Located in the coveted Normandy at 86th & Riverside Drive, Apartment #15K is a stunning, sun-filled and beautifully gut-renovated three-bedroom, two-bathroom riverfront home that captivates immediately with its panoramic open Hudson River views; one of the most iconic vantage points in the city with extraordinary sunsets at day's end. Perched on a high floor, there is natural light throughout the apartment along with two exposures offering both cross-light and air in both directions.
As you enter into the foyer, you can admire the restored, original herringbone floors, prewar details and coat closet. Off the foyer is the windowed chef's kitchen complete with custom millwork and marble countertops, Wolf range, Subzero fridge, and washer/dryer closet tucked within the grey Shaker cabinetry. From the farmhouse sink, gaze through a generous pass-thru over the bar-like countertop into the dining room, featuring original trim and chair rail. A "secret closet" built behind the southern wall of the room can house linens, wine and more.
As you continue through the apartment you will enter the gracious living room and be immediately struck by the sweeping views of the Hudson River and the tree tops of Riverside Park framed by new double-paned windows (featured throughout the apartment). Built-in bookshelves line the southern wall and frame a handsome fireplace housing a Hearth cabinet - the only ventless, no gas, no electric fireplace allowed in New York City. The bespoke marble work and mantel frame adorn this cozy spot to enjoy fires in the winter overlooking the magnificent Hudson.
A separate foyer leads to the 3 generously-sized bedrooms (all with California Closets) and includes a linen closet. Facing the river is the primary bedroom with an oversized walk-in closet. The primary bath is custom-designed with stunning marble slabs throughout, including a spa tub and rain shower. The second bedroom holds a beautifully-renovated ensuite bathroom and two large closets. The third bedroom features distinctive curved windows facing East and two closets.
This home was gut-renovated in 2018 with great attention to detail and luxury finishes. Every room features custom finishes, including the window shades and vented millwork covering the hidden, thru-wall A/C units and radiators. From the marble countertops and Watermark fixtures to exquisitely maintained original details throughout, this home features everything you'd hope for in a prewar home with modern touches for your every need.
