420 Riverside Drive, 6-G

RENOVATED, RE-INVENTED, RE-IMAGINED 3BR OPEN-PLAN STUNNER

BIG BESPOKE BEAUTY w/CENTRAL AC, FIREPLACE, & OPEN KITCHEN w/DINING BAR

TREASURED FULL-SERVICE PRE-WAR w/ROOF GARDEN, GYM & PLAYROOM

?The owners of this formidable head-turner were drawn to the big, bright, East-facing windows that quietly look out onto big sky and treetops below. So, when they spent one year seamlessly creating this sun-splashed stunner, they knew its signature element would be its grand, open-plan living/dining room — a lofty space built to showcase the light via two trios of oversized windows. This became the soulful core of this feel-good home, and this big, bright living/dining room sets the style tone for the rest of this magnificent residence.

Open to the living/dining rooms is a supreme, cook’s kitchen with a dining bar. This culinary dream space is both handsome and practical, and is ideally situated to support easy living and elegant entertaining. Boasting custom cabinetry, a sizable pantry, ample stone counters and backsplash, a big sink, and a suite of top-tier, integrated appliances by Thermador and Sharp (including a large wine fridge and two bonus fridge drawers — both by U-line), this eat-in, open kitchen is the perfect blend of good form and fabulous function.

The main bedroom is quietly split from the other bedroom wing. It enjoys the same sunny exposure as the big living/dining room, and offers oversized windows also looking down onto treetops. This king-sized bedroom suite offers a fully appointed, designer walk-in closet, and is served by a top-shelf, windowed, marble bathroom with a step-in shower and appointments by Duravit and Hansgrohe. Nearby is the first guest bedroom — a comfortable, flexible bedroom with its own outfitted, walk-in closet and handsomely integrated desk area.

On the other side of this large, freshly done, L-shaped, designer home, is the third bedroom — a quite-separate, quite-beautiful guest room with good closet space and its own designer, windowed bathroom. This guest bathroom offers an impressive feature wall, a sizable soaking tub, and fixtures by Hansgrohe and Duravit.

Above are high ceilings with recessed lighting and an integrated sound system, and underfoot are wide-planked Oak floors. There is a sweet foyer with dual custom closets, there is an outfitted washer/dryer (large and vented!), and central AC. The millwork and plasterwork are artfully implemented, there are good walls for art, and there are mindful designer choices throughout.

This perfectly perched, easy-to-love home is sweetly positioned in its well-run, full-service, pet-friendly, Pre-war (circa 1912) known as the Hamilton. Enjoying prime access to a glorious building roof garden (with views of the river!), an impressive building fitness facility, a live-in super, and bike/storage/laundry rooms, life here is easy, beautiful, convenient, and fun.

On one of the Upper Westside’s most beautiful, leafy corners — and right on Riverside Park — this stand-out residence is close to every area cultural, dining, and shopping destination (not to mention a plethora of easy transportation options).
