390 RIVERSIDE Drive #12AD

BIG, BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL. This large prewar 1 bedroom in the grand Salvatore Ajello co-op on Riverside and 111th Street has your name on it. Filled with light all day and in the back of the building (QUIET!!) is in move-in condition. Newly renovated with top-of-the line appliances, 5-burner stove, double-door fridge, and a marble pass-through to the living room, there is room for visiting, entertaining, and cooking to your heart's content. The original soaking tub in the windowed bath has been kept, but the rest of the bathroom has been beautifully retiled, with new fixtures, sink with vanity and low-water use toilet. The corner bedroom is plenty big enough for a king-size bed. 390 Riverside is a full-service, 24-hour doorman building, with a dramatic stained glass window in the lobby. The building has a roof deck with dramatic views of the Hudson, the GW Bridge, and the skylines of NYC. Located in the Columbia University area, the neighborhood pulses with activity. Good restaurants and grocery stores are plentiful, and Riverside Park is across the street, with plenty of walks, the occasional restaurant and the occasional goat (visiting at 119th Street). The Columbia campus is interesting architecturally and historically and has a pleasant green space to enjoy. On the east of campus is Morningside Park, designed in 1837 by Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmstead (designers of Central Park). Only about 30 acres, it has been restored over the last several years and is a wonderful place to visit or play.
