This duplex apartment, in excellent condition, is the seamless combination of two units joined by a stunning, museum-quality winding staircase that looks original to the home. The beautiful layout begins with a gracious, central entry foyer, from which the main rooms on the fifth floor radiate. The side-by-side living room and formal dining room make a grand space ideal for entertaining. Beautiful restored details abound from the curving bay windows in the living room with built-in window seat, decorative fireplace with glazed terracotta tiles, and ornamental dentil moldings framing the beamed ceilings. There is also an in-unit Washer/Dryer for your convenience.
The windowed kitchen features professional grade stainless steel appliances including a Viking range, Meile dishwasher and brand new KitchenAid refrigerator. A farm sink, charming original cabinetry, butcher block counters and open shelving create a functional kitchen workspace designed by a former chef. There is a windowed full bathroom on each floor, beautifully renovated with sparkling marble tiled floors, pedestal sink, and clawfoot tubs (with shower head). There is one large bedroom on this floor that could also be a great den, library or other multi-purpose space. It has an incredibly deep walk-in closet.
Up the stairs to the sixth floor (or alternatively, there is an entrance to the apartment on six as well), the same gracious foyer greets you and is the central point from which the three bedrooms and bathroom connect. The king-sized primary bedroom is generous enough for a seating area or work space and boasts an impressive custom, walk-in closet. Another very large bedroom features the same beautiful bay windows and charming window seat as on the fifth floor and easily accommodates additional furniture for a peaceful retreat away from the rest of the household. The fourth bedroom would also make an ideal home office, guest room, or nursery. All of the lighting fixtures throughout the home were carefully and lovingly chosen and most are valuable antiques. If you love them too, most can remain with the apartment.
194 Riverside Drive is an architecturally significant building built at the turn of the century by famed New York architect Ralph Townsend, in a Neo-Renaissance style. The bold curvaceous façade of the building stands out from the neighboring buildings, even from 190 Riverside Drive, also designed by Townsend, slightly later in 1910. 194 Riverside Drive’s commanding portal draws the eye with an elegant portico of smooth granite columns and two charming lion head relief sculptures flanking the front door.
This is a full service cooperative with 24-hour doorman, excellent live-in Superintendent, gorgeous landscaped roof deck showcasing breathtaking Hudson River sunsets, playroom, central laundry room, private storage cages and bike storage. 194 Riverside Drive benefits from its quiet location with Joan of Arc Park splitting Riverside Drive into two sections creating a cul-de-sac type of quality for the buildings that run on the quiet stretch from 91st to 95th Streets. Residents take full advantage of Riverside Park, Hippo Park, the easy access to local and express trains and buses, Symphony Space, plus the many wonderful neighborhood restaurants, bars, and shopping. Pets are welcome!
