$1,295,000

A welcoming, beautifully renovated, spacious, 3-4 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom apartment in the grandest Beaux Arts apartment building of Upper Riverside Drive, the Riviera, on 157th Street and Riverside Drive in the Audubon Park Historic District. Formal dining room which flows gracefully into an unusually large living room, easily separable into what was the original layout, with a study (or bedroom) side by side with a living room that is still large. Fireplace is decorative and can be moved. New solid oak floors with walnut and maple trim, original bifold French doors, and oak paneling in dining room with dentil molding. A wide hallway begins at the front door, and runs past the public spaces, to two bright large bedrooms which look out on the Hudson River and the GWB. Kitchen (with Bosch washer/dryer) is big enough for four people to cook together and not get in each other's way. The room behind the kitchen, currently a study, can also be a bedroom, or can be folded into the kitchen as it has been in several other D-line apartments in the building. This apartment, which is in very good, move-in condition is in a 24-hour doorman building, with an accessible entrance, marble lobby, live-in super, and a staff of handymen and porters. Ground-floor laundry, package room, storage and bicycle storage. Two parking garages are underneath the buildings across the street. The neighborhood offers supermarkets, home-grown cafes, restaurants and bars, and two century-old cultural institutions, the Hispanic Society Museum which has recently been reborn as an active performance space as well as a place to see Goya's and Velasquez paintings, and the Academy of Arts and Letters which has similarly opened its doors for public performance. Both are 1.5 blocks from the back door of the Riviera. One block from the #1 train, a few more from the C train or the A depending the direction, and two buses to midtown Manhattan, the 4 and the 5. Three blocks to Hudson River Greenway, and the renovated tennis courts, playground and ball fields, and a bit farther to Riverbank State Park which boasts an Olympic sized pool, track, gym, all very reasonable Columbia/NY Presbyterian Medical Complex are in the immediate neighborhood, and the new Columbia Manhattanville campus as well as City College are in a slightly wider definition of the neighborhood.
