210 Riverside Drive #6A

The first thing you notice is the views of the park and river(from the living room and master bedroom) in this lovely, sprawling, winged 3 bedroom (each with ensuite bath) on a quiet Upper West Side block. Renovated traditionally with an elegant contemporary edge, this apartment features crown moldings, high ten foot ceilings, a formal dining room, an eat-in kitchen with a Miele dishwasher, new master bath (the others are restored), hardwood floors, and more than ample closet space (finished by California Closets). Some of the doorways retain the arch of the original layout, lending to the unit’s charm. Looking out over water and trees, you feel like you have your own backyard.

The building, constructed circa 1910, has a grand lobby and two elevators. It is close to some of the best shopping in Manhattan and convenient to both bus and subway lines. While situated near everything the Upper West Side has to offer, this location is far enough off the beaten path to provide people who live there some peace and quiet, a respite to the city buzz. This kind of apartment – a gem combining space, convenience and solitude – is increasingly difficult to find in Manhattan. Do not miss it!
