352 Riverside Drive #0

This beautifully historic one-of-a-kind 26-foot wide limestone and brick Mansion was constructed in 1900 by architect Robert D. Kohn in the Beaux Arts style. The goal was to create a little bit of Paris in New York, and the elegantly designed Mansion at 352 Riverside accomplishes that and more. Listed in the National Registry of Historic Places, the Mansions original owner was Adolphe Openhym, a wealthy silk merchant. Since then there have only been four owners, each a dedicated steward to historic preservation. Therefore, the intricate details of the original house have been very well preserved. The five story home spans just over 9,000 square feet and has nine bedrooms, six full bathrooms and three powder rooms. In addition there is a windowed finished basement that totals 1,840 square feet. There are eight fireplaces, floor-to-ceiling mahogany windows, leaded glass windows, and a baronial mahogany staircase with an original Tiffany skylight at the top. The mansion sits on a 41 foot wide lot with a south, west and east facing side court as well as a lavish sunken garden. In addition, there is a landscaped roof garden with river views. An elevator runs throughout the residence along with modern features such as wireless internet, phone and security systems. 352 Riverside runs along the scenic Riverside Park and retains some of the best views of the Hudson River in all of Manhattan.GARDEN FLOOR Upon entering the Mansion, you find yourself in an enormous corner entrance gallery fitted with beautiful wood paneling, original moldings and five picturesque windows.
