Perfectly positioned on the 18th floor at Emory Roth's Art Deco treasure, the Normandy, located on Riverside Drive between 86th and 87th Street, is perhaps one of the most charming homes in this 1939 treasure. Cinematic, open city views through all three exposures, grand scale rooms, a wood burning fireplace, and the ideal layout for large-scale entertaining and quiet living, this one-of-a-kind home is truly a magical oasis in the sky.

The moment you arrive in the entry hall of 18N- the captivating east facing city views draw you into the luxuriously proportioned corner living room that faces east and south. Sun-filled, with ample space for multiple seating areas, and a wood burning fireplace, this truly elegant room is enchanting, and serene.

The corner, 17 foot square formal dining room with open views east and north is the ideal space to host large dinner parties, and holiday gatherings. The windowed, eat-in kitchen with an open northern view will delight any chef with ample space to prepare elaborate meals on a professional, vented range. With room for a convenient banquette, this kitchen is the heart of this warm and cheerful home.

Two large bedrooms, the corner master at 20 feet long, and the second bedroom 18 feet long, are sun-filled, quiet, and offer dramatic open city views. The master suite features a lovely renovated bath with separate tub and step-in shower and two large closets. The second bedroom has delightful sunny southern views and two large closets including a generous walk-in for ample storage. The second bathroom services this bedroom and is conveniently located for guests as well.

Apartment 18N retains much of its original Deco charm and detail such as restored herringbone floors, solid doors with stripped brass and steel hardware and casement windows and provides the convenience and comfort of through-wall air conditioning and even a washer/dryer.

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 and across the street from Riverside Park. 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.
