Property Details
Description
Residence 12F offers a rare combination of privacy, scale, and enduring pre-war elegance. Situated on the building’s top floor, the home feels quietly removed from the world below, with a gracious layout that unfolds seamlessly from room to room. Exceptional ceiling heights amplify the sense of volume, while classic pre-war details—rich in craftsmanship—add warmth and sophistication throughout. A gracious gallery welcomes you and leads to an expansive living room with ample space for dining and entertaining. At the opposite end of the gallery, a beautifully arched hallway leads to the oversized eat-in kitchen, featuring extensive storage, stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, a windowed breakfast nook, and generous space for a pantry and additional dining. Washer/dryer installation is permitted with board approval. The serene, king-sized bedroom easily accommodates a full suite of furnishings and enjoys beautiful natural light throughout the day. The bright, windowed bathroom retains its original charm, including a cast-iron tub and porcelain sink. Storage is exceptional, with four large closets—including a walk-in currently used as a voiceover studio—and a wall of original built-ins with overhead storage. Beautifully maintained hardwood floors, 9.5-foot ceilings, crown moldings, transom windows, and beamed ceilings further enhance the home’s charm and character. The Riviera is a landmarked Beaux Arts cooperative built in 1910 by Rouse & Gladstone, featuring a striking marble lobby with hand-painted coffered ceilings, three entrances, a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry, handymen, and porters. Located in the Audubon Park Historic District near Riverside Park, the building is one block from the 1 train with a convenient commute to Midtown, one stop from the A/C trains at 168th Street and Columbia University Medical Center, and one block from the entrance to the Henry Hudson Parkway for easy access in and out of the city. Pets, co-purchasing, guarantors, parental purchasing, pied-à-terre ownership, and in-unit washer/dryer installation are all permitted. A monthly assessment of $374 is currently in place through April 2026.
