Description
Welcome to an extraordinary residence nestled in one of New York City's most coveted enclaves, directly across from the esteemed Riverhouse. This rare trophy property, situated in a serene cul-de-sac overlooking the East River, is a true testament to elegance and sophistication. Built in 1927, this remarkable conversion features a selection of just 16 floor-through apartments and duplexes, all boasting unobstructed views that stretch majestically up and down the river.
As you enter this distinct building, the sense of grandeur envelops you. Each apartment is accessed via a private elevator, leading to an exclusive landing, complemented by a dedicated storage unit. Residents enjoy the luxury of a full-time doorman, and a live-in resident manager, ensuring every need is met with utmost care.
The architectural details of this building are nothing short of sublime, echoing the historic legacy of its past residents-Hollywood royalty and some of America's wealthiest pioneers. These homes are truly unparalleled, offering ceiling heights exceeding 24 feet, creating a sense of space and light that is rarely found in urban living.
This exquisite duplex, with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, spans a total of ten rooms, with an private elevator between both floors embodying the essence of a grand manor in the heart of the city. The layout is simply magnificent, designed for both entertaining and intimate living. Upon entering, one is greeted by a superb and gracious entryway and stunning spiral staircase, that sets the tone for the entire home. The great room is a breathtaking centerpiece, with a wood burning fireplace, featuring corner apex windows that frame stunning views of the Hudson River, bathing the space in natural light throughout the day. This remarkable residence not only offers a luxurious lifestyle but also a connection to the rich tapestry of New York City's history, with past residents like Greta Garbo adding to its storied charm.
Discover a lifestyle defined by elegance, exclusivity, and breathtaking beauty in this unparalleled property-a true gem on the East River. A rarely available property of this nature is set apart.
