180 Riverside Drive #8E

Apartment 8E at 180 Riverside Drive is an oversized classic 6 room home at one of the most highly regarded white glove addresses on Riverside Drive. Directly across the street from the beauty and recreation of Riverside Park with all the conveniences of the Upper West Side nearby. Well-maintained by the same owners for several decades, the home is prime for the new owner’s minimal work to move in or renovate to specifications. The apartment has been freshly painted.

The gracious and outsized two-bedroom + home office/laundry room, two-and-a-half-bathroom layout provides a wonderful flow and separation between formal entertaining and private living. Old-world details and scale are preserved throughout with hardwood floors, high-beamed ceilings, oversized windows, open archways, crown and baseboard moldings, and an impressive receiving gallery. The formal rooms open onto each other creating a 40’ expanse with a very spacious living room and formal dining room that showcases an east-facing open city view that provides lovely natural light into the space. An extended entry foyer and gallery space adds to the generous entertaining expanse and is flexible in its utility.

The windowed kitchen currently features stainless appliances with a new sink and backsplash, as well as a butler’s pantry. A large home office / laundry room off the kitchen has an east-facing window, and full-size washer and dryer. Originally the staff room, there is an adjacent guest powder room.

The resident’s wing is very quiet with two very spacious bedrooms, each with en-suite baths. Both baths are in original condition with pedestal sinks. There is generous closet storage throughout the home.

180 Riverside Drive is an elegant, prewar cooperative with an attentive full-time staff including 24-hour doormen, handymen, porters and a helpful live-in resident manager. Amenities include a new state-of-the-art gym, playroom, storage, laundry room and bicycle rooms in the basement.
