SPECTACULAR PARK AND RIVER VIEWS
Upon entering this elegant five room home one immediately experiences the peace and tranquility of being connected to the natural world through oversized windows framing the most stunning views of the Hudson River and Riverside Park!
The central entrance gallery provides a seamless transition space integrating the inviting entertaining rooms. The living room is to the west through a glass-paned entry and the gracious paneled dining room is to the east. This open layout creates a spacious and expansive flow allowing for light and views throughout the living space of the home.
The comfortable living room features direct river and park views and a decorative fireplace. The hypnotic boat traffic provides a serene and meditative atmosphere relaxing one’s senses. Brilliant light from the west flows through the extraordinary windows allowing for the enjoyment of glorious sunsets.
The distinguished formal dining room has been preserved with its original grandeur featuring ornamentally carved veneer wainscoting with picture ledge, wood beamed ceiling, a floor to ceiling bay window and a paneled service door to the kitchen blending into the wainscot complimenting the bay window. This special room is currently outfitted as a dining space and second seating area.
The center island kitchen features quartz counter tops and pretty white glass paned cabinetry with brushed hardware knobs. There is ample cabinet space and a utility closet. Light and ventilation are provided through a large window into the central courtyard plaza.
The spacious master bedroom is accessed through a private vestibule situated at the north end of central gallery. It enjoys direct river and park views. There is an extra-large windowed master bathroom off of the private vestibule. The master bedroom incorporates a double set of mirrored French doors that can access the living room if desired.
The second bedroom is off of a hallway from the kitchen and is currently set up as a study. There is a windowed half bath off of the room. Washer/Dryer is not permitted in apartment.
The Peter Stuyvesant was built in 1908 by James T. Lee, grandfather of the late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and designed by famed architect William L. Rouse. The architecture employs an Italian Renaissance Revival Style. The building facade conforms to the slight curve of Riverside Drive. The gracious lobby is entered through two sets of glass and iron work doors. There are two elevator banks each with two apartments per vestibule. Twelve floors including a European first floor comprise the residential apartments. These homes were originally built as 6 and 7 room apartments and were designed for privacy and light. Ceiling heights are approximated ten (10) feet.
The Peter Stuyvesant, 258 Riverside Drive was incorporated in 1986. This intimate cooperative has 49 residential units and one apartment for the superintendent. The building has a laundry facility, bicycle storage, storage bins (when available), roof deck, a two shift doorman and is pet friendly. It is located between 97th and 98th Streets on the drive’s access road. It is directly across from Riverside Park and its vast amenities including bicycle/running paths, playgrounds and a short walk to the clay tennis courts. Conveniently located to the #1 and #2/3 express subway station at 96th Street, uptown/downtown and cross town buses and variety of restaurants, shops and retail along the Broadway corridor, this special gem is not to be missed!
