11 Riverside Drive, 10-DEE

Welcome to this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence at full-service Schwab House, situated in the coveted West 70s on the Upper West Side. Created from a thoughtful combination of apartments, this corner home offers a larger footprint than the building’s standard three-bedroom line. A proper foyer opens into a mudroom with built-in bench seating, a desk, and ample storage - the rare New York entryway with somewhere to put everything. A separate dining room sits at the center of the home, set just off the windowed kitchen. Beyond it, the living room faces east, overlooking West End Avenue, and is anchored by a wall of built-in bookshelves. The two rooms together stretch more than thirty-two feet, generous enough for twelve at dinner and for a party that spills easily from one into the other. The windowed kitchen features white lacquer cabinetry, stone counters, Sub-Zero, Viking, and Bosch appliances, and ample counter and storage space. The bedrooms occupy their own wings for ultimate privacy. The corner primary bedroom functions as a private suite and has northern and eastern exposures. The dressing room and walk-in closet lead to a recently renovated, windowed bathroom featuring marble wall tile, slate-gray Chevron tile floors, a Toto toilet, and a walk-in shower with a built-in bench. Two more bedrooms and a second full bath sit on the opposite side of the home, both with custom built-in storage. Steady natural light fills the apartment from morning through the afternoon, with open views and a glimpse of the river. The in-unit washer and dryer are discreetly tucked away off the bedroom hallway, and through-the-wall air conditioning adds everyday comfort. Schwab House is a full-service cooperative in the heart of the West 70s, directly across from Riverside Park and its playgrounds, bike paths, sports fields, dog runs, and waterfront dining. The building offers on-site management, 24-hour doormen, concierge, handymen, and a parking garage, as well as a fitness center, playroom, community room, two landscaped roof decks with sweeping city and river views, bike room, storage lockers, dry cleaner/tailor, and library. There are newly renovated hallways and an air-conditioned lobby. The building is pet-friendly, and the board allows 75% financing, pied-à-terre ownership, parents buying for adult children, guarantors, and joint purchases. Citarella, Fairway, and Trader Joe's are around the corner. The 1, 2, and 3 trains are a short walk away, Lincoln Center and the Beacon Theatre are minutes away, and the rest of the Upper West Side unfolds from there.
