Turn key best describes this newly renovated, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom gem in Washington Heights most sought after Riverside Drive building, River Arts. This is a top floor corner unit providing you with a life of peaceful silence; no upstairs neighbors! Enter through a large gallery style foyer leading to an expansive loftlike 21-foot long living room with postcard River, Park and Bridge views. Adjacent to the living room is a renovated open kitchen with a breakfast bar and a separate windowed dining area. The kitchen provides excellent work space and abundant storage cabinets plus a pantry closet, stainless steel appliances, granite countertop and a glass backsplash. The hardwood floors have just been refinished and the entire apartment has just been painted. Don't worry about 50 layers of paint that you see in many pre-war apartments. All walls, windows, heating grates and doors have been scraped down to a smooth new finish and new LED recessed lighting has been installed throughout the apartment.

In a separate wing to the right of the foyer are the 2 full size bedrooms and 2 full baths. The main bath was enlarged to add a deep soaking tub surrounded by white marble tiling. The second one is en-suite to the master bedroom with its wall of closets. In one of the 3 hallway closets is a full-size stacked and vented washer/dryer, a New York luxury! There is generous closet space and windows in every room providing abundant Eastern, Southern and Northern sunlight throughout the day.
