building manager. In addition, 285 offers a central laundry room, bike and personal storage, and is pet friendly.

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.
