Residence 3A at 110 Riverside Drive, one of the most sought-after, pre-war co-op buildings on the upper West Side, offers incredible scale and sanctuary within this approximately 2900 SF home. With direct views to the south and west over Riverside Park and the Hudson River, the apartment is flooded with natural light through its large and oversized picture windows throughout.
Upon entering the home from a semi-private vestibule, you are met with a large entry gallery from which the entertaining and private spaces wing off. To the south, a large living room and adjoining, but separate, windowed dining room invites you in. Off the dining area and through sliding glass pocket doors, a perfectly appointed, eat-in chef's kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances connects to a large, multi-purpose media room, home office, and laundry room, as well as one of the apartment's four bedrooms with an en-suite bath, all with northern exposures.
Through the gallery and into the western wing of the residence, a long corridor connects the primary and two secondary bedrooms. All are generous in size with direct Park views and have ample closet space, as well as access to their own bathrooms. The large and particularly memorable, corner primary-bedroom has exposures to the south and west; its spacious, en-suite, stone-tiled bathroom has a large window, deep soaking bathtub, and separate shower.
Situated on a gorgeous, tree-lined block within the Riverside West End Historic District, 110 Riverside Drive epitomizes refined living with its full suite of amenities, including a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, fitness room, playroom, central laundry, and bicycle storage. Pets are welcome, and the co-op permits up to 60% financing (depending upon whether its fixed or adjustable). Riverside Park is just inches away, and Central Park is a few blocks east. Amazing gourmet food shops, boutiques, restaurants and nightlife destinations line the nearby streets, with easy access to transportation via the 1/2/3, B and C trains, excellent bus service, and CitiBike docks.
Pied- -terres are not permitted and there is a 2% flip tax, paid by the buyer.
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.
