Airy ceilings, large windows and abundant closet space round out this very comfortable, alluring home.
Built in 1911 in the striking Beaux-Arts style, The Riviera at 790 Riverside Drive is an extraordinary masonry building by the architectural team of Rouse & Goldstone. Standing 13 stories tall between West 156th and 157th Streets, this full-service doorman building is pet friendly, with laundry, bike and storage lockers (extra) for residents. The co-op allows purchases by parents and co-purchases.
The Audubon Park community is sought after and suited for today's varied lifestyles and neighborly values.
