706 Riverside Drive, 1-B

SWEET & INVITING RIVERSIDE DRIVE CONDO -- This is your rare opportunity to live in a classic pre-war Riverside Drive Condo in Hamilton Heights. The modern and charming renovations have transformed this classic space into an enchanting environment to live and welcome family and friends. The kitchen opens to a large living room. The master bedroom easily fits a king-size bed. The 2nd bedroom will also fit a king-size bed but has been updated with a charming loft sleeping space that accommodates two full-size beds; underneath the loft there is plenty of space for playing and studying. (Please note: if the double loft wonderland doesn't suit your needs it can be easily removed without damage to the floors.) Reclaimed wood from the Big Reuse in Astoria has been used to build expertly crafted shelving in the hallway and the 2nd bedroom. The bathroom is clean and bright with white tiled walls and a black marble floor. The thoughtful work on this apartment offers many welcome hidden surprises like the fold-out desk in the hallway cabinet to pull-up desktops in the 2nd bedroom. It is often said, but this truly is a unique and magical space.And, it is very important to note -- the monthly common charges are less than $300 (the lowest I have found for a 2 bedroom Condo) with taxes less than $200 per month. Located in a 51 unit condominium on Riverside Drive, this elevated and quiet 1st floor unit has beautiful eastern and southern light throughout the day. The building has a laundry room in the lobby and storage space in the basement (although there is a waiting list for the storage).Located on the southeast corner of West 148th Street and Riverside Drive, this unit is convenient to the 1, A, B, C and D trains as well as the M4, M5, and M11 buses. It is also an easy stroll to either Riverside Park, which runs from the GWB to Battery Park City, as well as Riverbank State Park, a 28 acre recreational and cultural public space that is 69 feet above the Hudson River. Riverbank State Park offers a myriad of athletic and cultural classes for children and adults in addition to its two swimming pools, track and field, gym, picnic promenade, and restaurant. There are delicious eateries along Broadway and St. Nicholas for when you want to venture out for a bite of nourishment. And it should be said, the unit is close to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, City Collage, and Columbia University.
