Property Description for 258 Riverside Drive, 1-CD
An Impeccably Restored Gilded Age Apartment on Riverside Drive
This grand SECOND FLOOR apartment occupies the entire floor of a prestigious Riverside Drive cooperative. The home has been meticulously restored, retaining much of its original, ornate architectural details. With six bedrooms, scenic views of Riverside Park, and multiple areas for lounging and conversation, the home is perfect for entertaining, even on a large scale.
Upon entering the home through mirrored bronze doors, its grandeur becomes immediately apparent. Its main living spaces are flooded with natural light. The impressive gallery is flanked by mahogany French doors that lead to an elegant formal dining room with seating for 12, while the 25-foot living room includes a fireplace and offers direct views of Riverside Park. Its windowed kitchen is a chef's dream, complete with granite countertops, a Sub-zero refrigerator, a six burner Viking stove, and Miele appliances.
The library features mahogany custom bookshelves to complement the home's original mahogany doors. Directly across from the library is the den, which showcases restored inlaid wood floors, intricate wood paneled walls, and original wood-beamed ceilings. Two bedrooms and one bath complete this wing of the home. To the left of the gallery is the second wing that features four additional bedrooms and three baths.
The edifice was designed by William L. Rouse in the Renaissance Revival style and developed in 1908 by James T. Lee, the maternal grandfather of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Lee also developed 740 Park Avenue and 998 Fifth Avenue, two of the many grand residences built at the beginning of the 20th century. It is part of the Riverside West End Historic District and distinguished by its arched, top-floor windows outlined in blue glazed terracotta.
258 Riverside Drive is within convenient proximity to major transportation, shopping, and a variety of restaurants. Additional highlights include an onsite resident manager, doorman, storage, bike storage, a roof deck, and a central laundry room. Pets are welcome.

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.
