Located on an elevated stretch of Riverside Drive with superior Hudson River and Riverside Park views, 334 Riverside Drive offers the rare opportunity to purchase a 25-foot wide, six-story French Beaux-Arts townhouse with an elevator.
Designed for presence and proportion, and positioned along one of the city's most scenic residential corridors, this landmarked home balances historic character with practical functionality and long-term value.
The property is currently configured with 7 residences, including an owner's penthouse duplex and six rental apartments, five of which are rent-stabilized.
Many units enjoy open park and river exposures, while several offer floor-through layouts and washer/dryers. A private yard and two terraces further enhance the building's potential for both owner-occupied living and elevated rental offerings.
Interior details include some original woodworking, high ceilings, and five mantle fireplaces which may be restored to working order. The brick and stone facade in very good condition. A separate service entrance provides operational access to the boiler and laundry rooms, supporting straightforward, efficient management.
Designed by Hoppin & Koen and completed in 1901-1902, 334 Riverside Drive was built as part of an architecturally significant trio, and in 1905 became the first New York home of the Nippon Club, founded by renowned biochemist Dr. Jkichi Takamine. The residence also counted Mercer Ellington among its notable occupants. These layers of history add depth and distinction to a home already defined by scale, location, and architecture.
Riverside Park's nearby amenities, which include a dog run, tennis and soccer courts, biking and running tracks, and seasonal outdoor dining, contribute to a daily rhythm that is active, green, and connected to the waterfront. Transit options include the 1, B, and C trains, plus M104 and M5 buses, making commutes and neighborhood access seamless.
