404 Riverside Drive   Unit 8C

The Strathmore may be architecturally the most important residential building on Riverside Drive, and this rarely offered and beautifully restored and renovated line is the largest and most spectacular one-bedroom anywhere on the drive. All rooms including the kitchen and the bathroom are directly on the river from a perfect elevation, offering sun-flooded expansive views of Riverside Park, The Hudson River and the Palisades beyond. This home has been meticulously restored and beautifully renovated throughout. The dimensions are huge -- the living room measures 18 x 21ft and the bedroom measures 17 x 21ft (easily accommodates splitting off into small den/office and amble bedroom space). The pre-war details are fabulous, with 10 ft. ceilings, complex plasterwork moldings (including a honey-combed ceiling), and elaborately bordered parquet floors. There is a Miele washer/dryer in the apartment along with extensive closet space. Entry into the building immediately evokes a by-gone era and a fabled living style; you will enjoy unmatched elegance and ambiance in this most sought after address. The building is full service and located in the heart of the flourishing Columbia University neighborhood which offers a multitude of superb living experiences: unrivalled cultural and intellectual energy, numerous dining, shopping and entertainment venues, exciting new construction, four private schools and excellent transportation.
