790 Riverside Drive #10-C

** PRICE IMPROVED ** Artfully designed and renovated, this 2-Bed/1-Bath home offers high ceilings and an open living space featuring a charming and functional kitchen. Bright light filters into this 10th floor apartment during the day, creating a cheery environment. The apartment is well situated in The Riviera, a classic pre-war, full-service co-op centered in the Audubon Park Historic District of lower Washington Heights; a quiet cul-de-sac separate and apart from Broadway's hustle-bustle, but close by if you need it. Industrial style lighting and accessories tastefully complement the high ceilings and pre-war touches here. It's move-in ready to accommodate all sorts of eclectic or traditional tastes, also easily modifiable if you want to create a third bedroom (see optional plan). The kitchen butcher-block counter serves the breakfast bar with a Bertazzoni range, fisher paykel refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, cast iron sink, SubZero wine cooler and custom kitchen storage wall all smartly utilitarian and attractive. [A combination washer/dryer could be installed where the beverage cooler is located, and move it next to the fridge.] The engineered, maple hardwood floors sheen complimented by deep pre-war style mouldings. The rear bedroom or home office has a panoramic view of the neighborhood, facing east. Built in 1911 in the striking Beaux-Arts style, The Riviera at 790 Riverside Drive is an extraordinary masonry building by the architectural team of Rouse & Goldstone. Standing 13 stories tall between West 156th and 157th Streets, this full-service doorman building is pet friendly, with laundry, bike and storage lockers (extra) for residents. The co-op allows purchases by parents and co-purchases. FIOS or Spectrum service. Audubon Park is a sought after community cul-de-sac, well suited for today's varied lifestyles and neighborly values. Stroll along winding streets past grand pre-war buildings down Riverside Drive, then across the Denny Farrell Pedestrian Bridge at 151st Street (ADA-accessible) to Fort Washington Park and the Hudson River Greenway. Swim, sport and relax at the Denny Farrell Riverbank State Park, a 28-acre state-of-the-art facility offering diverse recreational, athletic and arts experiences for all ages, interests and abilities. Shop 2 blocks away at Super Foodtown or dine at one of the many multi-cuisine outdoor restaurants along Broadway. You'll also have easy access to Columbia University's burgeoning Manhattanville campus, CCNY, and the world-class NY Presbyterian/Columbia Medical Center.
