Property Description for 531 Main Street, 707
Welcome to Apt. 707, a very special Rivercross 1-BR, 1.5- bath home, as light, bight and spacious as they come; at approx. 950 sq. ft., large enough to convert to a comfortable 2-BR, 2-full bath in the coveted "07" line in the Orange wing. Glorious south/west light, tree-top views, generous and pristine space. Ceilings and walls have been scraped and painted, smooth, soothing and welcoming. Parquet floors, lightly sanded and refinished, all rooms Clean-as-a-Whistle, to your sense of the calm, relaxed, open space you'll love coming home to.
In addition to approx. 950 sq. ft. of luxurious living space, you'll find generous closets in every room, even the powder room, seven in all including a large walk-in storage closet off the foyer. The Living Room and Bedroom, both with new, oversized south/west-facing casement windows , are flooded with natural light throughout the day. There is a galley pass-through kitchen, half-bath/powder room for guests, and full bath ensuite with shower and tub, all of which have had cosmetic upgrades, but none fully renovated.
Rivercross is the original, and for 39 years the only Coop on Roosevelt Island, exceptionally well-managed and beautifully maintained, deserving of its reputation as the "premier Roosevelt Island Coop." Residents enjoy and visitors admire the luxuriously open spaces on the Lobby floor, views of the fabulous, 60'x30' indoor pool with saunas, 19 residential floors with extra wide, well-lit corridors, double height elevator lobbies, oversized windows and river views! In addition to the 60' x 30' year-round swimming pool, the vast array of amenities includes a recently-renovated two-level state-of-the-art fitness center, renovated playroom, full-time doorman, attended package room for deliveries, bike room and community room. Low monthly maintenance, 75% tax-deductible, includes: amenities (pool, fitness center, playroom); Utilities (A/C, heat, hot water, electricity, gas) and real estate taxes. The building allows Co-purchasing, pied-a-terre purchases and up to 80% financing; the coop does not permit Smoking, Dogs or in-unit Washer/Dryers.
If you're looking for that perfect first apartment to purchase, thinking of down-sizing or know someone who is, Apt. 707 is a Must See! All showings are By Appointment Only; be sure to schedule yours soon, by email or text.
Note: all rooms are Virtually Staged.

Roosevelt Island | Manhattan
Quick Profile
Roosevelt Island is somewhat of an enigma to most New Yorkers. Ask just about anybody and the response you will get is somewhat quizzical. They generally know the location, unless of course, they confuse it with one of the other islands that dot the East River, and that one arrives at the island via the bright red tram that strings across the river from an elevated platform at 59th Street and Second Avenue. But to those who live on this small island enclave, home is bliss and they would prefer to keep their secret to themselves.
Roosevelt Island is only two blocks wide but extends almost two miles long (from 46th Street to 85th Street on the East Side). There is a waterfront promenade, shared by walkers and bikers alike, that encircles the entire island. There are very few cars, no need for the locals to drive, except maybe to the Gristedes mega-supermarket on the north end of the island. There is a red bus, free to all, that continuously loops from one end of the island to the other.
Aside from the glorious promenade, the island has an inordinate number of parks, ball fields, t playgrounds, and open areas to just sit and relax. There is even a large community garden offering individual plots to amateur horticulturists. Tranquility is always just a moment away. And of course, you just can’t stop watching the barges that effortlessly pass by the island throughout the day.
There is a deep sense of community among the 12,000 or more residents of the island. The residential component, excluding the Cornell Tech component, consists of four areas, each on the north side of the Queensboro Bridge. Upon exiting the tram, one spills out onto Main Street (almost like arriving at Disney World) and is presented with nine buildings that align both sides of the street. These modern structures, the first of which opened in 2003, are architecturally pleasing and surrounded by green space and beautiful landscaping. The older housing structures, further south, are far more utilitarian.
Access to the island has never been better. Yes, for those who don’t know, you can even drive here if you must via the Roosevelt Island Bridge from 36th Avenue in Queens. The island is also accessible by subway, bus and ferry service.
If there is one drawback, it is the limited selection of stores and restaurants. While the island provides residents with the essentials, the lack of a truly sustainable retail presence has been a downer.
