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, commands sweeping views of the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline. Represented by The Agency’s Mike Fabbri and Joshua Garner, this Upper West Side two-bedroom co-op is a rare find. Inside, nine-foot beamed ceilings, original millwork, and hardwood floors greet you. Oversized south- and west-facing windows flood the space with natural light, enhancing the residence’s pre-war grandeur. ### A Kitchen and Bathroom That Balance Old and New The updated kitchen blends modern convenience with the building’s traditional character. Think sleek appliances paired with classic cabinetry that feels right at home. The bright, windowed bathroom retains vintage detailing alongside thoughtful upgrades, like updated fixtures and tiling. It’s a space that honors its history without sacrificing comfort.  ### Flexible Layout for Modern Life Currently configured as a one-bedroom with separate formal living and dining rooms, the layout is both expansive and adaptable. A true two-bedroom conversion would require no renovation, resulting in two enormous bedrooms plus a great room anchored by a built-in workstation. This setup is ideal for anyone working from home without sacrificing living space. Seven well-organized closets round out a home that’s at once practical and beautiful. ### A 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 departed for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. This creates a striking 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 the television and film industry. ### Building Amenities and Location The building itself is full-service, offering a doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry, and bike storage. It’s all moments from the nature and trails of Riverside Park and the 1/2/3 subway lines. Living here means you’re connected to the city’s pulse while enjoying a serene retreat. ### Key Features at a Glance - **Views**: Sweeping Hudson River and Manhattan skyline - **Ceilings**: Nine-foot beamed ceilings with original millwork - **Floors**: Hardwood throughout - **Windows**: Oversized south- and west-facing for abundant light - **Kitchen**: Updated with modern appliances - **Bathroom**: Windowed with vintage detailing - **Closets**: Seven well-organized closets - **Flexibility**: Easy conversion to two bedrooms To learn more about this property or to schedule a showing, contact The Agency’s Mike Fabbri or Joshua Garner.
