Nestled in the heart of the Upper West Side, Apartment 16A at 52 Riverside Drive boasts a harmonious blend of contemporary luxury and timeless prewar elegance. This classic seven-room residence, situated on the 16th floor affords its inhabitants daily theatrical sunset displays over serene Riverside Park and the Hudson River. A paradigm of modern refinement, the apartment has been meticulously renovated to mint condition. The grand scale of this home is immediately apparent upon entering where you are greeted with the gracious foyer clad in handsome marble. The marriage of expansive living and dining rooms epitomizes an open-concept floor plan, designed for contemporary lifestyles while preserving the charming, sophisticated prewar details that imbue the space with character. This great room measures over 16 feet wide by 41 feet long feet with a fireplace encased in an intricate period mantle framing the living area. There are 3 oversized tilt-and-turn windows soaring over the river. The dining area boasts an enormous eastern-facing window for the morning sun. Culinary enthusiasts will revel in the windowed, eat-in kitchen that could rival any suburban counterpart in scale. Custom shaker cabinetry, a lustrous combination of pure white Caesarstone and rich marble counters accented by a beautiful mosaic backsplash, and a suite of high-end appliances, including a six-burner Wolf range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine cooler, and an Asko dishwasher, make for an epicurean’s delight. The built-in banquette and table invite communal dining, complemented by southern windows that frame the open sky. The laundry room with a jumbo-sized, vented washer and dryer is perfectly located off the kitchen. Beyond the elegance and expanse of the living area, the residence features three generously proportioned bedrooms and two full, exquisitely appointed bathrooms. The living room and two of the bedrooms offer a front-row seat to sweeping vistas of the river, ensuring a constant connection to the natural beauty that Manhattan has to offer. The grand primary suite is the epitome of serenity with a quiet corner feeling and exquisite views of the Hudson from every angle. Storage is abundant with two fully outfitted walk-in closets. The en-suite bath features heated stone floors in an eye-catching herringbone pattern, floor-to-ceiling marble, a large rain shower, and a western-facing window with dreamy river views. Adjacent to the primary suite sits a cleverly created alcove for the perfect home office. The two guest bedrooms are generous in size and share a renovated guest bath featuring gleaming marble floors and walls, a custom vanity, a deep Victoria & Albert soaking tub, and a separate rain shower. The finest chrome fixtures complete this spa-like windowed bath. Additional features of this luxurious residence include tall-beamed ceilings, perfectly restored pre-war details, wide plank wood floors, oversized windows in every room, motorized blinds, and central AC for your comfort. 52 Riverside Drive itself is a bastion of exclusivity and refinement, with a full-time doorman, a live-in resident manager, a bike room, and additional storage facilities enhancing the living experience. The cooperative’s architectural pedigree is evident, fostering a sense of community and luxury. The location could not be more ideal—directly across from Riverside Park which opens the door to tranquility and recreation, while the proximity to the Upper West Side's most coveted amenities, including premier schools, sophisticated shopping, gourmet markets, quaint cafés, and the subway, anchors residents in the vibrant pulse of the city.
