140 Riverside Drive #2F

Every window of this beautiful home in the historic Emery Roth Art Deco 1939 masterpiece the Normandy offers an enchanting view: the kitchen, living room, and library face the changing seasons of Riverside Park-and the master bedroom suite overlooks the serene Normandy private garden.

A graciously proportioned dining foyer instantly welcomes you home. A beautifully scaled great room is ideal for large scale entertaining or quiet enjoyment overlooking your front row seat to all four seasons of enchanting Riverside Park. In the winter months, ships glide past your windows framed by the stunning silhouette of mature trees, and in the spring, summer and fall, the most beautiful city fall foliage is a stunning Impressionist canvas.

The chef's kitchen features classic, timeless white subway tile, and period appropriate mosaic tile floors, marble and butcher block counters and new stainless steel appliances including a new Sub Zero fridge, glass front display cabinets- and the rarest of all: a large window to your own riverfront park. The deep and wide living room is spacious, and fresh air, view, and light filled and may be configured numerous ways to suit multiple seating and dining arrangements.

The Park facing library, or secondary bedroom was smartly opened to the grand living room with French doors to create a seamless, light and view-filled expanse providing the perfect layout to maximize functionality. The guest bathroom is located off the bedroom hall and features exquisitely restored Art Deco tilework, original stainless steel and glass standing shower, deep, porcelain tub, and pedestal sink.

The king sized, master bedroom, with pristine, windowed en-suite bath floats over the rarely seen private landscaped garden of the Normandy. Morning eastern light filters through its casement windows of this serene, tranquil sanctuary.

This singular, beloved home features five walk-in closets, high ceilings, handsomely restored Emery Roth casement windows and glowing herringbone floors throughout. For year-round comfort- there is a three zone central air conditioning system- extremely rare in pre-war apartments.
