552 Riverside Drive #1K

Charming starter apt in wonderful old world prewar directly across from historic Riverside Park. This majestic building sits on a quiet, secure residential street close to all the shops and restaurants of the Columbia U District. This grand beauty rests right on the edge of all the new Columbia University development, just one block from the subway at 125th Street.
This delightful home is pin drop quiet, with high ceilings, gleaming hardwood flooring, and an efficient open kitchen. An attractive hideaway boasting a handsomely renovated bathroom and pristine full sized bedroom, all in move-in condition. Due to the construction of the building, the first floor apartments are one story up similar to the grand buildings of Europe.
552 Riverside Drive was built circa 1910 when craftsmanship and materials were at their peak. It has a gorgeous marble lobby, turn-of-the-Century decorative tiled flooring and grand curved staircase. Enchanting old world artistry is mixed with modern amenities including a well-appointed gym complete with new equipment, a truly fabulous landscaped, wood-decked roof terrace with river views, a courtyard patio with tables and grills and a recently renovated children’s playroom. In addition, there is a secure package room, large fully equipped laundry room, bike and AC storage, plus 2 shelves per unit in a dedicated storage room. The building has a state-of-the-art buzz-in system and the immediate area is monitored by Columbia University security with security booths just to the south and north of the building.
The co-op community allows pets, guarantors, pied a terres and gifting. They do not allow parent/child co-purchasing or parents purchasing for children.
