Property Description

Outstanding vistas of sky, steeples, & river views (and oh so quiet), this truly rare gut renovated Emery Roth classic six room apartment on Riverside Drive is a magnificent home. Both living room and dining room are on a grand scale with multiple over-sized windows, wide open views, and brilliant light streaming onto the oak parquet floors. Between them a French door leads to the bedrooms, where the enormous corner master bedroom makes a lovely refuge with its double Eastern and Northern exposures, gorgeous gut renovated Italian tile en-suite bath, and two enormous walk-in closets. The second bedroom is similarly large with its own en-suite bath. More pleasures await in the gut renovated windowed eat-in kitchen, stainless steel appliances and large washer and vented dryer included as well as beautiful Italian Murano tile and the adjoining third bedroom ( includes the 3rd bathroom). Beamed ceilings over nine feet, four enormous walk-in closets plus two more closets, rich oak hardwood floors and fine details make this wonderfully warm home. With great light and wonderful views (including a side view of the river from three rooms) this is a rare property that will not last long.Located across the street from the most inviting entrance to Riverside Park (and Hippo Playground), 186 Riverside Drive is a coveted and prestigious full service residence with 24-hour doormen, a sprawling and elegant marble lobby, topnotch staff, central laundry, bike room, and storage. Designed by architect Emery Roth, 186 Riverside Drive is famous for its inventive layouts, massive closets, and picture windows. Mr. Roth "designed many of the definitive New York City hotels and apartment buildings of the 1920s and 1930s, incorporating Beaux-Arts and Art Deco details." He is known for the "picture window" included in his designs and for light and airy apartments with views from most rooms.
