Amy Schumer, everybody’s favorite not the girl next door comic, has checked out a $15 million private house on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The building could be a present to herself for the Jewish New Year.
As The New York Post reported, Schumer is looking at 352 Riverside Drive, a Beaux Arts mansion above Riverside Park, near Columbia University.

Built in 1900, the house has 5 stories, is 26 feet wide and has eight woodburning fireplaces. It is located on a 41 foot wide lot.
If Amy Schumer goes through with the purchase, she can look forward to enjoying
eight huge windows that run along to the south overlooking a 15 foot wide southern garden which lets light to into the building. It has approximately 9400 sf of interior space, 1920 sf in the basement and approximately 3200 sf of outdoor space. And as if that is not enough the home also boasts a roof garden, and an elevator which services all levels of the house. Unlike most buildings with north/south sunlight, this house enjoys east, west, and south light throughout the day.
The roof terrace is 20 feet wide by 40 feet long and offers incredible views of the Hudson River & Riverside Park. The garden to the south of this mansion is 15 feet wide and 100 feet deep.
Amy Schumer’s spokesperson told the Post, “Amy loves the Upper West Side — especially the privacy it offers.”
From the listing by Brown, Harris, Stevens:
Enjoy the tranquility of living on beautiful Riverside Park overlooking the Hudson River – a residential oasis, but just steps away from a vibrant university neighborhood. Blocks away is Columbia University at the forefront of medicine, technology, music, as well as political and social discourse. Columbia offers an array of lectures, cultural events, and performances. Resident and visiting students, professors, intellectual speakers, book authors and respected leaders live in and visit this great university neighborhood. Within a few blocks you will find wonderful restaurants, vegetable markets, convenience and grocery stores, drug stores, banks, music and cultural venues, schools, music and cultural venues. Nearby Riverside Church and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine offer year round cultural events. Transportation is extremely convenient, also within a few blocks on Broadway.
A walk along Riverside drive offers incredible beauty as well as historical and cultural iconography, including such treasured monuments as the Eleanor Roosevelt statue, the Soldiers’ & Sailors’ Monument, Anna Hyatt Huntington’s Joan of Arc , the Fireman’s Memorial & Grant’s Tomb.
Schumer has one problem, however. She will need to unload her current home located at 129 W. 80th St which is listed at well under $2 million. But Amy Schumer can probably get a descent mortgage to cover the rest.
