137 Riverside Dr APT 2A, New York, NY 10024

Apartment 2A is a beautiful, corner two bedroom, two-bath home positioned across from Riverside Park in one of the Upper West Side's best white glove buildings. The gracious layout showcases the flexibility of the apartment, as well as the pretty prewar details throughout. Lovely natural light streams in through oversized windows and a northern exposure in both the corner living room and den (or second bedroom), and the living room also benefits from eastern light. Views from both rooms overlook the pretty, tree-lined 86th Street block and offer an oblique view of the Park. Every room in the home is spacious with high ceilings and beautifully appointed with old-world details including hardwood floors, crown and baseboard moldings and a decorative fireplace in the living room. Modern comforts include renovated baths, top-line appliances and generous custom-fitted closets throughout. The formal expanse includes an extra-large corner living room and very spacious eat-in kitchen with plenty of room for formal dining in both. An extended entry gallery provides a fabulous flow for entertaining guests and displaying art. The fully outfitted eat-in kitchen features a large central island, plentiful cabinet storage, and granite counters. The space is equipped with top-line stainless appliances including a Northland refrigerator, Blue Star gas range oven, Bosch dishwasher and Dornbracht fixtures. Both bedrooms are oversized with renovated, windowed en-suite baths and plentiful storage. The corner primary suite is exceptionally quiet and private set off from the formal expanse by a custom barn door. The second bedroom is currently configured as a den-media room-study showcasing its flexibility and is equally functional as a guest suite with abundant custom built-in storage and renovated bath. The Clarendon, a twelve-story building is an elegant turn-of-the-century full-service cooperative with full-time doormen, a live-in resident manager, fitness room, storage, laundry and a bicycle room. Washers and dryers and central AC are allowed. The building recently completed several capital improvement projects including renovation of the elevators, hallways and common spaces.
