Property Description for 299 Riverside Drive, 12-E

SPONSOR SALE! NO BOARD APPROVAL!

First time offered! A rare opportunity for top floor prewar living with stunning light and soaring city views on a most charming landmarked street. Presently configured as a two bedroom/two bath home, this unique apartment offers a flexible floorplan that can be configured in any number of ways to suit your needs. For example a third bedroom can easily be achieved with one demising wall in the enormous country kitchen.

On entering this lovely and memorable home, you are greeted by a charming living room which features an original decorative fireplace and an adjacent office nook, which makes for a perfect WFH station. Beyond the living room leads the core hallway which links all other rooms of the apartment. In the oversized windowed kitchen/dining room, you will find a pleasing marriage of pre-war charm and contemporary sparkle, where whitewashed exposed brick meets brand new stainless steel appliances, floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry in white high gloss, and a matching Caesarstone slab countertop and backsplash. Entertaining large groups is made easy in this space which can accommodate dining for 8+.

After a long day of work, you will undoubtedly find comfort in retreating to the enormous primary bedroom, which features an ensuite bath with an original restored cast iron tub and classic and refined fixtures. The primary bedroom also features two closets and plenty of space for additional furniture such as beauty station or sitting area. Between the bedroom and bathroom you will enjoy three large windows with eastern exposures, which envelope the room in warm and radiating morning sunlight and boast views extending for miles, over the treetops of Central Park to Queens and beyond. The second bedroom, also outstanding in size, is located on the opposite side of the apartment, most ideal for privacy, and features a Northern exposure overlooking 102nd Street with glimpses of the Hudson River. The windowed hall bath features a second original restored cast iron tub, updated fixtures, and stunning views east.

This one-of-a-kind apartment simply emanates old-world charm, with its original moldings, soaring high ceilings, and graciously proportioned rooms. This pre-war charm is also reflected in the striking coop building at large, which feature a gorgeous restored marble lobby, two elevators, a laundry room, bike room, storage room, and a shared outdoor garden. Helpful building staff includes a part-time door attendant and resident superintendent.

Please note that this apartment is being sold as-is and there is a monthly assessment of $99.74 until June 2023.

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.
