Property Description for 90 Riverside Drive, PH-A

The Epitome of Penthouse Living on the Upper West Side

Welcome to Penthouse A at 90 Riverside Drive, a true masterpiece of luxury living. This extraordinary residence offers an exquisite blend of sophisticated design, breathtaking views, and unmatched outdoor space. Meticulously rebuilt over a five-year gut renovation, this three-bedroom (plus home office), three-and-a-half-bath penthouse seamlessly marries modern elegance with its pre-war heritage.

Spanning approximately 6,000 square feet of interior and private outdoor space, this penthouse offers a rare opportunity to live expansively in the heart of the Upper West Side. With direct elevator access to a private landing, residents enjoy both privacy and convenience. The home boasts four exposures, providing panoramic south and west views of the city skyline and the Hudson River. Every room opens to the wraparound terrace, creating an effortless blend of indoor and outdoor living.

The gourmet kitchen, positioned on the northwest corner, is a culinary dream with triple exposures, including eastern light, bathing the space in natural sunlight throughout the day. A substantial center island provides ample workspace, complemented by a side-by-side double refrigerator, an eight-burner range, and top-of-the-line appliances. Double dishwashers ensure seamless cleanup, while a built-in a bench with interior storage and a built-in tag re add functionality to the thoughtfully designed space.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the expansive dining area comfortably accommodates a table for 12 guests, offering stunning Hudson River views that enhance every meal. A nearby wet bar with a sink provides added convenience for hosting cocktails while enjoying spectacular sunsets over the river.

The living room is a warm and inviting space, anchored by a gas fireplace and featuring dual southwest exposures, making it the perfect setting for both relaxation and entertaining. Custom-built-in shelving offers ample room to showcase art, books, and family heirlooms, adding a personal touch to this sophisticated space.

A serene corridor leads to the private quarters, where all south-facing bedrooms feature en-suite baths, offering comfort and privacy. The primary suite is a luxurious retreat, boasting a windowed five-piece bath with spa-like finishes and a generous walk-in closet that provides abundant storage. A windowed home office with northern exposure offers a bright, peaceful workspace, while a conveniently located powder room adds practicality to this thoughtfully designed wing.

Additional amenities elevate this penthouse to an unparalleled level of luxury. The residence includes a vented full-size washer and dryer within a dedicated laundry room, ensuring household tasks are easily handled. Independent mechanical systems, including a private water heater, allow autonomy from the building's utilities, while central air conditioning, Lutron lighting, and automated shades offer seamless control of ambiance and comfort.

The protected southern city and western river views further enhance its exclusivity.

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.
