A private elevator vestibule opens to the grand gallery with beautiful marble floors which is complimented by a powder room. Two oversized arched entryways lead to the impressive formal entertainment wing of the home consisting of an expansive living room and a formal dining room. The sun flooded living room has sprawling East River views, a wood burning fireplace, and immense wall space perfect for an art connoisseur. The living room directly opens to the west-facing formal dining room which has city views and lovely built-ins for fine china and silverware.
The 24' Eat-In kitchen is easily accessible through the dining room and off of the gallery. Features include a sizable dining area, a butters pantry with two large wine coolers, and a separate laundry room.
The private living quarters reside on the south side of the home. Off of a gallery are four generously sized bedrooms. The corner master bedroom with river and south views has an en suite bathroom and a substantial dressing room. The home continues with two large bedrooms with en suite baths and a fourth bedroom that is currently an exquisite library.
This sophisticated home boasts prewar detail throughout including hardwood floors, high ceilings, and oversized pane glass windows.
Situated on a cul de sac on East 52nd Street, The River House, is one of Manhattans most discrete and sought-after prewar, white glove cooperatives. Built in 1931 by renowned architects Bottomley, Wagner, & White, residents are welcomed to the Art Deco masterpiece through a cast iron gate to a landscaped cobblestone courtyard. There is a stunning riverfront lobby and a gorgeous interior garden. Also available to residents is membership at the adjacent River Club, with its extensive athletic and dining facilities including a swimming pool, squash and tennis courts, gym and golf simulator.
