Welcome to one of the most exquisite homes in one of New York's most prestigious buildings. From every room, you'll be treated to breathtaking views, while the impeccable renovation by renowned designer Victoria Hagan ensures elegance and sophistication throughout. This stunning duplex is located on the 16th and 17th floors of the building, granting it a truly special position. As you step off the semi-private elevator landing, you'll find yourself on the 16th floor, greeted by a breathtaking living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace. Adjacent to it is a formal dining room, creating an ideal space for entertaining. Connecting these rooms to the large eat-in kitchen is a hallway that holds a unique powder room. From the dining room and kitchen, you can easily access a large roof terrace that can comfortably accommodate up to 30 people, perfect for hosting unforgettable gatherings. What truly sets this home apart are its high ceilings and original architectural details, which have been beautifully preserved and integrated into the space. Ascend the noteworthy staircase to the apartment's second floor, where you'll find an oversized master bedroom and two additional bedrooms, each boasting its own en suite bathroom. One of these bedrooms has been transformed into a wood-paneled library, adding a touch of refinement to the residence. River House, built in 1931 as a cooperative, is nestled on a cul-de-sac. As you enter through the wrought-iron entrance gate, you'll be greeted by a private courtyard filled with lush greenery. Owners have the privilege of driving directly to the front entrance, adding a sense of exclusivity to this extraordinary residence. NOTE: there is a 3% flip tax payable by buyer. Financing: 50%.
