395 RIVERSIDE Drive #3A

Enter a world of timeless Upper West Side elegance - where gracious living meets grand scale. A spacious gallery foyer unfolds beneath 9-foot coved ceilings, anchored by gleaming original herringbone parquet in rich walnut and framed by crisp picture-frame moldings. Straight ahead, elegant French doors open to the grand living room, where natural light and exceptional scale await.

The exceptionally large, sun-filled living room showcases impeccably preserved herringbone floors with classic border inlays, soaring coved ceilings, and two oversized black-framed windows that flood the space with natural light. Thoughtfully updated with a newly built custom closet, this gracious entertaining room offers classic Upper West Side outlooks and the scale rarely found in today's market.
Currently configured as two bedrooms, this approximately 1,600 sq ft home offers remarkable flexibility. The formal dining room can easily convert to a private 3rd bedroom or home office. The home's generous proportions and smart layout comfortably allow for the sought-after addition of a 2nd bathroom - a rare opportunity to add significant value.
Oversized Pass-Through Galley Kitchen with Service Entry A true rarity in prewar co-ops, this oversized pass-through galley kitchen delivers space, light, and functionality. Bright white cabinetry and classic blue counters frame a full-size stainless gas range, dishwasher, and the ultimate luxury - a full-size stacked washer and dryer inside the unit, vented to the exterior. With a private service entry directly from the elevator/stair hall, groceries and deliveries arrive straight into the kitchen without crossing formal living areas. At the far end, a dedicated pantry niche with two full-height closets adds versatile storage for a food pantry, broom closet, appliance garage, or coffee bar. With warm wood floors, abundant cabinetry, and room for a breakfast table, this kitchen offers move-in convenience plus tremendous renovation potential.
