299 Riverside Drive   Unit 8C

Mint Renovated Two Bedroom with Hudson River Views
Apartment 8C is in beautiful condition, having been recently, thoroughly and elegantly renovated. This gracious and sunny pre-war apartment features Hudson River views--with exposures to the northwest, southwest and southeast.
One enters this apartment via a foyer which opens immediately onto the living and dining room--and an adjoining open, windowed, eat-in kitchen. While currently furnished predominantly as a dining area, the living / dining room is amply-sized to accommodate a comfortable seating arrangement, as well as a dining table. The apartment's chic adjacent kitchen includes a Thermador stove and dishwasher, a Frigidaire refrigerator, custom cabinetry, a breakfast bar--and porcelain-tile flooring. A slice of the river is on display in both the kitchen and living room--which face southwest and northwest, respectively.
Currently used as a library and guest room, the second bedroom boasts double exposures, with river views on display from the northwestern window. The current owner renovated this room to include double pocket doors, in addition to a wall of built-ins which incorporates a bar area, wine refrigerator, media storage, shelving and a location for a flat-screen television. The primary bedroom is also a corner room, and includes two handsome built-in closets and a desk area. The bathroom was completely renovated with a fresh mix of modern and traditional elements, including a penny-tile floor, subway tile half-walls, a marble-topped white wood vanity with under-sink storage, a recessed medicine cabinet, and a glass-enclosed shower with body jets--as well as both rain and hand-held shower heads.
Additional features of this apartment include: five custom closets (including one large walk-in), hardwood floors--and built-in shelving in the coat closet vestibule. While Apartment 8C is not currently equipped with a washer / dryer, they are permitted in the building with approval by the cooperative board.

Located on the southeastern corner of West 102nd Street and Riverside Drive, the facade features a three-story rusticated limestone base, capped with a large copper cornice; a canopied entrance leads to a handsome marble lobby.

Additional building amenities include a bike room, 4' x 4' storage units for rent, and a planted and outfitted charming common garden.
