Mesmerizing river and park views will enchant you from this sophisticated, perfectly renovated home ideally positioned on the 18th floor of the legendary Normandy, a 1938 Art-Deco treasure designed by iconic architect Emery Roth.

Upon entry, a discreet vestibule leads to the most dramatic of arrivals- a 14 foot diameter, circular formal dining foyer- the ideal space to welcome guests and to entertain. Directly ahead, to the west, is the extraordinary 24 foot living room floating above the river showcased via a wall of casement-style windows. To the north, accessed by a solid glass French door, is the dazzling private terrace- like the prow of a ship- with forever views of the river, park, city lights, and even the George Washington Bridge in the distance. Also accessed off the living room through French doors is the corner guest room, or study, featuring lovely views and handsome custom millwork.

The classic, timelessly renovated windowed kitchen features floor to ceiling subway tile, glass-front solid wood, white lacquered cabinetry, stainless steel counters, Wolf range, Sub-Zero fridge and even an under counter Bosch washer/dryer. For guests, a powder room is conveniently located off the dining foyer, which completes the public space of this singular home.

The luxurious master suite is comprised of a king-sized bedroom with westerly river views, a custom-fitted generous closet, and an indulgent master bathroom with stall shower, pedestal sink, and a deep soaking tub paneled in silvered subway tile.

Apartment 18G at the Normandy has just undergone a top-to-bottom first-class renovation ingeniously designed by architect Neal Stufano of NJ Caine Associates that included replacing all original windows with double-pane casements, refinished and restored solid oak herringbone floors and deco-era plasterwork, the installation of through wall air-conditioning, all executed with the finest materials and craftsmanship available today.

140 Riverside Drive is one of the premiere full-service co-operatives on Riverside Drive. Spanning the full block from 86th to 87th Street, evocative of the grand sailing ships of the 20's and 30's, it is perhaps the most distinctive address along the Hudson. Residents at the Normandy enjoy the security of full time doormen and concierge, bike and personal storage, children's playroom and fitness room, conveniently located two blocks from the 1 train, close to shopping, dining and top schools.
