A truly exceptional riverfront residence. Breathtaking Hudson River views and a prime location directly across from Riverside Park define this sun-filled mint condition 9 room residence on Riverside Drive. Thoughtfully renovated to balance modern luxury with classic prewar charm, the residence offers an extraordinary sense of scale, light, and flow. With over 100 feet of Riverside Drive frontage, the home also enjoys sweeping northern views from the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ monument to the George Washington Bridge. A gracious entry foyer with custom storage and a full bath opens to a beautifully planned layout that separates formal entertaining spaces from private living quarters, all connected by an extended gallery hallway with custom built-ins and abundant storage. The formal entertaining spaces include a magnificent corner living room with four large River-facing windows, a formal dining room, and a spacious den or media room enclosed with a transparent wall to maximize light. This versatile room can easily function as an additional bedroom. The grand and stunning eat-in chef’s kitchen is fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch double wall ovens, a five-burner Wolf gas cooktop, built-in Thermador microwave, Miele dishwasher and warming drawer, and a Franke sink with garbage disposal. A butler’s pantry just off the kitchen features a Sub-Zero wine refrigerator and a large coat closet. The primary suite is beautifully positioned along the River and enjoys three large west-facing picture windows. It features three custom closets, bespoke built-in window storage, and a luxurious primary bath with double vanity, abundant storage, a walk-in spa shower, Waterworks fixtures, and radiant heated floors. Just outside the primary suite, two additional walk-in closets line the gallery, offering exceptional storage. Along the River-facing wing is a large study outfitted with custom mahogany built-ins and desk, as well as an additional custom walk-in closet, and a separate bedroom suite which features built-in double desks and is complemented by an adjacent den, offering flexible use as a media room, office, or guest space, with a full bath. A fourth bedroom with its own second entrance is quietly positioned off the gallery and is served by an adjacent full bath and a private home office or study, providing excellent separation and privacy. Modern comforts throughout the home include both central and through-wall air conditioning, a laundry closet with Miele washer and dryer, built-in speaker system and over-sized tilt and turn picture windows. Timeless prewar details remain intact, including decorative moldings and trim, hardwood floors, French doors and a decorative fireplace with marble hearth. The Clarendon is a distinguished twelve-story turn-of-the-century white glove prewar cooperative offering full service amenities including a full time doorman, live-in resident manager, fitness room, laundry room, bicycle room and private storage. Ideally located on one of Riverside Drive’s most beautiful and prominent blocks, the building has notable provenance and was formerly owned and occupied by William Randolph Hearst, whose residence spanned multiple floors, including this apartment.
