STRETCH OUT ELEGANTLYROOM FOR ALL OF YOUR GROWING NEEDSIn the early 1920's, a prominent developer named Harry Schiff envisioned a grand residential masterpiece that would gently curve along a graceful bend along Riverside Park -- a formidable building that would crown the highest point on the leafy and coveted Riverside Drive. With the expertise of the prolific architectural duo of Schwartz & Gross, Schiff's Colonial Revival dream building welcomed residents in 1922, and quickly became an iconic addition to the burgeoning area. This rarely available, over-scaled home is a beautiful testament to Schiff's grand vision -- a graciously flowing residence with high ceilings, cove moldings, extra high windows, lovely oak floors, and an ideal mix of original detail and au courant elegance -- all in a prime address with a refined level of service -- a fine building widely regarded as one of Manhattan's most respected cooperatives. From this re-imagined and renovated home's semi-private landing and grand, welcoming foyer/gallery, to its big bonus den; from its large, side-by-side living and dining rooms (perfectly scaled and positioned for both large parties and intimate gatherings), to its practical and pretty, renovated, open, windowed, eat-in kitchen with dining bar (well appointed and planned for a cook); from its bonus office area to its expanded, bonus 3rd bedroom (with en suite windowed bath - ideal for expansion); from its other two big, comfortably-scaled, flexible bedrooms (both with renovated, marble, windowed, en suite baths), to the ample custom closet space throughout (and washer/dryer); and from the graceful hallway that sweetly divides the entertaining rooms from the bedroom wing, to the quiet exposures throughout, this easy-to-live and easy-to-love residence is at once impressive and comfortable. Graced by a stellar location - perfectly prime to all area cultural, dining, and shopping destinations - and well attended by a stupendous 24-hour staff and resident manager, this is the fresh, park-side home for which you've been searching. Sweetly nestled in its top-tier building offering storage, bike, laundry, play room, and impressive in-house gym, this sprawling, feel-good beauty stands out for all the right reasons. In 1922, Harry Schiff had a dream. Today, his timeless vision - refreshed and renovated -- is ready for you.
