Serenity on Riverside Drive This beautifully designed one-bedroom is a truly special Riverside Drive home in a premier pre-war cooperative. Every principal room looks into the building's exceptionally well-maintained garden, creating a peaceful escape filled with greenery, climbing vines, and views of neighboring historic architecture with handsome copper detailing. The gracious living and dining room features custom lighting, elegant sconces, floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving, and a wired speaker system. A built-in entry bench and thoughtfully designed storage throughout the apartment make everyday living remarkably easy. The charming, windowed kitchen has beautiful sage-green cabinetry, excellent storage, gas cooking, a dishwasher, and a generous sink overlooking the garden. Natural light and greenery make it an especially inviting place to cook. The serene bedroom enjoys garden views and an extraordinary wall of custom closets, offering the kind of storage rarely found in a Manhattan apartment.

With custom millwork, abundant storage, and carefully considered details in every room, this is a home that feels both beautifully designed and genuinely comfortable.
