285 RIVERSIDE Drive #7F

Overlooking lush gardens, flooded with light, is a rarely available two bedroom home with a windowed dining area, spacious living room, well proportioned two bedrooms and a restored windowed bathroom with classic detail.

Built in 1926 by master architect Rosario Candela, 285 Riverside Drive is the epitome of West Side elegance. A stunning lobby with gilded bas relief ceilings and inlaid marble floors welcomes you to this impressive apartment house. On the seventh floor- the first landing to clear due east- Apartment 7F offers wonderful natural light, charming views, and generous, usable space housed within a historic building directly on Riverside Park.

A 16 foot entrance gallery leads you to a cheerful living room with views over trees and townhouse gardens. A windowed dining area that will accommodate a table for eight is adjacent to a large kitchen with ample cook space and storage- ready to be designed to your taste and requirements.

The sun-filled master bedroom shares the same garden views and brilliant light. The spacious second bedroom is peaceful and quiet and is separated from the master bedroom by a lovely windowed bath with restored original fixtures. There are original, newly refinished hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings and smooth, solid plaster walls.

285 Riverside Drive is perfectly located at the south corner of 101st Street- across from the 101st Street soccer field, playgrounds, bike and walking trails. This historic co-operative features a 24 hour doorman, porters, and a resident building manager. In addition, 285 offers a central laundry room, bike and personal storage, and is pet friendly.
