Property Description for 244 Riverside Drive, 6-I
A proper entryway with large closet and built-in bench welcomes you and provides wonderful storage upon entering this home. Leading into the great room, coveted pre-war details like 11' high ceilings and original hardwood floors have been enhanced by an open floorplan incorporating a newly renovated kitchen that compliments the original style with warm grey cabinetry, stone countertops, subway tile backsplash and new appliances.
In the living area, enjoy direct Western views looking onto the treetops of Riverside Park. Built-in bookshelves and an antique mantle anchor the room providing storage as well as design.
The windowed-bathroom was also renovated at the same time as the kitchen and has charming details like marble penny tiled floors, antique decorative tiles and chrome hardware. The bedroom is ample in size, could easily fit a king-sized bed and boasts a corner closet. For additional storage this unit has a Storage Unit that transfers with sale.
Sitting on Riverside Park's doorstep, shareholders enjoy walkways, bike paths, sports courts and the River at their front door. This mid-sized coop boasts a live-in Super, central laundry, bike room and storage.
Just a few blocks to the 96th Street 1, 2 and 3 trains, the M5 bus stop out front and easy access to the West Side Highway, 244 Riverside Drive is easily accessible to all parts of the City and beyond making it perfect for a primary resident or a pied a terre. Co-Purchasing OK. Sublet policy is 2 out of 5 years after living in the unit for 2 years. Sorry, no dogs but the building does allow cats.

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.
