270 Riverside Drive, 2-C

Perched above the treetops with enchanting views of Riverside Park, this expansive 2,400-square-foot home in a distinguished full-service prewar condominium offers a rare blend of grandeur, original detail, boundless potential, and timeless elegance on the Upper West Side. With soaring ceilings just shy of 10 feet, original hardwood floors with intricate inlays, and classic moldings throughout, this palatial residence invites you to reimagine the space to suit your personal vision—or simply move right in and enjoy its timeless charm as-is. Currently configured as four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the home offers remarkable flexibility for customization or immediate comfort. A gracious entry foyer welcomes you into a sprawling living room, where oversized windows perfectly frame the verdant canopy of Riverside Park in the spring and summer, and open to reveal river vistas during the colder months. One of the windows overlooks the original building portico, creating a unique, unofficial terrace exclusive to this apartment. The adjacent primary bedroom enjoys the same spectacular views, creating a peaceful retreat. Two additional spacious bedrooms and two windowed bathrooms—one recently updated—are located in this wing of the residence. On the opposite side of the home, a generous formal dining room leads to a beautifully renovated, windowed kitchen outfitted with a six-burner Viking range and a sleek Liebherr counter-depth refrigerator. A fourth bedroom and third full bathroom complete the layout. Freshly painted and skim-coated walls throughout add a clean, move-in-ready feel. 270 Riverside Drive is a meticulously restored turn-of-the-century gem, crafted from granite and limestone and defined by its stately wrought iron doors and elegantly attended lobby. Built in 1910 and set within a historic district, the building has been thoughtfully preserved to reflect its original charm and character. Featured in numerous films and television productions, this exceptional condominium offers a resident superintendent, fitness center, storage, bicycle room, and laundry facilities. Perfectly positioned just steps from the scenic paths of Riverside Park and a short walk to the express 2/3 subway lines, local boutiques, cafes, and acclaimed restaurants, this home offers the ultimate in classic New York living—with both timeless character and everyday convenience.
