The Grinnell at 800 Riverside Drive #2E

Welcome to this beautifully proportioned, light-filled residence at the iconic Grinnell on Riverside Drive, where timeless pre-war character meets modern comfort in the heart of Upper Manhattan. Residence 2E is a gracious three-bedroom (convertible to four), two-bath corner home offering exceptional flow for both large-scale entertaining and everyday living. Far from cookie-cutter, this is a distinctive home rich in original detail and charm.

A welcoming entry hall with a generous coat closet sets the tone. The expansive living room features open eastern exposures, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and a decorative fireplace. Originally two rooms, the former library has been opened to create an impressive space that easily accommodates multiple seating areas. French doors lead to a well-proportioned dining room, perfectly suited for hosting anything from intimate dinners to gatherings of sixteen.

The windowed eat-in kitchen is thoughtfully designed with Caesarstone countertops, a breakfast bar, and stainless steel appliances. Just beyond is an oversized, windowed laundry room with a vented washer and dryer.

Separate from the entertaining rooms, the bedroom wing offers a quiet retreat. The primary suite enjoys double exposures and abundant natural light, along with a custom-fitted walk-in closet and an en-suite bath featuring a dual-sink vanity, Toto toilet, and a walk-in shower with dual Hansgrohe rain shower heads. Two additional bedrooms provide excellent flexibility for guests, a home office, or den. The second bath is beautifully appointed with blue-grey Moroccan tile, a Duravit sink and vanity, Toto toilet, and a soaking tub with waterfall faucet and Hansgrohe rain shower.

A rare offering that seamlessly blends scale, light, and character in one of Riverside Drive’s most sought-after buildings.
