33 RIVERSIDE Drive #4A

Rarely available, for the first time in many years, a coveted A line has now come on the market in one of the most desirable full-service cooperatives on Riverside Drive. This elegant three bedroom residence represents unrivalled beauty and a serene oasis. With only three apartments on the floor, one enters a lovely marble entrance gallery and is immediately entranced by the lush, green park views. There is an expansive formal dining room that opens to the living room allowing for brilliant light and wonderful park and river views. The generously scaled primary suite features scenic vistas, a dressing area with a wall of custom closets, a huge walk-in closet, and an elegant marble bath. The second bedroom is also generously sized. There are three full baths. There is a windowed eat-in kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops and a washer/dryer. The third bedroom currently used as a home office completes the perfect picture of this fine residence which lends itself as easily to both entertaining and casual living. There are finely crafted oak doors throughout, complemented by pristine herringbone floors. This lovely sanctuary offers direct park and river views, exceptional light, scenic vistas, high beamed ceilings, and abundant storage space. The 17 story building was erected in 1927 by George F. Pelham, one of the most prolific architects of the 1920s. During the Jazz Age it was home to George and Ira Gerschwin who had adjoining duplex penthouses. It is one of Riverside Drive's most sought-after cooperatives. The building is pet-friendly and offers storage, laundry, and bike rooms. Pied a terres are permitted. It is located in one of the most sought-after, vibrant and historic neighborhoods, and ideally situated across the street from Riverside Park. It is close to Fairway, Citarella, Zabar's, Lincoln Center, and convenient to all mass transportation.
