UPGRADED GARDEN FACER: BIRDSONG & TREETOPS BRIGHT, QUIET & FLEXIBLE SURPRISE BY RIVERSIDE PARK In 1926, the renowned master architect James E.R. Carpenter created what is now one of New York’s most treasured buildings: 173-175 Riverside – a formidable, handsome beauty with grand proportions and a supreme perch upon what the New York Landmarks Commission refers to as the most influential and architecturally important areas of the Upper West Side. This stretch-out, flexible residence is testament to Carpenter’s timeless vision – an important, inspiring, upgraded, garden-facing, corner classic. A wide, twenty-feet deep entry gallery welcomes you into this rare residence. It brings you to the large living room, graced by two South facing windows and big enough for multiple seating spaces and a dining area. The garden-facing primary bedroom suite is a corner abode with two exposures (cross breezes, anyone?) and ample closet space, served by a classic, re-done, windowed bath with original cast iron soaking tub. The overscaled dining room faces the garden, too, and can easily be reimagined to create a comfortable second bedroom suite. The custom, windowed, eat-in kitchen -- with its top shelf appliances (Bosch and Subzero), its handsome stone counters, and its ample cabinets/storage space -- is a cook's delight. Large, versatile, and lovely, this one-of-a-kind, designer kitchen faces the garden treeline, and is perfect for all of your culinary pursuits. Throughout this easy-to-love home, there is a good feeling – a feeling anchored in the classic comfort that comes with time. The closets are plentiful and immense. Underfoot are beautiful original hardwood floors, and soaring above are high ceilings with original plasterwork. Everywhere you look there is soul and beauty – and flexible functionality. Here is a seasoned residence with mindful upgrades that make it forever relevant and perfectly practical. Sweetly positioned in its stunning, historic building, this home enjoys the benefits of its full-service address. With a top tier staff that includes round-the-clock doormen, a resident superintendent, laundry/bike/storage rooms, a premium fitness center, and a playroom, life here is easy and convenient. Nearby is most every area cultural, educational, dining, and shopping destination, supreme access to Riverside Park, easy access to playgrounds, transportation, and more. Life here is easy, good, and fun. In 1926, James E.R. Carpenter envisioned grand beauty and grace perched dramatically by Riverside Park. Today, that classic beauty and grace are right here waiting for you. (Washer/Dryers, Guarantors, Gifting and 50% financing are permitted – 2% flip tax paid by buyer)
