690 Riverside Drive, 5-C

This lovely Hamilton Heights 2 bedroom condominium directly overlooks Riverside Drive and enjoys sensational views of the Hudson River and Palisades in the colder months and lush Riverside Park views with hints of the Palisades and River in the warmer seasons. The gracious layout makes this apartment, gut-renovated in 2008, feel even more spacious than its 1,001 s.f.. This home features Pre-War details and high ceilings with modern touches in the bath and kitchen, the latter done over recently by the owners with warm wood cabinets, granite counters, tumbled beige marble back splashes and a stainless steel GE Café range & oven with other appliances by KitchenAid to match. The custom oak cabinetry was handmade in 2010 by Bedford Architectural Woodwork of Bedford Hills, NY, and the beautiful counters are a rich dark olive green with burgundy/russet veins. The hardwood floors are completely renovated and look brand new, while the living room ceiling has "high hat" recessed lights that add sparkle. More than ample closets, including a 5'-6" x 6'-3" walk-in, spacious bedrooms and abundant light create a comfortable and refined living space. There is a handsome marble and tile bath. Both the kitchen and bath are windowed.
690 Riverside Drive is a elevator condo with gleaming tiles in the hallways, a live-in resident manager, a laundry room and video security, and is located across from the amazing Riverside Park. Enjoy a picnic or take a romantic stroll on the Hudson River Greenway with its eleven uninterrupted miles of bike and pedestrian paths stretching from Battery Park to to the Little Red Lighthouse underneath the George Washington Bridge. Two blocks away is the entrance to Riverbank State Park with its tennis & basketball courts and ice rink, to name just a few of the amenities. Blocks away is a neighborhood of classic architectural beauty, cleanliness and safety that make burgeoning Hamilton Heights a coveted destination. Be moments away from Fairway, fine dining and cafes (such as Tanto Dulce, Harlem Public, Grange Bar and Eatery, Caridad, etc.) and clubs and the convenience of the A, C and 1 trains. Have your new home be the ideal combination of smart urban living and incredible park amenities right outside your door. One Dog up to 30 lbs. is allowed in this pet friendly condo. Washer/dryers are not allowed in the apartments.
