Property Description for 265 Riverside Drive, 3-E

Presented by a sponsor with no board approval or financial requirements, this brand-new, gut-renovated pre-war corner residence offers a rare opportunity to be the first to live in and enjoy every meticulously designed detail. This move-in ready home features a spacious one-bedroom, one-bath layout with in-unit laundry and open park views of lush treetops and blue skies, creating a serene and elevated living experience.

A gracious entry foyer welcomes you into the home- perfectly suited for use as a mudroom-and features a large entry closet, offering both functionality and a warm first impression.

The timeless elegance of pre-war architecture is seamlessly paired with modern design. Soaring 12-foot ceilings and expansive southern and western exposures flood the home with natural light throughout the day, while warm amber sunlight pours in and gentle breezes drift from the Hudson River, creating a luminous, inviting atmosphere. A dramatic wall of oversized windows anchors the open living and dining areas, offering a picturesque backdrop and an ideal setting for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The space comfortably accommodates a dining table for six or more and is centered around a striking island, all set atop natural blonde oak plank flooring.

The expansive great room also offers exceptional flexibility, with ample space to creatively carve out a convertible den and home office, providing a smart solution for guests or evolving lifestyle needs.

The windowed chef's kitchen is thoughtfully designed with brand-new, top-of-the-line appliances, abundant custom cabinetry, and additional storage seamlessly built into the island.

The king-sized primary bedroom easily accommodates a full suite of furniture along with a dedicated workspace, and includes a generous walk-in closet with additional overhead storage.

The spa-like bathroom has been beautifully reimagined, featuring a deep soaking tub, double-sink vanity with ample drawer storage, and sophisticated matte black finishes set against elegant tilework. A discreet, under-counter washer/dryer is seamlessly incorporated, along with a custom linen cabinet and functional folding space.

Set within a financially sound, boutique pre-war cooperative with low maintenance and no current assessments, the building offers an intimate layout with just three to four residences per floor. Amenities include a live-in superintendent, full-time porter, and a part-time doorman (4 PM-midnight, 7 days a week), along with bike storage, central laundry, dual elevator banks, and a pet-friendly policy.

Perfectly positioned on the Upper West Side, directly across from Riverside Park and moments from transportation and neighborhood retail, this residence offers the ideal combination of space, light, and long-term value.

As a sponsor sale, purchaser pays for sponsor transfer taxes and legal fees.

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.
