552 Riverside Drive #1L

DIRECT PARK VIEW & A GREAT VALUE TOO! This low maintenance one-bedroom is priced less than a studio, has a direct view of Riverside Park, and is in an amenity-filled dog friendly building. That’s almost unheard of in Manhattan! Come see this beauty by appointment or at the next open house! Seller is open to offers!! Please note that this is NOT a street level apartment—it’s set well back and above the street and because the building is on a hill, the living room is actually on the second floor. So, don’t let the floor number keep you from checking out this great apartment.

One of the first things you’ll notice on entering this beautiful home are the high ceilings that give it a loft-like feel and the big east-facing bay window with a large sill that’s perfect for plants or seating. The smart open floor plan features a modern kitchen with stainless appliances and double sink. If cooking isn’t your thing, there are dozens of amazing restaurants within blocks. End each day in your king-size bedroom that has two deep closets and enough room for all your furniture and then some. And of course, there’s that pretty park view that gives you a front row seat to the change of seasons. New sound insulated windows with screens and eco-friendly bamboo floors complete this ideal home.

This gem is located around the corner from the 1 train at 125th Street and Columbia’s new Manhattanville campus in one of the best co-op buildings in Morningside Heights: live-in super who collects packages, furnished roof deck with WiFi and stunning river and park views, laundry room with pool table, community room with flat screen TV & ping pong table, workshop, bike storage (small fee, wait list), fitness center (small fee), and free storage space. The very reasonable board considers gifting, co-purchasing, subletting, pied-a-terre, 90% financing and up to TWO DOGS.

Be the savvy buyer who chooses Morningside Heights, and then watch as your home’s value rises along with Columbia’s new campus around the corner. 552 Riverside Drive 1L offers the best of two worlds: a peaceful block across from Riverside Park within one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in Manhattan. Come see it for yourself at the next open house or email or text for an appointment.
