The Schwab House at 11 Riverside Drive #5LE

Live the tranquil life in a bright, beautiful spacious alcove studio at the full-service Schwab House cooperative! Residence 5LE rests at the treetop level above the West End entrance, and enjoys a quiet ambience with minimal hall traffic, as the 5th-floor Wing has no entrances across from the apartment. The home’s refined elegance is enhanced by pristine-conditioned hardwood floors, the new large, easy-to-clean double-pane windows inviting in lovely light, custom Hunter Douglas window treatments, and an open layout for entertaining.

A gracious foyer greets your arrival and spills into an oversized living room for lounging and entertaining. The remodeled kitchen is styled with slate black tile flooring, a chic blue tiled backsplash, custom frosted glass with solid white cabinetry, a new refrigerator/freezer, oven with built-in ventilation system, and deep stainless steel sink. Adjoining is a spacious dining area that will accommodate a large table; plus stools add a casual alternative for eating at the pass-through kitchen counter.

Unwind in the peaceful bedroom that can fit a queen-sized bed as well as two nightstands and an armoire. A generous mirrored closet has ample shelving for clothes and storage, and a ceiling fan can be adjusted conveniently by a bedside control. The private bonus room featuring faux wood tile floors is currently used for overnight guests, complete with an extra-long twin bed, nightstand and dresser; or it can serve as a project/office space, storage, etc. Across the foyer is an updated full bath with a new sink toilet, and tub/shower with partial glass enclosure. Other highlights include a new through wall air conditioner with custom cover, and upgraded electricity.
