Grand River View Corner Mansion
Architecturally stunning, this 32' corner mansion is one of only a handful of single-family homes on Riverside Drive, thus a RARE and incomparable offering. Perfectly positioned on one of the highest points on the Drive and directly across from Riverside Park, this luxurious residence offers spectacular River views. The immense scale of this 6-story home is showcased by its 32' width, 10,000 SF, high ceilings, massively-scaled rooms, grand rotundas, and remarkable light throughout. Magnificent architectural detail includes stunning original moldings, wainscoting, and elaborate mantelpieces. The broad use of light, space and angles in design with oversized windows, winding staircases, high ceilings and interior windows compounds the magnificent sense of scale. This historic townhouse was built at the end of the 19th century by the venerable Clarence True, who is credited with the design of at least 270 houses on the Upper West Side. Built in the Elizabethan Renaissance Revival style, it is consistent with True's elegance. Uniquely majestic in stature, the Roman brick facade presents a 4-story turret with decorated bay windows. Ideal as a one-of-a-kind single-family residence with elegant marble elevator, up to nine bedrooms, nine baths, six working fireplaces, a large outdoor circular terrace, and a double-tiered roof deck with an incomparable vantage point on the River. This stunning architectural masterpiece offers a rare dream opportunity unlike anything else in the city. *Call for complete layout description |
