404 RIVERSIDE Drive #3N

Perhaps the most coveted building anywhere on Riverside Drive, the Strathmore retains only a handful of its magnificent original 10-room apartments. The "N" line was last offered almost 20 years ago, and may be the largest original apartment anywhere on the Drive. It is 4-5 bedrooms, 3 baths and is in very good condition. It has spacious rooms, a gracious layout and superb pre-war details including near 11ft ceilings, complex plasterwork moldings, a quarter oak-paneled formal dining room with honey-combed ceiling, elaborately bordered parquet floors, leaded decorative-glass transoms, mahogany doors, and a rare original circular stall shower. The one significant change to the original plan was incorporating the pantry area to create a beautifully appointed large eat-in kitchen while retaining the original glass-fronted cabinets, augmented by custom-built replicas. Direct park views and multiple oversized windows provide excellent light from its west, north and south exposures. The Strathmore is a full service building located in the heart of the flourishing Columbia University neighborhood with 4 private schools, new shopping, dining and entertainment venues, as well as important new residential development. People wait years to live in this historic 1909 building. Entry into the building immediately evokes a by-gone era and a fabled living style. It offers an elegance and ambiance that cannot be matched anywhere on the Upper West Side. We welcome your inquiries of this most extraordinary home.
