440 Riverside Drive 9

Do not miss this beautiful Edwardian five-room home! Facing south toward a double-wide, tree-lined street, this oasis is flooded with wonderful light throughout the day. The owners meticulously and thoughtfully gut renovated the entire apartment preserving all of the prewar details including the extra-high baseboard mouldings, beautiful paneling and intricate ceiling details. The parquet floors and sub-floors were replaced, the walls have been totally skim-coated, and the bathroom was re-plumbed using high-end fixtures by Hansgrohe. The kitchen is a major highlight of this home, with beautiful cabinetry and Caesar stone counter tops, making it a great space to cook and entertain. The Paterno, a landmark building built in 1909, is one of the most remarkable structures on Riverside Drive with an incredible port-cochere and beautifully detailed lobby. Amenities include a full-time doorman, live-in super, central laundry, bike room, and a large storage unit that transfers with the apartment. In addition the building is planning a spectacular roof deck. Come enjoy this fantastic neighborhood, featuring Riverside Park with its tennis courts, bike paths and playgrounds, great restaurants, easy use of all forms of transportation, and the vibrancy of Columbia University.
