Description

Unobstructed and direct Hudson River and Riverside Park views! This is a rare opportunity to have light, privacy, and stunning protected views from every window in your home (including the bathroom). This is the first time the unit has been on the market since the coop converted almost 45 years ago. This unit has not been updated in many years and is the perfect opportunity for a buyer that wants to renovate something with their own preferences.

The coop, known as The Cliff Dwelling, has a live in super, porter and solid financials. The building has two elevators with upgraded mechanicals, central laundry and an entrance on 96th street in addition to the Riverside Drive entrance.

Sorry, dogs are not allowed. The coop requires this to be your primary residence (no pied-a-terre use) and allows financing up to 80%. 243 Riverside Drive is an ideal location with Riverside Park across the street and just two blocks from the 1/2/3 subway station or the cross-town bus.
