440 Riverside Drive, 105

No backyard? No problem! Imagine living in the iconic Paterno with Riverside Park only a few steps away. This lovely, two-bedroom gem offers an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, dining nook and large pantry. Located on the 10th floor, this quiet retreat provides an abundance of prewar details that include beautiful hardwood floors, wood moldings and ample closet space. This rambling beauty has soaring nine-and-a-half foot ceilings, excellent light and lots of original detail. The Paterno stands proudly among the grand, architecturally significant residential buildings that line Riverside Drive. Built in 1909 and designed by Schwartz & Gross, it is considered a NYC architectural jewel with its curved facade, elegant lobby and grand porte-cochere. This amenity filled co-op provides 24-hour doorman, Resident Manager, laundry, storage unit (comes with the apartment!) and bicycle room as well as a breathtaking roof deck! Pets, in-unit washer-dryers, pieds-à-terre, parents buying for children, co-purchasing, guarantors and 75% financing are permitted with board approval. Riverside Park serves as your backyard, offering a quiet escape from the city. However, the location also leaves Manhattan at your fingertips since it’s conveniently located one block from the 1 train subway station on Broadway. This active neighborhood also offers many dining, cultural and educational venues including Columbia University, Barnard College, and Manhattan School of Music.
