5 RIVERSIDE Drive #2A

Rarely available and highly desirable A-line apartment in one of the Upper West Side's storied white glove art deco cooperatives. Boasting direct leafy views of Riverside Park, this gracious classic five apartment, currently configured as a three-bedroom home, enjoys wonderful western sunlight and lovely period details. The thoughtful layout includes an entry gallery opening to the bright and grand sunken living room replete with charming details including beamed ceilings, decorative fireplace, and gorgeous herringbone floors. The windowed kitchen has ample storage and countertop space and a walk-in closet which could be converted back to its original powder room or a laundry room with board approval. A private hall provides separation from the public spaces and leads to two large bedrooms, one featuring sunny open views to the west and either of which could function as the primary. There is an en-suite windowed bathroom and another bathroom in the hallway which also works perfectly as a guest bathroom. The generously proportioned third bedroom could easily be restored to the original elegant dining room with its artful casement windows and flooded with morning sunlight. Beautiful wood floors, charming details, high ceilings, and terrific closet space complete this not-to-be-missed opportunity to create the stunning and sophisticated home of your dreams. Designed by the famed architectural firm of Boak & Paris in 1937, this impeccably maintained full-service building offers a 24-hour doorman, live-in building manager, private storage, central laundry, and a bike room. Pets and in-unit washer and dryers are permitted with board approval and 66% financing is allowed. No pied-a-terre permitted. Most sought after Upper West Side location minutes from Lincoln Center and Central Park, close to every mode of transportation, and surrounded by fabulous dining and shopping. The bedrooms have been virtually staged.
