Description
All rooms are graciously proportioned, harmonious and serene. Original details abound, with select oak herringbone floors, high ceilings (almost 10 feet), crown and picture moldings, French doors, and large windows. Light streams in from exposures to the south, east and north.
The primary bedroom is on the corner and has two exposures, with the partial river views, and an ensuite windowed bathroom. The second bedroom faces north. There is ample closet space throughout including a lovely large cedar closet. The windowed kitchen could be redesigned in several ways to provide an eat-in space and a washer/dryer (with board permission).
The alternate floor plan shows one way to redesign the space, but bring your architect to create your own chef’s delight. Built in 1926, 340 Riverside Drive has a full-time doorman, a resident manager, a bike room, a storage room with private cages for rent, and a central laundry. It has two recently renovated wood-paneled passenger elevators and a separate freight elevator.
The building anchors a landmark block (Duke Ellington Boulevard) on a double-wide street. Former building residents include Jasper Johns, Susan Sontag, and the legendary jazz writer Leonard Feathers; Billie Holiday performed here. The area is known for its openness and access to natural light.
