...Chic, Cozy, Spacious pre-war beauty!

Extraordinarily large and tastefully renovated 1 bedroom 1 bath apt at the Riviera, a landmarked prewar full service coop located in the bucolic Audubon Park Historic District of southern Washington Heights.

This very quiet apartment features prewar charm throughout, with high ceilings, original oak floors, decorative moulding, over-sized windows, plenty of closets, and southern views of landmark architecture. The large windowed kitchen and bathroom have just gone through a full renovation, that blends beautifully with the historic character of the apartment. Both kitchen and bedroom get southern light, and face the American Academy of Arts and Letters and its historical architecture.

Featured prominently in numerous films, The Riviera is an architecturally significant full-service doorman building built in 1910 by the architectural team of Rouse and Goldstone in the Beaux-Arts style. The Riviera stands on a lot that was once part of a farm belonging to the painter and naturalist, John James Audubon. The building features a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry room, bike room, and additional storage space, and has been home to many notable figures throughout the years.

The building is located in a particularly charming part of Riverside Drive, quiet and secluded, one block from the park on the Hudson River, and its numerous amenities (tennis courts, ball fields, outdoor and indoor swimming pools etc.). It is also one block from the #1 train, four blocks from the C train, one stop from the A train, and close to cafes, supermarkets, restaurants, and bars. It is also a very short commute to the Presbyterian/Columbia Medical Center, City College, and Columbia University’s Morningside and Manhattanville campuses.
