Inside this exceptional residence, tall beamed ceilings soar above designer lighting, wide-plank hardwood floors, extra-tall baseboards, elegant built-ins, and expansive windows framing unforgettable vistas. A gracious foyer with a coat closet invites you into the open-plan layout that stretches over 30 feet long from the dining area to a large living room with a new western window. Here, a stunning window seat artfully designed by Thu Do Architecture provides generous storage and a cozy perch for taking in remarkable views of Riverside Park, the Hudson River, spectacular sunsets and changing foliage. Bask in golden hour lighting that is pure magic in this transformational space. Chefs will enjoy a windowed open kitchen with views through to the park.
Sleep soundly in the serene primary suite where a new west-facing window is flanked by handsome bookcases with integrated lighting. Two spacious closets add convenience, while the windowed en suite bathroom boasts a large tub/shower, pedestal sink and classic tilework. The secondary bedroom suite enjoys courtyard outlooks, an en suite bathroom, a roomy closet, and custom built-ins, including a desk area, closet, and a convenient Murphy bed. California closet fittings throughout and a private storage cage in the building ensure storage will never be a concern in this Upper West Side sanctuary. Washer-dryer installation is allowed with co-op approval.
Designed in 1927 by the esteemed architect Emery Roth, 186 Riverside is a lovely neo-Renaissance apartment house featuring buff-colored brick trimmed with granite and terra-cotta. Residents of the pet-friendly cooperative enjoy a beautiful marble lobby, full-time doorman and live-in superintendent service, passenger and service elevators, a courtyard, a new fitness room, laundry facilities, resident storage, a bike room, daily doorstep mail delivery, and the privacy of just three apartments per vestibule. Pieds-à-terre are considered on a case-by-case basis.
From this superb location within the Riverside-West End Historic District, you're just inches from Riverside Park & ample gardens, bike paths, dog park, tennis courts, and the beloved Hippo Playground. Central Park is just four blocks west, and in between, you'll find phenomenal shopping and dining. Access to transportation is effortless with 1/2/3, B and C trains, excellent bus service and CitiBikes across the street.
