Description
Bright and gracious, this large, west-facing, prewar one-bedroom home features beautiful, direct Hudson River views and is superbly located in an excellent full-service building in a very pretty pocket of Washington Heights. This superb location is one of the best kept secrets in the city surrounded by conveniences and abundant green space and recreation. The formal expanse has lovely natural light streaming in from the west framing the River with beautiful sunsets guaranteed. The gracious layout includes an expansive open living room and formal dining room with old world details including hardwood floors, crown and baseboard moldings and cut-out bookshelves. The oversized, quiet bedroom suite feels entirely separate from formal entertaining. Both the windowed kitchen and bathroom are in excellent condition with stainless appliances including a dishwasher and built-in microwave. There is extremely generous closet storage for a one-bedroom home with five huge closets. This lovely one-bedroom home on Riverside Drive West offers gracious living, beautiful River views, great storage and excellent services and amenities in a superb location with a low monthly maintenance. 159 Riverside Drive West, also known as The River Arts, is a handsome premier, prewar cooperative in Washington Heights with an excellent full-service staff including full-time doormen, handymen, porters and a live-in superintendent. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and maintained and the River Arts was the first in the area to go green with the installation of solar roof panels and composting. Amenities include an indoor garage, 24-hour gym, laundry room, private and bike storage, a community room, shared outdoor space and bulk rate cable and electric. A roof deck is coming soon! Pets are permitted. Washer/dryers are permitted with board approval.
