Description

Prewar Elegance at the Riviera! 5F is a spacious one bedroom at The Riviera, a landmarked full-service cooperative in the Washington Heights Historic Audubon District, and a stone's throw to the Hudson River. This true one bedroom is 1000 square feet of parquet flooring, old-world details, generous sized rooms and an enviable layout. It has its own in-unit washer/dryer, stainless steel appliances, and is freshly painted. The bedroom can easily fit a king-sized bed, the apartment has ample closet space, the bathroom is both charming and large, the kitchen is windowed and can fit a large table, and there is an attractive built-in bookshelf along the corridor connecting the living room to the rest of the apartment. The old-world details are everywhere: from the brass door handles to the weight of the doors, to the plaster walls, to the vintage stain glass in the bathroom. This building is made well.

The Riviera was built in 1910 and is well known for its' Beaux Arts architecture. The lobby is dripping in majestic old-world detail. There is a full-time doorman, a live-in super, a central laundry room (not that you will need it with your in-unit washer/dryer), is pet friendly and has relaxed rules regarding subletting. There is a bicycle room, private storage, and is one short block to the #1 train at 157th Street, where you will find a plethora of amenities.
