Abundant grand picture windows provide brilliant light throughout and a highly desirable vantage point with magnificent sunsets that are guaranteed. A stunning seasonal perspective is also a remarkable benefit of owning this beautiful home. These exceptional vistas from every room only enhance the impressive scale and proportions of the apartment as well as the original old world detail that has been lovingly preserved throughout including high, beamed ceilings, oversized windows, beautiful hardwood floors and detailed moldings. The gracious floor plan presents a perfect balance for both entertaining and living with a grand open loft-like expanse on the Park offering plenty of room for both formal living and dining, a lovely entry foyer and small study. On the north end of the home, also with big sunny Park views is a bright kitchen with new dishwasher, butlers pantry, plenty of storage and a very large staff room (or home office as it is currently configured) with new full-size washer and dryer. The residents wing of the layout resides on the southern end of the home with two huge bedrooms (one a corner master suite with exceptional Park and River views), two full bathrooms and a very generous amount of storage space (including a large walk-in cedar closet in the 2nd bedroom). Additionally, the layout offers plenty of flexibility to accommodate personal needs. Perched above the Hudson River, Riverside Drive curves gracefully for much of its length and is a wonderful residential thoroughfare that borders Riverside Park. It is well-known for its beauty, serenity, and safety. It is extremely quiet and offers a retreat from busy city life.
