Description

Gaze for miles up the Hudson River to the George Washington Bridge, the Palisades and beyond from the comfort of your renovated 3br home on the Upper West Side! This oversized 5-into-6 room apartment was renovated by the current owner to create a comfortable and cohesive 3-bedroom home. As you walk into this gracious home, you will be immediately taken by the enormous picture window in the living room, providing endless northwestern views over the Hudson River and uptown Manhattan. From bald eagles and hawks searching for food to the river's mesmerizing stillness, the view is both exhilarating and remarkably tranquil. The primary bedroom also offers this incredible exposure and features two large closets and an en suite renovated windowed marble bathroom. The second bedroom is very spacious and has an open eastern exposure providing excellent natural light all day long. The renovated second bathroom features tasteful marble tiles and a large bathtub. The oversized, windowed renovated kitchen, conveniently located off the dining and living room, is an oasis for any home chef. It features stainless steel appliances, a vented washer/dryer (which has recently been replaced), and abundant counter, pantry, cabinet and shelf space. 340 Riverside Drive is a lovingly maintained pre-war co-op on what is arguably the most beautiful corner of the Upper West Side – a very quiet double-wide street and extra wide sidewalk surrounded by glorious gilded mansions, stately townhomes and the sublime greenery of Riverside Park. Jasper Johns resided in the penthouse of this building for many years, and jazz greats Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington and Dizzy Gillespie were known to give intimate impromptu concerts here. Amenities include a 24/7 doorman, live-in super and full-time building maintenance staff. In addition to immediate access to Riverside Park, you are also just steps to the great restaurants, bars, boutiques and cultural establishments that make the Upper West Side one of the best places to live in the greatest city in the world.
