420 Riverside Drive   Unit 5E

This rarely available classic six at The Hamilton, a grand Pre-War building on Riverside Drive, is a truly special home with 2-bedrooms, 2-baths plus a maid's room. As you enter the apartment, you are greeted with a gracious entrance gallery which leads on the right to a south-facing sunny and warm Living Room, with a decorative fireplace and side views of Riverside Park and the river, and to the left to a grand wood-paneled formal Dining Room. The gracious layout has a private hallway leading from the foyer to the two bedrooms and bath. Leading off the dining room is the windowed kitchen, large enough to be eat-in and still provide an abundance of storage. The maid's room is off the kitchen and can be used as a bedroom or office; its renovated bathroom can easily house a washer/dryer. The high ceilings of 10' plus, the elegant hardwood oak floors with a mahogany inlay, the large picture windows, and handsome tall original wood French doors throughout, help make this home feel grand yet understated. All this, along with the astonishingly low maintenance, can be your dream home come true. The Hamilton, with its rich history and grand architecture, is a full-service, financially solid, pet-friendly cooperative with 24 hour doorman, a new gym, fabulous planted roof garden, children's playroom, storage, lending library, laundry facilities & FiOS. The Hamilton is located in a coveted and vibrant Upper West Side neighborhood , with Riverside Park right outside the door and Columbia University and wonderful shopping, gourmet markets, diverse restaurants, a variety of theatre & cultural venues, & public transportation only steps away.
