Unrivaled River View Marries Pre-war Style

Perched high above the Hudson River, this one-of-a-kind fully renovated two bedroom home boasts nine new windows offering breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Hudson River and Riverside Park from both western and southern exposures. From the moment you step into the gracious, welcoming foyer, the tranquil panorama of the Hudson River becomes the centerpiece of your home. At its heart lies a stunning living room seamlessly connected to an adjoining bedroom/den by a custom-designed steel-and-glass sliding wall. When opened, these spaces merge into a grand, expansive area where the magnificent river scenery captivates from every vantage point. When closed, the study transforms into a private second bedroom, offering versatile living options.

An architect's creation: every finish has been custom-made; every wall carefully considered. Hand-hewn walnut floors stretch throughout. The kitchen and bathroom both enjoy southern light and showcase exquisite limestone reclaimed from a centuries-old French château adding timeless character. The double sided kitchen's custom stone and tile work - including a custom-carved stone sink - bring a sense of permanence and craft rarely found in contemporary apartments. Your inner chef will appreciate the incredible storage cabinets, the Sub-Zero refrigerator, double wall oven and a five burner stovetop. The windowed bathroom is a serene retreat, offering a deep soaking tub, a built-in seated mirrored nook and tremendous storage. Bespoke, high-end millwork lines the living room and den with fully integrated storage and concealed recessed lighting. Custom hardware by E.R. Butler & Co. exists throughout the home as does through wall air-conditioning. This singular residence presents a rare opportunity to own a meticulously crafted home that celebrates both impeccable design and inspiring river views.
