Architectural Elegance on the River: 190 Riverside Drive, Apt 11C
Experience an exceptional convergence of Gilded Age ambiance and 21st-century sophistication. Apartment 11C is a unique river-view, 3600+sf, 5-bedroom prewar condominium, a testament to the enduring vision of architect Ralph Townsend. Originally completed in 1910, the apartment has undergone a comprehensive, “studs-out” renovation, seamlessly integrating state-of-the-art infrastructure within a pristine historical envelope.
Entertaining on the River: The home’s classic floor plate is anchored by a graceful central gallery, the gateway to a classic trio of entertaining rooms overlooking the Hudson.
The Living Room: Buoyed by 10-foot ceilings and period millwork, panoramic southwest river and park views perfectly complement the nearby Lysicrates-inspired Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument.
The Library & Dining Room: Elegantly flanking the living room, these chambers create a seamless flow for grand-scale hosting, bathed in the golden light of the riverfront.
Artisanal design: The residence displays a repertoire of early 20th C. detail, from a gorgeous Art Nouveau entrance to intricate white oak marquetry floors and newly installed double-glazed windows and doors encased by exquisite period moldings.
Infrastructure: The meticulous renovation includes multi-zone central air conditioning, entirely new electrical and plumbing systems and a cutting-edge security system.
Kitchen: A culinary sanctuary overlooking the river, with stone counters, custom cabinetry, a large Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigeration (+ additional drawer storage), and a Miele dishwasher.
Support Spaces: An ample pantry, laundry, and a bright home office/bedroom.
Private Quarters: The bedroom wing is an area of calm. The primary suite features a cinematic NW view of the Hudson stretching toward the George Washington Bridge, with a lovely dressing area and a spa-like bath. An additional large, sunny bedroom also contains an ensuite bath.
A fine fifth bedroom and staff room both provide flexible space for guests or live-in support.
Commissioned in 1908, 190 Riverside Drive is a landmark master work defined by its “…suave Renaissance assurance, limestone trim and sophisticated lobby decoration, rare for a West Side apartment house.”
Residents enjoy 24-hour doorman service and a live-in resident manager. The building is pet-friendly and contains an on-site garage (parking spaces available for separate purchase) as well as a small gym.
Located on a bucolic stretch of Riverside Drive, Apartment 11C offers an unmatched Manhattan lifestyle – a tranquil, park-side retreat with the scale and finish defining a world-class residence.
