Property Description for 159-34 Riverside Drive West, 5-A

14 WINDOWS OVERLOOKING THE HUDSON RIVER AND GWB Perfection everywhere the eye can see. This spectacular, corner 3 bedroom home has been reconceived and gut-renovated from the studs out. The result is a fabulous loft-like space with industrial features amid bucolic, protected views from every window adding nature and warmth. A dramatic 44 ft expanse from dining to living room takes center stage in this stunning light-flooded home with panoramic views and breathtaking sunsets. The flow throughout this entertaining space is ideal for cocktail parties, dinner parties or large family gatherings. The top-of-the-line kitchen features a Viking induction range, Miele dishwasher and refrigerator, Marble counters, wine cooler, glass-front upper cabinetry and a stainless vessel sink overlooking the Hudson River. 2 of the 3 bedrooms are generous enough to serve as a Primary bedroom suite while the 3rd bedroom boasts 3 windows and gorgeous corner exposure. The largest bedroom has a separate annex with Miele W/D and Elfa closets. This open area would also serve as an additional quiet home-work area. Adjacent is the main bathroom featuring a deep soaking tub with glass sliding doors, Scarabeo and Duravit fixtures and porcelain tile floors. What is currently serving as the Primary bedrooms boasts GWB views, double exposure plus a Marble en suite bathroom with step-in shower, Scarabeo sink and Duravit toilet. Additional things of note are all new electric, skim-coated walls with new baseboard moldings, all new solid wood doors and hardware, exposed steel beams, radiator covers and metal door frames that have been stripped to reveal their metal patina, refurbished original hardwood floors, new lighting, and ceiling fans. Situated in the River Arts, the premiere full-service doorman building in the Audubon Triangle of Washington Heights. This divinely situated building overlooking the Hudson River is beautifully landscaped and attended by a full-time doorman. Amenities include indoor parking for only $240 per month, a gym ($120/year/person), bike storage ($60/bike/year), 24/7 laundry room, storage cages ($60/month), a resident Super plus 3 porters, an events/party room and a bucolic backyard that spans 2 blocks peppered with quiet seating areas and meandering paths.

The building allows in-unit W/D and one dog per shareholder apartment (with certain breed restrictions). Moments away from the #1 train plus easy access to the Henry Hudson, the GWB and all major Metropolitan roadways. This vibrant neighborhood offers wonderful new local eateries, markets, coffee houses and after-work hangs. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy direct and easy access to the Hudson River Greenway, a beautiful, dedicated bikeway along the river plus Fort Washington Park just at the bottom of the hill which has been refurbished with volleyball courts, soccer fields, modern playgrounds, handball, tennis and more. The River Arts is proud to be the first building in Audubon Park to go Green with the installation of Solar Panels and Composting! A rare find in upper Manhattan, this home will dazzle and embrace you all at once. Note there is an assessment of $458.56/month ending 12/31/2026 for LL11 and Garage repairs.

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.
