334 Riverside Dr, New York, NY 10025

Just Listed Beaux-Arts Beauty 334 Riverside Drive A once-in-a-generation canvas on the elevated sweep of Riverside Drive, just off Duke Ellington Boulevard (W. 106th Street): a 25-foot-wide, landmarked Beaux-Arts townhouse with direct Hudson River and Riverside Park views from every level and set among the storied mansions known as the "Seven Beauties" (330-337 Riverside Drive). Approximately 7,960 SF across six stories, with an elevator, private backyard, and multiple terraces. This is the rare property that reads as a true "forever" home and an income-producing asset with meaningful upside. The Opportunity 334 Riverside is currently configured as multiple residences (11 bedrooms / 8 baths / 27 rooms), including a dramatic duplex penthouse (8 rooms, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, with two eat-in kitchens and 3 terraces). Several apartments are floor-through, many enjoy open park/river sightlines, and select units have in-unit laundry. A separate service entrance supports clean operations and future renovation logistics. Whether your vision is: a single world-class townhouse, a hybrid owner's triplex/quad + rental income, or a high-end multi-residence, the underlying ingredients -- width, volume, view corridors, and landmarked architectural pedigree - cannot be manufactured. The building is partially occupied by rental tenants; certain units, including the penthouse, are currently vacant, creating flexibility for near-term use and repositioning. Architectural Presence + Original Detail The home retains the kind of prewar craft buyers rarely find intact: grand vestibule and lobby millwork, library/study detail, skylights, cathedral-style ceilings, and multiple mantle fireplaces. The Beaux-Arts brick-and-stone facade presents beautifully and signals long-term value the moment you arrive. A Layered History You Can Feel 334 Riverside sits within the Riverside-West 105th Street Historic District, with 334-336 designed by Hoppin & Koen in the early 1900s. In 1905, the townhouse is documented as the initial home of the Nippon Club, founded by Dr. Jkichi Takamine. And the block's cultural legacy is real: Duke Ellington lived at 333 and is widely reported to have previously acquired No. 334 as part of his Riverside Drive footprint. Riverside Park as Your Front Yard Riverside Park and Riverside Drive (72nd Street to St. Clair Place) are a designated NYC Scenic Landmark, protecting the character and view experience that makes this address what it is. From morning runs to dog runs, tennis/pickleball fields, and waterfront paths, it's perfectly situated for daily living, plus Broadway conveniences and quick access to the 1 / B / C subway and major bus lines.
