54 RIVERSIDE Drive #2B

If you're in search of a large and comfortable, tranquil and sunny Classic Six home with an easy flow, high ceilings, a generous scale and a flexible layout (see alternate floor plan) - all in a prime 1924 building right off of Riverside Park - then life just got a little bit brighter. With tree-top views along historic West 78th Street, with a side-long peek at the park and river, and with a compelling pre-war soul, this updated residence - in its well-run building - is easy-to-live and easy-to-love. The over-scaled living room and formal dining room - right off of the welcoming foyer/gallery - are perfectly side-by-side, and gracefully separated by attractive French pocket doors. Ideal for entertaining, these parlor-level, front-facing rooms boast big windows, and enough space to truly spread out and enjoy life park-side. The jumbo kitchen boasts ample stone counters, designer tile backsplash, stainless appliances, good cabinet space, a center island with vented-hooded range, a wine fridge, and a side-by-side washer and vented dryer. The sizable guest bedroom suite boasts its own flexible en suite office/den/guest room, and is served by a full windowed guest bathroom with original cast-iron soaking tub and a pedestal sink. Quite separate from the rest of this handsome home is the master bedroom - a cheerful retreat with good closet space, a sweet en suite bath, and bright treetop views. With high-beamed ceilings and beautiful oak floors throughout, this sprawling home benefits from its pet-friendly, well run, fiscally fit building - a full service address with resident superintendent, and bike/laundry/storage rooms. Here you have higher service with lower maintenance charges - all in a location that comes with bragging rights: Nearby is every Upper Westside cultural, dining, and shopping destination, and a plethora of easy transportation options. If you need space and style - comfort and grace - then come spread out by the park.
