Property Description for 5 Riverside Drive, 12-E

This ideally situated Art Deco prewar gem is a full-service doorman building facing Riverside Park. This elegantly renovated junior one bedroom features an oversized sunken living room, high beamed ceilings with crown moldings, bleached oak herringbone restored wood floors, decorative original Art Deco fireplace, distinctive curved archways and thoughtful details throughout. The tastefully updated kitchen has a new Bosch stainless steel refrigerator, new Bosch dishwasher, new GE microwave, along with a professional-grade DeLonghi gas range. This apartment also features a rare-for-the-building built-in vented washer and dryer, as well as new through-the-wall air conditioners. With plenty of space for storage, the queen-sized bedroom has its own walk-in closet in addition to the laundry closet. There's another large walk-in closet and a separate coat closet in the entryway, supplemented with clever built-in storage solutions throughout.

The solidly thick walls of this Boak and Paris designed prewar classic create a virtually silent building, obvious even in the recently remodeled hallways. This building is meticulously managed and in an incredibly safe neighborhood - the attentive 24 hour full service doormen and live-in superintendent assure peace of mind. All deliveries are either sent up by elevator or escorted by building attendants, while smaller packages and mail are silently delivered to your door every day. If needed, commercial-grade laundry facilities, private storage rooms, and bike room are located in the basement. Breathe easy with the open skies and serenity of Riverside Park and the Hudson River right across the street. This building is incredibly pet-friendly, which is ideal since one of the friendliest dog parks on the UWS is right across the street.

Upper West Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Bracketed on its east and west borders by massive city parks, the Upper West Side (UWS) is known for its greenery, stately and elegant townhomes, safe streets and great schools, all of which make it a very desirable neighborhood for families. The UWS has maintained its community feeling, making it attractive to young professionals and retirees, both of whom want a sense of belonging in the place they call home.

Here you’ll find many apartment buildings, especially those along Central Park West. Historic architecture abounds, anchored by four luxury co-ops - the San Remo, Majestic, Century and Eldorado apartments - all of which have two towers on their interiors. They were built in the 1930s and their design was predicated on a 1929 building code that imposed a height limit on residences facing the street. There are also impressive row houses near Riverside Drive throughout the W 70 and 80 Streets. Above the 90s, you will find smaller buildings where walk-ups are very reasonably priced.

There are several world-class museums and venues dedicated to the performing arts. Plentiful dining can be found in the UWS. You will find everything from quaint Jewish delis serving up bagels and a schmear to sophisticated fine dining that has earned multiple Michelin stars, and everything you could possibly want in between. There is also abundant shopping and a vibrant nightlife.
