Nicely positioned high off the street on the parlor level, this beautiful and quiet 5-room corner home at The Clarendon blends the best of old-world scale and details with gorgeous features and modern comforts. The impressive scale is enhanced by 11' ceilings, spacious rooms, and oversized high quality, city quiet windows. Across the street from Riverside Park, the picturesque location is superb.
The gracious layout is wonderful for both entertaining and living with two bedrooms each with en-suite baths. Pretty prewar architectural elements include high ceilings, hardwood oak floors, pristine moldings, arched doorways, and an elegant decorative fireplace. High-end windows, fittings and finishes, solid wood doors, high-end brass doorknobs, and through-the-wall air conditioning are fabulous additions to the home. Entertaining is seamless with an extended entry gallery with dome ceiling, a bright and grand 21' corner living room with four windows and an oblique view of the Park, a formal dining room with artist-painted ceiling dome, and a windowed kitchen with top-line Miele and Bertazzoni appliances. Additional features of the kitchen include custom hardwood cabinetry and Venetian plaster walls.
Both bedrooms are spacious with the primary suite featuring a wall of custom closets, a linen closet, and marble bath. The second bedroom is currently configured as a library/den/media room with custom built-in entertainment center and built-in shelving, two additional closets, and a pretty, renovated en-suite bath with pedestal sink and beautiful tile flooring. There is access from the gallery, as well as a double door entrance to the living room.
137 Riverside Drive, also known as the Clarendon, is a twelve-story, elegant turn-of-the-century full-service cooperative. Amenities include full-time doormen, a live-in resident manager, fitness room, individual storage, laundry, and a bicycle room. Washers and dryers, central air conditioning, and pets are allowed.
The building was designed by the architectural firm of Charles E. Birge and completed in 1907. Located on one of the prettiest and most prominent Riverside blocks, it was home to William Randolph Hearst, who owned the entire building and occupied the 8th through 12th floors and a penthouse he built over the original roof.
