159-34 Riverside Drive West #5L70

If you knew what we know – you’d have bought this one already. The Riverside Drive and Broadway corridors from 135th Street upwards are undergoing a groundswell of renewal: rental buildings converting to condo; townhouse shells being renovated, ground-up construction new condos; specialty markets; high quality cafes and restaurants; upscale services and retail. The Broadway Mall Association that brought such horticultural beauty to Broadway between Columbus Circle and 122nd Street has now taken over the malls from 135th to 160th and will refurbish them to similar splendor. This all means you have a better shot here than in most places for continued rapid real estate value appreciation. The River Arts Cooperative is built on a ridge overlooking the Hudson River, so the fifth floor gives equivalent light, air and views comparable to a 10th story above the River. From your living room and master bedroom windows you and will enjoy the view from Hoboken to the George Washington Bridge. This view is dominated by the unspoiled beauty of the Palisades Park directly across the Hudson. Your guests will envy your sunsets, which will be dramatically framed through your large postwar living room window. The River Arts offers a welcoming doorman-attended lobby, interior parking garage, gym, storage facilities and a soon-to-be landscaped resident’s courtyard for a full-service lifestyle at a very low maintenance. Enter the mint-renovated apartment with premium kitchen, refurbished oak floors, recessed lighting, laundry nook, premium bath renovation and new molding throughout and you’ll be hooked. Your entry foyer can double as a dining room and there is an excellent spread between the two bedrooms for optimum privacy. Pets are allowed and 90% financing is allowed. Explore the changes on nearby Broadway! Come and visit locally-owned boutiques, cafes, bars, restaurants and specialty markets are springing up in an exciting home-grown trend of renewal. The River Arts is located in the Audubon Terrace neighborhood of Washington Heights. Take the #1 train to 157th street. Walk West toward the river on 158th St. Riverside Drive West will veer off to your right – follow it and you will see the Hudson directly in front of you. Turn left at Riverside Drive proper. The River Arts will be the first building entrance you come to on Riverside Drive West. Please let the doorman know you are there to see 5L-70. Shown BOA.
