315 Riverside Drive, #11D, New York, (Upper West Side), NY, 10025

Brilliant Hudson views fill the major rooms of one of the most appealing 3BR residences on the Upper Westside. The apartment, in superb condition, faces the river directly from the 11th floor of 315 RSD, designed with panache by Boak and Paris, Emery Roth's foremost disciples.

A 25 foot gallery leads to a splendid 24 foot living room and separate dining area. The comprehensive chef's eat-in kitchen adjacent to entertainment space stretches for 22 feet. The owner, a serious cook, outfitted the kitchen with a Wolf 36 inch gas cooktop, 26 inch Braun range hood, American Range commercial wall oven, Liebherr 36 inch fridge, custom maple cabinetry, Perla Vernata quartzite counters, custom tile floors and carefully designed lighting. There is a washer dryer hookup.

In a separate wing resides a splendid primary bedroom, with bath ensuite, overlooking the river. Sunny eastern city views regale the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms. The master bath contains charming, original deco tile with a maritime motif while the full hall bath has been delectably reimagined in an exquisite, minimalist style featuring Calacatta Oliva tile. A striking contemporary ensuite bath serves the 3rd bedroom.

High ceilings, lovely herring-bone, white oak floors, large new double and triple glazed windows, myriad closets with Elfa designed interiors and elegant period detail add to the ambiance of this spectacular residence.

315 Riverside was designed in 1930 by architects Boak and Paris using Emory Roth's aesthetic as a springboard to a "modern interpretation of classic forms." Their well-conceived floor plan for Apartment 11D provides an excellent separation of rooms which are among the largest found in a classic five on the Upper Westside. You don't need lights since the apartment is illuminated by the radiant Hudson river and eastern city outlooks.

The building is exceptionally well managed by a conscientious Board, seasoned resident manager and veteran staff. Amenities include a glorious roof terrace, 24 hour doormen, bike and bin storage when available, ample laundry room and a stellar location on a lovely block proximate to every type of service, transportation and the idylls of Riverside Park.

Landmark designation was awarded to the immediate area which contains a row of magnificent fin de siecle residences named the Seven Beauties and a grand, stand-alone mansion with its own moat. Writer D. J. Wakin whose latest book details the history of the neighborhood proclaims, "Being there conveyed a sense of arriving."
