Property Description for 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.
Additional features of this property include: Bath: Marble, Kitchen: Granite Countertops, and Kitchen: Stainless Steel Appliances.

Hamilton Heights | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Primarily a residential neighborhood, Hamilton Heights has a mix of brownstones, walk-ups and older apartment buildings, together with more luxurious apartment and condo buildings situated along Riverside Drive. Known for being a working class neighborhood in the past, now there are many artists, teachers and actors making their homes in Hamilton Heights.  

Hamilton Heights has a diverse population that prides itself on being a tight-knit community, one where neighbors know and respect one another, work together on issues that confront the community, support each other in difficult times, and spend time together socializing at block and seasonal parties.

Although there are many types of public transportation available, the area subway stops may require a bit of a walk, so you will need to plan for this time in your commute.

Hamilton Heights has a definite family-oriented vibe, and there are many playgrounds and activities for children. Additionally, you can find child daycare at reasonable prices. Riverbank State Park has many activities and recreational opportunities geared toward children. 

Although there are plentiful places to shop for groceries, everything from the bigger national chains to the neighborhood bodegas and delis, they are starting to show the impact of gentrification in the higher prices they are charging, especially for organic products.
