Description

Step through the original bronze mirrored doors from your own private elevator landing into a spectacular riverview mansion in the sky! There are unparalled Hudson River views West and North from seven of the thirteen rooms through multiple oversized windows. The additional six rooms are flooded with light and feature bright and open city views facing South and East. This is a rare opportunity to create an unrivalled thirteen room home on the top floor in one of Riverside Drive's most prestigious cooperatives. Creating this very special home will result in one of the most remarkable apartments to ever come on the market on Riverside Drive. The apartment features ten foot ceilings and superb turn-of-the-century details including beautiful inlaid herringbone and parquet floors, dentil moldings, wood-beamed ceilings, wainscoting, French doors, and two decorative fireplaces. The building has a roof deck which is conveniently accessible from the apartment. Avail yourself of proposed architectural plans; ready for your renovation. This fine residence was built in 1909 by famed architect William Rouse who designed many of the homes found on Riverside Drive as well as Fifth and Park Avenues. This prime building enjoys proximity to many of Manhattan's premier private schools. Much of the Upper West Side is protected by landmark status, and the neighborhood's restored townhouses and pre-war cooperatives are highly coveted.
