140 Riverside Drive #1-CH

Newly updated and legally combined, this rare 3 bedroom, 3 full bathroom home is located right across from Riverside Park in one of Riverside Drive's most esteemed landmarked buildings. This incredibly large three bedroom, three full bathroom maisonette home offers the space and comfort that may have seemed out of reach to many. Upon entering, one is struck by an impressive entrance gallery and oversized living space. Scaffolding, which has compromised this beautiful southern light, is set for removal shortly. The separate dining area, also with open southern exposure, flows seamlessly off of the main room. The kitchen is complete with top of the line stainless steel appliances including a sub-zero refrigerator, a wine refrigerator and granite counter tops. All windows in the unit are professionally soundproofed. All three bedrooms are large, each with their own FULL bathroom. The enormous primary bedroom has double exposure, two walk-in closets, and an en-suite bath. The other two bedrooms are large, one with a separate entrance to the street (currently closed off) and custom shelving that could easily be converted into a home office or professional suite. All windows are outfitted with solid wood shutters, adding not only character and warmth but also an extra level of privacy. Washer/dryer permitted in this unit. An abundance of closet space and solid wood herringbone floors throughout. Designed in 1938 by renowned architect Emery Roth, the Normandy has two distinct entrances (one on 86th and one on 87th) each with a separate lobby and elevator bank. This full-service cooperative offers a full-time door staff and concierge as well as a live-in super. Amenities include a bike room, storage, fitness center, children's playroom and laundry in the building. Located right in the heart of the UWS, transportation, shopping, dining and top private and public schools are all within a short walk. Co-purchasing and Pied--terres are permitted. Pets welcome.
