Description

Effective Immediately, per NYS and the Real Estate Board of NY, all visitors, including agents, must show proof of vaccination before entering any property. Thank you. This lovely two bedroom, one bath home is located in one of the most sought out buildings in Washington Heights, the Riviera. This extraordinary home is filled with all the prewar charm any enthusiast could ever want, from the unique crown moldings around the ceiling and doorways, to the gorgeous hardwood flooring throughout the unit.

This tranquil home has 4 spacious rooms with 9’ foot ceilings. The large living room is opened up to the dining area and windowed kitchen, which includes; white shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel stove/oven and microwave, white dishwasher to blend into the cabinetry and refrigerator. The windowed bathroom has beautiful subway tile and the original cast iron tub, which is always good for a hot soak at the end of the day!

The bedrooms are gracious in size, one has built-in shelving with bi-fold glass pane doors and the other is a corner room. The Riviera was built in 1911, has 199 units, a full-time doorman and has a live-in superintendent. This is also a pet friendly building and has a central laundry room.

There is a new grocery store, Super Foodtown, in the area as well as wonderful local restaurants and coffee shops just off of Broadway and Riverside Drive. The building is convenient to all kinds of transportation, with the 1 train at 157th Street, C train at 155th Street, as well as the M4, M5 and BX6 bus lines on the Broadway corner. Also, there is quick auto access at 158th to the West Side Hwy and George Washington Bridge, and across 155th St to Yankee Stadium and the Major Deegan Expwy.

Come take advantage of this historic neighborhood and discover some the early Americana throughout the area, such as, the Morris-Jumel Mansion, Trinity Cemetery, Hamilton Grange, Hispanic Society and other historic locations just to name a few. SHOWINGS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY AND WILL FOLLOW REBNY AND BUILDING HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES. THANK YOU.
