173-175 Riverside Drive #6/7B

Welcome home to one of Riverside Drive’s most outstanding 8 room apartments in one of the Upper West Side’s most coveted pre-war coops. Renowned for its large rooms, a gracious layout, and timeless architectural detail, 6B at 173 Riverside Drive, is an amazing duplex that is set-apart from all the others: 2800 SF, 4 or 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms and huge living space.

All major rooms face south with overlooking a handsome row of landmarked brownstones and the Rice Mansion and side views of Riverside Park and the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. The duplex layout allows for a clear separation of the public and private rooms that is rare for coop living: the 6th Floor with its grand living spaces and the 7th floor bedroom wing. Entering on the 6th floor, the entry foyer showcases the handsome original wrought iron and brass staircase. To the left through French doors is the light-filled study that can also be used as a fifth bedroom or home office and has its own private bathroom. The 25’ x 15.7 ft gracious living room is large enough to hold a baby grand and gets bathed in southern light. The adjacent dining room is almost as large as the LR and is perfect space for entertaining. The eat-in chef’s kitchen is a cooks dream—with abundant counter and cabinet space, and the adjacent butler’s pantry provides additional storage and a concealed washer/dryer.

Upstairs, the 7th floor has four additional bedrooms and three full bathrooms. A wide hallway provides ample space for bookshelves or even a workspace. Three of the bedrooms face south, flooded in light with the higher floor gaining more bright sky over the brownstones. Two bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms, and there is third full bathroom off the hallway. The 13’5" x 18’9" SF primary bedroom easily fits a kings sized bed has two walk-in California closets. The fourth bedroom is now a huge home office and faces the planted inner courtyard.

173-175 Riverside Drive is a full-service coop that spans a whole block along the Drive and has entrances on both 89th and 90th Streets. The coop permits 50% financing, has excellent financials, and is impeccably maintained. Central AC permitted with board approval.
