Perfectly positioned contemporary studio in an elegant prewar building on the Upper West Side's Riverside Drive. The spacious living area features high-beamed ceilings and solid oak flooring as well as a walk-in closet large enough to serve either as a home office or as an ample storage space. Another deep closet, through-wall heat and air conditioning and an open city view enhance the livability of the space.
The separate, windowed kitchen features sleek European cabinetry, full-sized refrigerator, Miele wall oven and gas cooktop, Fisher and Paykel dishwasher and quartz countertop with deep, undermount sink. Clad in Italian Carrara marble, the bathroom features a full-sized tub, heated floors, Kohler fixtures and Watermark hardware.
Designed by architect Charles Harris Lench in 1931 in the Medieval Revival style, 230 Riverside Drive is a landmarked building with a classic Art Deco lobby, a splendid, landscaped courtyard, a well-appointed gym and a resident's lounge overlooking the courtyard, a large laundry room, bicycle storage, a live-in superintendent and full-time door staff.
Adjacent to Riverside Park and the Hudson River Greenway, 230 Riverside Drive is two blocks from the 1, 2 and 3 subway trains and the crosstown bus at Broadway and 96th Street, five blocks from Central Park, near New York Sports Club and Equinox and an easy commute to Columbia University. Gourmet and organic groceries can be found at nearby Westside Market, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and the Friday Greenmarket at 97th Street. Neighborhood cafes and restaurants include Green Lane Coffee, Charlotte Cafe, Chick Chick, Dagon, Naruto Ramen and Barney Greengrass.
