Property Description for 137 Riverside Drive, 2DE/1CD

Sunset light pours across the Hudson River and into this remarkable duplex at The Clarendon .

Overlooking Riverside Park from one of the Upper West Side's most storied boulevards, 2D offers the rare combination of townhouse scale and white-glove cooperative living. Meticulously renovated, the six-bedroom, five-bathroom home unfolds across two expansive levels that balance classic prewar elegance with contemporary design.

The main level is anchored by a great room framed by sweeping west-facing windows that capture open sky, park greenery, and river views. Intricate inlaid wood floors and a marble fireplace lend warmth and architectural character to the space, while the scale of the room invites both elegant entertaining and relaxed everyday living.

A chef's kitchen with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, Caesarstone counters, and a full suite of Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele appliances centers around an oversized island designed for gathering.

The private bedroom wing includes a corner primary suite with custom closets and a spa-like marble bath, along with a second primary suite featuring its own dressing room and ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms and a flexible den or media room complete the level.

A sculptural staircase leads to the dramatic lower level, where 10-foot ceilings create an airy, loft-like environment rarely found in prewar cooperatives. A gallery hallway opens to a nearly 30-foot great room with decorative marble fireplace-an ideal setting for entertaining or quiet retreat. French doors reveal a fully equipped in-law suite, while an additional bedroom and bath provide further flexibility.

Throughout the home, thoughtful details - including Italian Calacatta marble inlays, sculpted marble windowsills, and quartersawn oak floors with walnut trim - speak to the quality of the renovation. Modern comforts include new windows , in-unit washer dryer and multi-zone central air.

Built at the turn of the century, The Clarendon is a full-service cooperative with a full-time doorman , resident manager, fitness center, private storage, bicycle room, and laundry facilities.

Positioned at the corner of West 86th Street and Riverside Drive, the building enjoys immediate access to Riverside Park, the Hudson River waterfront, and the best dining, shops, and cultural institutions of the Upper West Side.

A residence defined by scale, light, and the timeless beauty of Riverside Drive.

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.
