180 Riverside Drive, 6-E

Off of the semi-private elevator landing, one enters this wonderful home. This classic home offers plenty of flexibility for the new owner, with beautifully proportioned rooms, a gracious open flow for entertaining, and excellent storage space. The home showcases gorgeous old world period details and grand scale and has a wonderful flow with the perfect separation between the formal entertaining and private living spaces. Striking pre-war details, including original hardwood floors, pristine accentuated crown and cove moldings, French Doors and high ceilings (9.7 feet).

The entrance foyer features a floor-to-ceiling entry mirror adorned with pilasters and spans 21 feet, allowing the perfect setting for art display. The entrance foyer opens up to a gallery/library, where there is handsome custom built-in cabinetry. The formal living room is separated from the gallery with a wall of beautiful French Doors, framed by an overhead transom and side panels of windowed panes.

The side-by-side living and dining rooms offer a unified and open-feeling living space that is inviting and perfect for entertaining. The dining room has a wall of custom built-in cabinetry, and an oversized, east facing picture window showcasing open sky and views of townhouse gardens. This view can also be enjoyed from the living room and gallery/library. The chef's windowed kitchen is fully equipped and can be accessed either from the dining room or the gallery/library. The staff room, currently configured as a home office, can also be used as a guest room (3rd bedroom). There is a W/D hook-up in the room.

The layout offers plenty of room for customization. For example, the gallery/library can be used as a dining area, which would allow the formal dining room to be used as a den or media room. There is a windowed powder room located between the kitchen and the staff room. The 2 spacious bedrooms, with en-suite windowed bathrooms, are accessed via a long hall, off of the entrance foyer, thereby separating them from the living/entertaining portion of the home affording privacy and quietness.
