The second bathroom features a Koehler 66" cast iron tub, and rain shower enclosed in a clear frameless shower door. A small laundry room adjoins. Both bathrooms are adorned in Devonshire and Hampton Carrara marble with interesting McAlister black mosaic tiling. An oversized formal dining room can easily convert to a third bedroom. The windowed kitchen features granite countertops and an adjacent separate area for casual dining or home office. This charming home offers brilliant light and city or treetop views from all rooms.

The home's classic, elegant layout offers generous sized rooms, abundant plentiful closets throughout, high-beamed ceilings, and beautiful red oak quarter sawn hardwood floors.
The Building
285 Riverside Drive is considered to be one of the best full-service cooperatives on Riverside Drive, designed in 1926 by Rosario Candela, and converted to cooperative ownership in 1969. The cooperative is 100% owner-occupied. A hallmark of this building is the lovely entrance wrought iron doors and beautiful marble lobby with its intricately carved coffered ceiling. Candela buildings are sought after for their elegant, timeless floorplans. The building has excellent financials, and offers one of the lowest maintenances on Riverside Drive. There are full-time doormen, a live-in Resident Manager, bike room, storage, a central laundry room, and it is pet-friendly. Situated in the heart of the vibrant Upper Westside neighborhood, it is convenient to all transportation, restaurants, and shops.
