About This Property
Enter a world of timeless Upper West Side elegance - where gracious living meets grand scale. A spacious gallery foyer unfolds beneath 9-foot coved ceilings, anchored by gleaming original herringbone parquet in rich walnut and framed by crisp picture-frame moldings. Straight ahead, elegant French doors open to the grand living room, where natural light and exceptional scale await.
The exceptionally large, sun-filled living room showcases impeccably preserved herringbone floors with classic border inlays, soaring coved ceilings, and two oversized black-framed windows that flood the space with natural light. Thoughtfully updated with a newly built custom closet, this gracious entertaining room offers classic Upper West Side outlooks and the scale rarely found in today's market.
Currently configured as two bedrooms, this approximately 1,600 sq ft home offers remarkable flexibility. The formal dining room can easily convert to a private 3rd bedroom or home office. The home's generous proportions and smart layout comfortably allow for the sought-after addition of a 2nd bathroom - a rare opportunity to add significant value.
Oversized Pass-Through Galley Kitchen with Service Entry A true rarity in prewar co-ops, this oversized pass-through galley kitchen delivers space, light, and functionality. Bright white cabinetry and classic blue counters frame a full-size stainless gas range, dishwasher, and the ultimate luxury - a full-size stacked washer and dryer inside the unit, vented to the exterior. With a private service entry directly from the elevator/stair hall, groceries and deliveries arrive straight into the kitchen without crossing formal living areas. At the far end, a dedicated pantry niche with full-height closet add versatile storage for a food pantry, broom closet, appliance garage, or coffee bar. With warm wood floors, abundant cabinetry, and room for a breakfast table, this kitchen offers move-in convenience plus tremendous renovation potential.
Designed in 1924 by renowned architect Gaetan Ajello, 395 Riverside Drive is a distinguished full-service co-op with an elegant limestone lobby, full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, and a pristine resident fitness center with TRUE cardio equipment, Concept2 rower, strength station, hardwood floors, and natural light.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
Straight ahead from the gallery foyer, French doors open into the living room, and the kitchen sits to the side through a pass-through, so the main rooms run in a line rather than around a hall. The apartment is listed with three bedrooms and is currently configured as two. The formal dining room can convert to a third bedroom or a home office, which gives you a choice about how the space is used.
The living room is the largest room in the apartment. It has two oversized black-framed windows and herringbone parquet with border inlays, and the listing notes a park view. The foyer has 9-foot coved ceilings, so the transition from the entry into the living room feels deliberate.
The pass-through galley kitchen has a private service entry from the elevator and stair hall, so groceries and deliveries can come straight in without crossing the living areas. It has a full-size stainless gas range and a dishwasher. The laundry is also in the kitchen area, with a stacked washer and dryer you can run without leaving the apartment, which I'd rank as the everyday convenience that matters most here. A pantry niche with a full-height closet at the far end gives you room for a food pantry or a coffee bar.
Riverside Park is about 1 minute on foot, and the Cathedral Pkwy (110 St) station on the 1 train is about 3 minutes away. Westside Market is about 3 minutes and Morton Williams about 5 minutes, so the kitchen's supply run is short.
395 Riverside Drive is a 15-story elevator cooperative with 114 units, designed by the architect Gaetan Ajello. The listing describes a full-time doorman and a live-in superintendent. Walk-in closets are in the apartment, and the building has a bike room and laundry in the building. Pets are allowed. It's worth seeing the service entry and the pantry niche in person, since the kitchen layout is easier to judge on foot.
