New york city skyline is visible across the water.

A view of River House (and it's adjacent buildings). It is an iconic 26-story Art Deco co-op at 435 East 52nd Street in Manhattan's Sutton Place. Designed in 1931 by William Lawrence Bottomley, it features a gated cobblestone courtyard with a fountain and once offered residents private yacht access before the FDR Drive was constructed. Known for its exclusivity and storied past—including celebrity rejections and legal battles—River House remains one of NYC's most prestigious addresses, embodying old-world luxury along the East River.
