Description

UNDERSTATED ELEGANCE ON RIVERSIDE DRIVE Direct Hudson River views create a divine backdrop for this equally stunning light-filled 2 Bedroom. This home feels fresh and inviting from the moment you enter. The gracious dining foyer opens to a grand living room overlooking the Hudson River, GWB and Palisades beyond while over-sized windows invite glorious light and cross breeze all day long. The tastefully renovated kitchen features white shaker-style cabinetry, quartz counters with ceramic tile back splash, stainless appliances and a picture-perfect view of the GWB. The king-sized corner Master bedroom floods with afternoon light while offering 2 large closets, double exposure and enough space for that additional office. The view here magically captures the Little Red Lighthouse at the foot of the GWB. Separating the sunny second bedroom and Master is the bathroom where you can unwind at day's end with a long bath in your deep soaking tub. Throughout are hardwood floors, electrical upgrades, nicely skim-coated walls, custom radiator covers, 9 ft ceilings, 6 uncommonly generous closets and the most breathtaking sunsets you could dream of. Welcome to the River Arts, the premiere full-service DM building in the Audubon Triangle of Washington Heights. This divinely situated building overlooking the Hudson River is beautifully landscaped and attended by a full-time doorman. Amenities include indoor parking for only $230 per month, a gym ($50/year), bike storage ($25/bike/year), 24/7 laundry room, storage cages, a resident Super plus 3 porters, an events/party room and more. The building allows W/D in the units and one dog per shareholder apartment (with certain breed restrictions). Moments away from the #1 train plus easy access to the Henry Hudson, the GWB and all major Metropolitan roadways. This vibrant neighborhood offers wonderful local eateries, markets, coffee houses and after work hangs such as Hilltop Park Alehouse. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy direct and easy access to the Hudson River Greenway, a beautiful dedicated bike-way along the river plus Fort Washington Park just at the bottom of the hill which has been recently refurbished with volleyball courts, soccer fields, modern playgrounds, handball, tennis and more. The River Arts is proud to be the first building in Audubon Park to go Green with the installation of Solar Panels! All this plus a LOW maintenance! Now more than ever HOME is everything.this gem will inspire you to plant roots.
