About This Property
MOVE IN THIS FALL
Situated in the crown of Robert A.M. Stern Architects' newest masterpiece and offering postcard-perfect views over Riverside Park, the Hudson River, the iconic spire of Riverside Church, and the Manhattan skyline, this home represents the pinnacle of living in Manhattan's smartest enclave. Spanning 2,764 square feet, this sprawling four-bedroom, four-bathroom residence with powder room is centered on a thirty-foot living and dining room, an open kitchen with extra-long island, and a 398 square foot terrace, all enjoying some of the city's most iconic views from three sunny exposures. Also facing west is a gracious primary bedroom suite with windowed five-fixture bath with deep soaking tub, and dual walk-in closets. Three additional bedrooms, all ensuite, complete this singular expression of the Claremont Hall lifestyle.
Displaying a refined finish palette hand-selected by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, all residences at Claremont Hall include a custom-designed solid wood entrance door with polished chrome hardware, wide plank European white oak flooring, expansive, high-performance windows, and up to 10' ceilings. Select residences feature generous bay picture windows and Gothic-inspired arched windows. Kitchens at Claremont Hall feature custom Italian cabinetry in soothing Classic Bianco or Modern Grigio lacquer, topped by Calacatta Laza quartz countertops and backed by a ceramic tile backsplash and a paneled appliance package from Bosch, with a custom range hood with integrated spice shelf. Paneled wine refrigerators are included in select residences.
Primary baths are finished with Arabescato Cervaiole marble and feature marble mosaic tile flooring and custom sconces in polished chrome. Each primary bath includes a RAMSA-designed Italian walnut vanity with Arabescato Cervaiole marble countertop, polished chrome fixtures by Kallista, custom designed mirrored medicine cabinet by Robern, and water closet fixtures by Toto.
Secondary baths are well appointed with marble mosaic tile flooring framed by Bianco Carrara border and ceramic tile surround, ceramic tile shower surround, custom vanities designed by RAMSA, Grigio Toscana marble countertops, and Kohler undermount sinks with polished chrome hardware from Purist by Kohler. Secondary baths also include oversized mirrored medicine cabinets with polished chrome frames by Robern, Kohler soaking tubs or showers with polished chrome Purist rain showerheads and hand-held sprayers by Kohler, and water closets by Toto.
Powder rooms offer five-inch-wide European white oak flooring with Gothic-inspired wainscoting, custom Italian vanities designed by RAMSA with Nero Marquina marble countertops, RAMSA-designed Central Park West Collection fixtures by Kallista, custom oversized mirrors by Robern, polished chrome sconces, and water closet fixtures by Toto.
Select homes feature private outdoor loggias or terraces. Each residence conveniently features a washer and dryer by Bosch.
Claremont Hall's robust amenities span over three floors and include spaces for socializing, working, and relaxing. The experience is centered on the Refectory Pool, a grand historic dining hall transformed into a swimming and events space, featuring a 48' salt-water swimming pool. Claremont Hall is complete with a grand, double-height lobby, a Reading Room with Great Books Collection, a Gymnasium with Flex Space, the Little Castle playroom, media room, and a Residents' Lounge and Terrace overlooking tranquil Sakura Park. The building also features a concierge, handyman, porters, and a live-in resident manager, as well as a bicycle room, and the opportunity to purchase on-site parking and private storage.
