Sun-filled, south facing and elegant, Apartment 8C is a triple mint, never lived in, grand-scaled 6-room prewar home located in the heart of the Upper West Side.  A full gut renovation was just completed. Every square inch of the 3-bedroom, 3-bath home was custom-designed combining modern amenities and style with elegant detail and scale. The open-loft-like layout separates formal expanse of the living room, dining room and open kitchen from the residence wing. This exquisite home was designed by top Manhattan residential design firm, Kinlin Rutherford Architects who are known for quiet, understated yet very elegant interiors.The grand scale of the home is enhanced by the exceptional southern light, 9.6 high-beamed ceilings, brand new oversized windows, open city views, an open floor plan and elegant millwork cleverly concealing storage throughout the home. Luxury amenities include 2 zone central air conditioning, dramatic custom lighting, new top-of-line appliances, custom auto-lit closets, sound proofed floor and walls, 3 luxurious spa-like marble bathrooms, washer/dryer, radiant heat floors, and extraordinary storage.  The fully outfitted, open eat-in chefs kitchen looks over onto formal entertaining with abundant custom cabinetry/storage and a central Calacutta Gold marble island. Beautiful Glassos Nano White Slab counters are complemented by a Calacutta marble backsplash, large deep sink and Hansgrohe fixtures. Brand new professional appliances include a Thermador professional 6-burner duel fuel range oven with hood, Sub Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, wine refrigerator and built-in Wolf microwave drawer. A vented concealed laundry closet hides Bosch washer and dryer. The apartment is remarkably quiet, due to sound proofing of floors ceilings and walls and newly installed sound attenuating windows. Truly a rare find. Traditional details were designed throughout including stunning 5 wide plank white oak hardwood floors, pristine moldings and trim, gorgeous open archways and marble hearth gel fuel fireplace with antique mirror to conceal the television. 180 Riverside Drive is an elegant prewar cooperative with a very attentive full-time staff including 24-hour doormen, handymen, porters and live-in resident manager.  Amenities include a new state of the art gym, playroom, storage, laundry and bicycle rooms in the basement.
