SOHO BY RIVERSIDE PARK SURPRISING DOWNTOWN UPTOWN ARTFUL "LOFT" BIG & RARE: ~39 FT WIDE RUN OF SOUTH-FACING SUN-KISSED BLISS How does a super prime location by Riverside Park — on uber-convenient West 72nd Street — have such a residential secret like this one? How does a somewhat predictable pre-war area suddenly have amongst its offerings this rare, soul-stirring, low-key lofty home? How is a downtown-feeling home like this quietly perched right here in the middle of it all? Just when you thought you could not be surprised... Proudly perched just atop the tree-line, this Schwartz & Gr0ss 1924 space has been re-imagined and renovated. The heart-warming period detail and beamed ceilings are intact, but the design and layout have a new sensibility — a voluminous vibe and plan that make sense for today. Here, hidden in plain sight, is a 21st Century, mindfully designed, understated loft that stretches widely (nearly 40') along the bright and wide street below. Soul-stirring and quite special, this bright, dramatic home offers cityscape views and enthralling Southern light. Eight windows wide, this is a home for anyone who wants be off the radar, yet in the middle of it all. Here, is an inspiring, dramatic home that gives a stretch-out, grand intimacy in a not-boring fashion. Bliss. Enter the foyer and flow easily to the big, open living dining space. Big entertaining and intimate moments both happen organically here. Served by a big, practical and attractive, windowed kitchen (with top-shelf appliances by Wolf and Bosch), life here is easy and fun. Two sizable primary bedroom suites grace both sides of the lofted great room, providing a peaceful and gracious plan that works beautifully. Both of these bedrooms offer en-suite, windowed baths with a simple yet superlative design (Hansgrohe fixtures & Porcelanosa tiles). Both baths are dual entry, giving guests easy access without having to enter bedrooms. A bonus third bedroom is the ultimate gift: This flex space makes for a sweet guest space, den, or office — an ideal room for all of your growing needs. Underfoot are handsome hardwood floors, above you ceilings are high, and all around there is light and loveliness. Closets and storage are ample, laundry is in the building, the super is live-in, there are bike and storage rooms, and nearby are the area's most convenient offerings. Riverside Park is practically next door, Trader Joe's is up the street (+ Fairway, Citarella & HMart), the 1/2/3 and B/C trains are close, so is Central Park, as are the Upper Westside's best dining, shopping, cultural, entertainment and fitness destinations. Think you've seen it all on the Upper West? Think again. Welcome to SoHo by Riverside Park.
