Pre-War Charm Meets Modern Living on Riverside Drive

Lucía Torres · 2026-06-16

Perched on the eleventh floor of a distinguished 1922 George F. Pelham-designed building, 300 Riverside Drive, 11F, offers sweeping views of the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline. Represented by The Agency's Mike Fabbri and Joshua Garner, this Upper West Side co-op blends old-world character with thoughtful updates. Inside, you'll find nine-foot beamed ceilings, original millwork, and hardwood floors, plus oversized south- and west-facing windows that flood the space with natural light. It's the kind of home where pre-war grandeur feels alive, not stuffy. ### A Kitchen and Bathroom That Honor the Past The updated kitchen strikes a nice balance between modern convenience and traditional charm. It's not trying to be flashy; it just works. The bright, windowed bathroom keeps vintage detailing alongside practical upgrades, so you get the best of both eras. These spaces feel intentional, like someone cared about preserving the building's soul while making daily life easier.  ### A Flexible Layout for Today's Lifestyle Currently configured as a one-bedroom with separate formal living and dining rooms, the layout is both expansive and adaptable. Here's the cool part: a true two-bedroom conversion would require zero renovation. You'd end up with two enormous bedrooms plus a great room anchored by a built-in workstation. That's an ideal setup if you work from home but don't want to sacrifice living space. Seven well-organized closets round out a home that's practical and beautiful. - Original beamed ceilings and millwork throughout - Oversized windows with river and skyline views - Easy conversion to two bedrooms without construction - Built-in workstation for remote work - Seven closets for ample storage  ### A Story That Adds Character The home is being sold by Ryan Roberts, an award-winning classical musician who made headlines while still in high school. He was featured in Forbes and Business Insider before becoming the youngest tenured member of the New York Philharmonic at the time. After six seasons with the Philharmonic, Roberts recently departed for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. That creates a striking cultural symmetry: as Roberts heads west, L.A. Phil music director Gustavo Dudamel prepares his own move to New York. This apartment is co-owned by Roberts' parents, executive producers with deep ties to the television and film industry. So the place has a story, and it's one you'll want to tell at dinner parties. ### Building Amenities and Location The building itself is full-service, with a doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry, and bike storage. And it's all moments from the nature and trails of Riverside Park, plus the 1/2/3 subway lines. You get city convenience and a quiet escape, all in one spot.
