173-175 RIVERSIDE Drive 9N

Apartment 9N at 173 Rivеrsіde Drіve іѕ а sun-filled and grаnd thrее‐bedrοom, three full bathroom home in the heart of the Upper West Side directly across from Riverside Park. Featuring a unique "un-classic" six-room layout, this is a true three-bedroom residence with exceptional scale and flow. Elegant prewar design is beautifully accentuated by high ceilings, oversized windows, and abundant natural light streaming throughout the home. From this high floor, both the living room and two of the bedroom suites enjoy open south-facing city views over landmarked brownstones along with an oblique view of the Hudson River. Wonderful old-world architectural details have been beautifully preserved throughout, including hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, pristine crown and baseboard moldings, and original bathrooms with pedestal sinks. The apartment's impressive prewar scale is further enhanced by the expansive loft-like entertaining spaces, oversized rooms, soaring ceilings, and brilliant natural light throughout.

The gracious layout features an expansive open loft-style living room and formal dining room spanning over 33 feet, creating an exceptional setting for both large-scale entertaining and comfortable everyday living. Extraordinary natural light and open city views elevate the formal entertaining expanse, while the dining area easily accommodates large dinner parties. A generously sized foyer coat closet provides excellent storage, including ample room for bulky winter outerwear.
Just off the formal dining room, the oversized windowed eat-in kitchen offers tremendous space and flexibility for customization. The kitchen features a huge walk-in pantry closet as well as a spacious windowed breakfast area.
There is wonderful separation between the formal entertaining spaces and the private bedroom wing, which features two sunny and oversized bedroom suites connected by a large hallway with a linen closet. Both bedrooms offer en-suite bathrooms, extra-large closets, oversized windows, fabulous natural light throughout the day, and open city views. The en-suite bathroom in the second bedroom also includes a second entrance from the hallway, providing convenient access for guests.

The third bedroom is privately situated on the opposite side of the apartment alongside a full windowed bathroom, creating an ideal space for guests, a home office, or a true third full-size bedroom suite.
This bright and expansive prewar home, located in a superb Riverside Drive building and location, has been lovingly maintained by the same owner for several decades and offers a rare opportunity to either move right in or customize to suit your personal vision.
