Pre-War Charm Meets Modern Living on Riverside Drive

Lucía Torres · 2026-06-16

Perched on the eleventh floor of a distinguished 1922 building designed by George F. Pelham, 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 elegance with today's must-haves. Inside, you'll find nine-foot beamed ceilings, original millwork, and hardwood floors that give the place real character. The oversized south- and west-facing windows flood the space with natural light, making the pre-war grandeur feel fresh and inviting. ### A Kitchen and Bathroom That Respect the Past The updated kitchen isn't just modern—it's thoughtful. It keeps the building's traditional vibe while adding conveniences you actually want. Think sleek countertops, quality fixtures, and enough room to cook without bumping elbows. The bathroom follows the same idea. It's bright, with a window that lets in air and light, and it holds onto vintage details that make it feel special. Little upgrades here and there keep it functional without losing its charm.  ### Flexible Layout for Today's Lifestyle Right now, the home is set up as a one-bedroom with separate formal living and dining rooms. That means you get space to spread out. But here's the cool part: converting it to a true two-bedroom takes no major renovation. If you do that, you end up with two huge bedrooms plus a great room that includes a built-in workstation. Perfect for anyone who works from home but doesn't want to sacrifice living space. And with seven well-organized closets, storage won't be an issue.  ### The Story Behind the Sale 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 moved to the Los Angeles Philharmonic. That creates a cool cultural symmetry—as Roberts heads west, L.A. Phil music director Gustavo Dudamel prepares his own move to New York. The apartment is co-owned by Roberts' parents, executive producers with deep ties to television and film. ### Building Perks You'll Actually Use This isn't just an apartment—it's part of a full-service building. You get: - A doorman to greet you and handle packages - A live-in superintendent for quick fixes - On-site laundry so you don't have to haul clothes far - Bike storage for when you want to ride along the Hudson All of this is just steps from Riverside Park, with its trails and green space, plus the 1/2/3 subway lines for getting around the city. ### Why This Place Stands Out What makes 300 Riverside Drive, 11F special isn't just the views or the history. It's how the pre-war details and modern updates come together without feeling forced. You get character, comfort, and flexibility all in one package.
