Note: certain photos are renderings. Gilded Age pedigree meets contemporary high design in this spectacular Riverside Drive townhouse. Steward a gem of the Gilded Age into the future. This estate, built by C. P. H. Gilbert in 1895 and once the residence of William Guggenheim, offers breathtaking proportions alongside its storied history. It has a 37-foot wide footprint, up to 24ft high ceilings, and open sky views. Starting in 2017, the former owners started an epic renovation, including adding an expansive 6,000sf, 3-floor entertaining space that rivals the amenities of a full-service luxury building. The design plans, created with an Italian architect, are complete and DOB and Landmarks approved. However, they may be modified to accommodate your vision. Plans include modernizing all 6 above-grade stories, including a 2,500sf two-story primary suite with two spa baths and a duplex closet, and a marble-clad chef's kitchen. Enjoy the park and river views from the roof deck and 4 additional terraces. Three Riverside Drive, erected in 1895, is one of the most important historic homes still standing on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. For a time, 3 Riverside Drive was the residence of William Guggenheim, an iconic New York magnate. This 37-foot wide, ornate limestone mansion was designed by C. P. H. Gilbert the same architect who produced many other NYC landmarks including the Warburg Mansion on 92nd & 5th (now the Jewish Museum), the Otto Kahn Mansion one block south on 5th, the Woolworth Mansion on 80th & 5th, the Seligman mansion on 56th St and many other mansions for the most prominent and wealthy business families in NYC in this era. Riverside Drive and the limestone mansions erected upon it at the turn of the last century, with their unrivaled views of Olmsted-designed Riverside Park and the Hudson River, was the West Side's answer to 5th Avenue. In this context, 3 Riverside Drive has epic proportions in each room with ceiling heights on its nine levels spanning from 10' to 24' high. The home has stunning views of Riverside Park, the Hudson River and open skies throughout. These unobstructed views are extraordinarily unusual for a townhouse in NYC most of which look across fairly narrow streets to other townhouses or buildings and accordingly have comparatively limited light. Purchased by the current owners in 2017, the house has been reimagined as a modern home on the inside with a historic outside fully preserved. Most unusually, the home has been designed with an unprecedented suite of amenities normally found in a large, full-service building including: a large swimming pool, partial basketball court, spa, gym, stadium seating movie theatre and game room. The house now stands ready for the next owner to carry out their own vision within this massive, already complete envelope. Italian-architect designed plans are fully DOB and Landmarks approved and completed, but may be modified to your own preferences. All engineering work is completed and fully designed and paid for. The house boasts 4 other terraces. This is quite simply no home in Manhattan with this extent of excavation, this historic pedigree, this ornate, limestone facade, these kinds of views and this width that can be found for sale more
