Property Description for 137 Riverside Drive, 4-BC

Sophisticated Riverside Park Corner Residence Move-in ready mint-condition 8-room prewar corner residence with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and exceptional scale throughout. Thoughtfully redesigned with an ideal layout for both entertaining and everyday living, this extraordinary home seamlessly blends classic prewar proportions with sleek contemporary finishes. A gracious gallery foyer with two large closets leads to a dramatic sequence of entertaining spaces overlooking Riverside Park, including a grand living room with marble fireplace, formal dining room, oversized family room/den, and a stunning house-sized eat-in kitchen. Expansive windows frame picturesque treetop and park views while flooding the home with beautiful natural light throughout the day. The sophisticated eat-in kitchen is beautifully designed with custom white cabinetry, marble countertops, oversized center island, abundant storage, and premium appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele wall ovens, microwave, warming drawer, wine refrigeration, and additional refrigerated drawers. A custom built-in banquette dining area with integrated workspace creates the perfect setting for casual dining, entertaining, or working from home. Privately positioned apart from the entertaining rooms, the bedroom wing offers exceptional privacy and functionality. The corner primary suite enjoys sweeping western views over Riverside Park and northern views overlooking the iconic Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument, and features a windowed spa-like bathroom with double-sink vanity, oversized glass shower, and refined modern finishes. Three additional bedrooms are generously proportioned with excellent closet space. The large secondary windowed bathroom is beautifully finished in marble and features a double-sink vanity with abundant storage, soaking tub, and separate glass-enclosed shower. A third bathroom includes a glass-enclosed shower and contemporary finishes. Additional highlights include extra-high ceilings, dark hardwood floors, custom millwork, recessed lighting, in-unit washer/dryer, enormous walk-in storage closet, and curated designer finishes throughout. A rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready 4-bedroom prewar residence with grand proportions, sophisticated design, modern functionality, and sweeping Riverside Park views — a combination seldom available at this price point. 137 Riverside Drive, also known as The Clarendon, is an elegant turn-of-the-century full-service cooperative located on the corner of Riverside Drive and West 86th Street. Amenities include full-time doormen, live-in resident manager, fitness room, individual storage, laundry room, and bicycle room. Pets are permitted.

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.
