Description

Rosario Candela's classic, pre-war architecture creates a stunning impression on entering this open, spacious, three-bedroom three-bath apartment. A rare opportunity to own approx. 1,850 square feet of classic Candela begins with a walk down a gracious entrance gallery. The doubly wide 31 ft. 6 in. x 7 ft. 6 in. hallway provides an elegant flow to each room, including an over-sized formal living room with partial Riverside Park views, and a full dining room. The original French doors remain intact. There are three bedrooms with baths en suite. The kitchen is a masterpiece in itself. The owners, both architects, have created a fully equipped cook's heaven in a sublime setting with a closeted washer/dryer. The many custom features - too numerous to list - must be seen to be appreciated. Amazing closets and beautiful oak floors complete the picture of a spectacular Manhattan home. Through the wall A/C is allowed. 285 Riverside Drive is a long-established cooperative founded in 1969. A full service building. Pets are welcome. 2% Flip tax paid by buyer.
