299 Riverside Drive   Unit 10A

With the sparkling waters of the Hudson River and the romantic city sunsets that one has the privilege of viewing from five oversized windows along the entire length of the living room, it's apparent why this vista inspired the imaginations of artists that studied in the Hudson River School of Painting.

Apartment 10A at 299 Riverside Drive began as a labor of love in 2000 when two spacious apartments were completely gutted and designed to create an exquisite home in the sky. The extensive renovation with thoughtful attention to quality and detail (visible and not) makes this a high-floor sanctuary perched on the beautiful western shore of Manhattan.

Entering the apartment through a large foyer and atrium, you're transported to an exquisite boutique hotel in 1930s Paris with artist Susanna Clausen's hand-painted walls of cherry red Venetian plaster paired with her interpretation of malachite. The Italian marble mosaic at the threshold invites you into a home of the world-unique and surprising at each turn.

The library and living room with two separate seating areas is bright and breathtaking; the windows seem almost transparent as you take in sights spanning the horizon from the New Jersey ports to the George Washington Bridge. Not to be outdone, the expertly-designed Don DiNovi open kitchen with granite countertops, paneled Sub-Zero and a six-burner Viking stove with dual ovens makes you feel like a master chef and bonds seamlessly with the dining room and den for perfect and flexible use of the space.

The eastern wing of the home accommodates the bedrooms and a five-star master spa with marble, mosaic tile and brass fixtures. Choose from a soak for two in the whirlpool tub with river views or a personal steam in the oversized shower with multiple showerheads and body sprays; you have earned and deserve customized relaxation.

The entire apartment is wired for sound and light with a Crestron premium entertainm
