800 Riverside Dr

The Grinnell is an eight-story, landmarked pre‑war cooperative on Riverside Drive completed in 1910 and designed in a Beaux‑Arts/Mediterranean idiom by Schwartz & Gross. The full‑block, triangular plan features a porte‑cochere entry, barrel‑vaulted entrances and an interior courtyard that brings light into deep apartment plans. Residences are large, with 2–4 bedroom layouts, dramatic ceiling heights near 10 feet, original architectural details (hardwood floors, mahogany and oak millwork, inlaid transoms, decorative fireplaces, crown moldings and deep baseboards) and generous closets and storage. Kitchens and baths are a mix of restored period cabinetry and modern upgrades—high‑end appliances, stone counters and washer/dryer provisions appear in many units. Common areas include a staffed lobby with part‑time attendant and live‑in superintendent, bicycle room, private storage units, a small gym (fee), community room and a newly renovated roof terrace with Hudson River and George Washington Bridge views. Outdoor amenities encompass an interior garden/courtyard and roof deck; the building offers limited services rather than full hotel‑style staffing. Pet friendly; HDFC/co‑op ownership with income restrictions and low maintenance levels; occasional assessments apply. Location is Upper Manhattan’s Audubon Park Historic District, steps to the #1 and C trains, multiple bus lines, Riverside Park, Riverbank State Park, and close to Columbia/NY Presbyterian medical and Manhattanville destinations.
