440 Riverside Drive #58

SUN-FILLED OPPORTUNITY JUST AROUND THE RIVER'S BEND

COMFY REVISION-READY CLASSIC

BIG & BRIGHT RAW BEAUTY w/A SIDE-PEEK OF THE PARK & THE RIVER

In 1909, the renowned architectural duo of Schwartz & Gross envisioned, with the Paterno Brothers, what is now one of Riverside Drive's most treasured buildings: The Paterno a formidable, handsome beauty with an elegant porte-cochere entry and a fabulous facade that curves gracefully towards Claremont Avenue and Barnard College of Columbia University.

Through the marvelous marble lobby with its gorgeous stained glass ceiling and up at just the ideal level to benefit from the light and views afforded by the coveted South side of its iconic building, this sun-graced home is ready for its next chapter.

The grand living/dining room spans nearly 22-feet wide, and its four big windows feature a stupendous, South-facing stretch of architectural views that curve down to a sweet, side-peek of Riverside Park and the Hudson River.

Two sizable bedrooms enjoy more of this home's signature, sunshiney, South-facing views, and both bedrooms are served by a classic, windowed bath. A bonus office/guest space dubs as a flexible den/'3rd bedroom,' and it is served by its own ensuite half bath. There is a windowed kitchen, a welcoming foyer, soaring ceilings, and heart-warming moldings and detail that date back before WWI. Throughout this home, there is a good feeling a feeling anchored in the classic comfort that comes with time.

The layout is flexible, and although this home can be fully reinvented (please see proposed alternate plan), it doesn't have to be. The beauty of this raw-but-ready residence is that it can be completely re-invented, or just shined up some.

Sweetly positioned in its stunning, historic building, this home enjoys the benefits of its full-service address. With a doorman, resident Superintendent, laundry, bike, and storage rooms, and a glorious river-view roof deck, life here is easy and convenient. Nearby is most every area cultural, educational, dining, and shopping destination, supreme access to Riverside Park, easy access to playgrounds, transportation, and more. Life here is easy and good.

In 1909, Schwartz & Gross envisioned grand beauty and grace perched dramatically by Riverside Park. Today, that classic beauty and grace are right here waiting for you ready for your vision.
