Heartstopping Apartment

Fabulous 4,000+ sqft apartment with approximate 10' ceilings and exciting river views in one of New York's top cooperatives. This 9 into 7 room apartment is in excellent condition with an immense living room opening to a designer quality formal dining room, providing a spectacular 56' sweep of entertaining space.

The kitchen is light-filled, enormous, and fabulously renovated. It overlooks the building's handsome tree-lined porte cochere. Currently used as a two bedroom with a luxurious bay-windowed corner office, the office can easily translate to an enormous third bedroom. Each bedroom has an en suite bath. Additionally, there is a powder room off of the gallery. A fourth bathroom has been converted to a large laundry room. With its impeccable condition and forever East River views, 4B is a special home and unique offering.

River House is one of New York's most prestigious and highly serviced cooperatives. It offers every comfort one might wish in a building committed to the highest level of service and care. Built as a cooperative in 1931 on a cul de sac, one enters through grand entrance gates to a private planted cobblestone courtyard and automobile turnaround which takes one to the building's front entrance and lobby where the building's staff is ready to be of assistance. The lobby opens onto a formal garden with fountain and a view of the East River beyond. There is a lower garden with a large open lawn where residents can relax, and children can play. The building offers a tranquil setting in a busy city.

River House residents are welcome to membership in the River Club. The club is located in the base of the building and can be accessed through River House. The club has a library, dining room and bar, ballroom, guest bedrooms, squash and tennis courts, swimming pool, library, golf simulators and fitness center. It can also provide food service at certain times to an apartment.
