Property Description for 70 Riverside Drive, 1-J

TRUE SECOND FLOOR! Sunny two bedroom/two bath home in a prime UWS location. Apartments rarely come available in this charming boutique co-op. This bright and airy home boasts a gracious layout, great light, hardwood floors, amazing closet space, and a private storage unit. From the moment you step into the large entry foyer, you will feel the warmth emanating from every room. Off the foyer is a wonderful dining area, large enough for a table for 10. It leads into the light-filled and spacious living room with lovely views of the tree-lined edge of Riverside Park. The windowed kitchen has ample cabinet space, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. The primary bedroom is a corner room with Riverside Park view from both windows and boasts an enormous closet. The oversized primary bath is right off the bedroom and has a soaking tub, pedestal sink and is spa-like. The second bedroom has a renovated en-suite bath, generous closet and is flooded with morning light from the east-facing window. The view is of a lovely green space with planted flowers. The building has a laundry room, bike room, and storage in the basement as well as playroom and live-in resident manager. The 24-hour security is shared between a security company and a part-time doorman from 4pm- midnight daily. Parking is also available in the building. Built in 1951, and converted to a full service cooperative in 1980, this 7 story building has 54 homes and 2 elevators. The building's location is near all the best the UWS has to offer: restaurants, cafes, shopping, schools, close to bus and subway stops, across the street from Riverside Park and just a few blocks to Central Park.

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.
