Bring your contractor and create the home of your dreams in this expansive residence with nearly 10' ceilings on Riverside Park. With original hardwood floors with inlay and moldings throughout, this home is primed and ready for updating. Currently configured with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the opportunities are endless after customizing this majestic space to suit your needs.  A grand entry foyer leads to a massive living room with oversized windows framing lush treetop views of Riverside Park in the warmer weather and river views in the winter. The roof above the portico for the original entrance of the building creates an unofficial terrace unique to this apartment outside of one of the living room windows. The adjacent primary bedroom is the recipient of the same sensational views.  Two other spacious bedrooms and two windowed bathrooms (one of which is updated) can also be found in this wing of the residence.  On the other side of the home, a well-proportioned formal dining room leads to a renovated windowed kitchen with a six-burner Viking range and Liebherr counter-depth fridge.  An additional bedroom with a third bathroom is situated in between. Having recently been restored to its original glory, 270 Riverside Drive is a turn-of-the-century granite and limestone building with stately wrought iron doors that open into a stunning attended lobby.  Located in a historic district directly facing Riverside Park, the intention of the developer was to preserve the ambiance and historical authenticity of this rare gem built in 1910. This beautiful condominium which has been featured in several movies and television shows features a resident superintendent, storage, bicycle room, fitness center, and laundry room. With the express 2/3 trains only a few blocks away and several shops and excellent restaurants to choose from in the immediate area, this location offers an exceptional lifestyle and convenience.
