800 Riverside Drive 2E

Welcome to this bеautіfully рroрοrtіoned, light-fillеd rеѕіdenсe at the iconic Grinnell on Riverside Drive, where timeless pre-war character meets modern comfort in the heart of Upper Manhattan. Residence 2E is a gracious three-bedroom (convertible to four), two-bath corner home offering exceptional flow for both large-scale entertaining and everyday living. Far from cookie-cutter, this is a distinctive home rich in original detail and charm. A welcoming entry hall with a generous coat closet sets the tone. The expansive living room features open eastern exposures, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and a decorative fireplace. Originally two rooms, the former library has been opened to create an impressive space that easily accommodates multiple seating areas. French doors lead to a well-proportioned dining room, perfectly suited for hosting anything from intimate dinners to gatherings of sixteen. The windowed eat-in kitchen is thoughtfully designed with Caesarstone countertops, a breakfast bar, and stainless steel appliances. Just beyond is an oversized, windowed laundry room with a vented washer and dryer. Separate from the entertaining rooms, the bedroom wing offers a quiet retreat. The primary suite enjoys double exposures and abundant natural light, along with a custom-fitted walk-in closet and an en-suite bath featuring a dual-sink vanity, Toto toilet, and a walk-in shower with dual Hansgrohe rain shower heads. Two additional bedrooms provide excellent flexibility for guests, a home office, or den. The second bath is beautifully appointed with blue-grey Moroccan tile, a Duravit sink and vanity, Toto toilet, and a soaking tub with waterfall faucet and Hansgrohe rain shower. A rare offering that seamlessly blends scale, light, and character in one of Riverside Drive’s most sought-after buildings. Built in 1910, The Grinnell, a stately cooperative and designated Landmark, was designed in the Beaux-arts style by Schwartz & Gross. Often called “The Dakota of the North”, the triangular-shaped full-block apartment house boasts elegant barrel-vaulted entrances and a unique interior courtyard. Amenities include a live-in super, doorman, common roof terrace with spectacular views of the Hudson River and George Washington Bridge, private storage units, gym, and bike room. HDFC income restrictions apply but are very generous, allowing for employment income in excess of $750k for this unit. The crown jewel of the Audubon Park Historic District, 800 Riverside Drive is conveniently located near public transportation - just across the street from the #1 line - as well as the Hudson River Greenway and vibrant cultural, dining and recreational offerings of Audubon Terrace, upper Broadway, and the Washington Heights, Hamilton Heights and Sugar Hill neighborhoods. There is an assessment of $52.44 in place.
