Property Description for 159-00 Riverside Drive West, 5-M

UNDERSTATED ELEGANCE ON RIVERSIDE DRIVE Direct Hudson River views create a divine backdrop for this equally stunning light-filled 2 Bedroom. This home feels fresh and inviting from the moment you enter. The gracious dining foyer opens to a grand living room overlooking the Hudson River, GWB and Palisades beyond while over-sized windows invite glorious light and cross breeze all day long. The tastefully renovated kitchen features white shaker-style cabinetry, quartz counters with ceramic tile back splash, stainless appliances and a picture-perfect view of the GWB. The king-sized corner Master bedroom floods with afternoon light while offering 2 large closets, double exposure and enough space for that additional office. The view here magically captures the Little Red Lighthouse at the foot of the GWB. Separating the sunny second bedroom and Master is the bathroom where you can unwind at day’s end with a long bath in your deep soaking tub. Throughout are hardwood floors, electrical upgrades, nicely skim-coated walls, custom radiator covers, 9 ft ceilings, 6 uncommonly generous closets and the most breathtaking sunsets you could dream of. Welcome to the River Arts, the premiere full-service DM building in the Audubon Triangle of Washington Heights. This divinely situated building overlooking the Hudson River is beautifully landscaped and attended by a full-time doorman. Amenities include indoor parking for only $230 per month, a gym ($50/year), bike storage ($25/bike/year), 24/7 laundry room, storage cages, a resident Super plus 3 porters, an events/party room and more. The building allows W/D in the units and one dog per shareholder apartment (with certain breed restrictions). Moments away from the #1 train plus easy access to the Henry Hudson, the GWB and all major Metropolitan roadways. This vibrant neighborhood offers wonderful local eateries, markets, coffee houses and after work hangs such as Hilltop Park Alehouse. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy direct and easy access to the Hudson River Greenway, a beautiful dedicated bike-way along the river plus Fort Washington Park just at the bottom of the hill which has been recently refurbished with volleyball courts, soccer fields, modern playgrounds, handball, tennis and more. The River Arts is proud to be the first building in Audubon Park to go Green with the installation of Solar Panels! All this plus a LOW maintenance! Now more than ever HOME is everything….this gem will inspire you to plant roots.

Washington Heights | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Washington Heights, a hilly neighborhood on Manhattan’s northern tip known for its affordable apartments, preserved pre-war buildings, and Dominican food. Some would argue that it's a hidden gem and one of Manhattan's last neighborhoods that has retained its culture. The large swath of land is bordered by Inwood to the north along Dyckman Street, by Harlem to the South along 155th Street, by the Harlem River to the east, and the Hudson River to the West. It is the highest natural point on the Island of Manhattan. 

Despite its high residential density, Washington Heights and Inwood have not seen modern housing construction in more than a decade other than relatively small housing units. Midtown Manhattan, Battery Park, TriBeCa, Chelsea, and Hell’s Kitchen, on the other hand, have seen an increase in building. Most of the high rise construction belongs to hospitals such as New York Presbyterian, Columbia University Medical Center, and educational institutions like Yeshiva University and Boricua College. 

Washington Heights has access to amazing green spaces like The Cloisters, Fort Washington Park, Highbridge Park and Fort Tryon Park. There is no shortage of historical landmarks either. Remember General George Washington set up his camp in Washington Heights during the Revolutionary War. He used the elevated neighborhood to his tactical advantage to spot the Redcoats. As history would have it, his plan didn’t work out so well and the British occupied New York for seven years.
