440 RIVERSIDE Drive #DUPLEX1

A sponsor apartment in one of Riverside Drive's most memorable full-service buildings, with a grand porte-cochere gracing the entrance, and curving up 116th Street onto Claremont Ave. This just-renovated beauty is in perfect condition, with central air conditioning throughout. The first floor consists of a loft-like living and dining area, surrounded with windows facing Riverside Park and 116th Street. You feel as if you're in a tree house! The gourmet cook's dream kitchen is open to the L-shaped "great room". With elegant marble countertops and top of the line appliances, it lends itself to entertaining friends and family. There is also a bedroom/den/media room and a bathroom on the main floor as well as a washer and dryer. The upper floor consists of a primary bedroom suite with a marble bath, which has a separate glass shower and bathtub, with two sinks and a marble-topped vanity. There are three additional bedrooms and another bathroom on this floor as well. The bedrooms have ample closets, large windows facing Riverside Park, and lots of light. All the work has been done to a very high standard. The building, known as the Paterno, was built in 1910 and co-op'd in 1979. The grand marble lobby has a stained glass "ceiling" and a full-time doorman. There is a bike room, some storage, and pets are welcome. No board approval is necessary because this is a sponsor apartment. This is a co-exclusive with Halstead Property Company.
