404 Riverside Drive #1C

Riverside Park , River Views, app. 1200sf Convertible 2 BRThe Strathmore may be architecturally the most important residential building on Riverside Drive, and this rarely offered line is the largest (approx 1200sf) and most spectacular one-bedroom anywhere on the drive. This is a second floor apartment, not on the building ground floor. All rooms are directly on the river with tree top views of Riverside Park, the Hudson River in the winter and the Palisades. The dimensions are huge — the living room measures 20 × 21 ft and the bedroom measures 20 × 21 ft. and can easily be converted into a work/office/den. The centrally located entrance foyer provides wonderful access and flow to the apartment. The pre-war details are fabulous, with 11 foot ceilings, complex plasterwork moldings, gorgeous coffered ceiling (a honey-combed effect), and elaborately bordered parquet floors. The windowed bathroom maintains its original character. Entry into the building immediately evokes a by-gone era and a fabled living style. The Strathmore is located on Riverside Park and steps from Columbia University in the serene Morningside neighborhood and three blocks from the subway at Broadway & 110th
