About This Property

Riverside vistas.

Elegant Classic 6 defined by light and scale.

This well-preserved home endowed with old world charm is scenically perched on the 12th floor of 285 Riverside Drive, a Rosario Candela masterpiece.

The entry opens into an expansive gallery running the length of the apartment, where you can display art, books and other treasures.

At the end of the gallery, you'll step into the gracious living room with park and river views - a harmonious space for relaxing, entertaining and simply enjoying life's pleasures.

The two king-sized primary bedrooms are located in a wing off of the entry gallery, and face north with river and park views. Both have en-suite baths, and extra- large closets.

The south facing windowed eat-in-cooks kitchen with both butler's pantry and additional pantry space is an ideal place for cooking, gathering and eating your meals. There is a vented washer dryer as well.

The formal dining room also faces south and can easily become a third bedroom or combination bedroom dining area.

The staff room has an ensuite bath as well and can serve as a third bedroom or utility room with full bath and washer dryer - the possibilities are open to your architect's imagination.
