GRAND RIVERSIDE CLASSIC

A sprawling residence of timeless beauty, this twelve-room home combines restored architectural detail and soaring ceiling heights with sweeping Riverside Park frontage.

The private elevator landing in this magnificent second floor apartment has mirrored bronze doors that open to a sunlit fifteen foot entrance gallery. Off the gallery, mahogany French doors lead to the grand reception rooms - a formal dining room highlighted by curved architectural windows, herringbone hardwood floors and a twenty five foot living room with a decorative fireplace, dental & crown moldings and perfect tree line views West onto Riverside Park. For more intimate gatherings, the mahogany-paneled library and richly detailed study showcase inlaid wood floors, intricate millwork, and original beamed ceilings. The windowed chef's kitchen features granite countertops, Sub-Zero refrigeration, a six-burner Viking range, and Miele appliances.

The split layout of this spacious home is ideal with a two room primary suite with the bedroom facing Riverside Park. In the other wing, there are four well-appointed bedrooms, each with excellent storage and closets, and three full baths.

Prewar architectural features include approximately 10 foot ceilings, inlaid hardwood herringbone floors, curved windows, exquisite beams, moldings and baseboards, and a decorative fireplace. Additionally there is central air conditioning and art lighting.

258 Riverside Drive is a prewar cooperative originally designed in 1908 by William L. Rouse and developed by James T. Lee-the grandfather of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
