This wonderful two-bedroom apartment in burgeoning Hamilton Heights offers peace and quiet while being perfectly situated near shopping, dining, transportation, and Riverside Park right across the street.

Classic prewar charm—complete with beautiful strip hardwood floors—meets modern comfort in this airy home. The sunny, windowed galley kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops, tile floors, and full-size appliances, including a dishwasher. A windowed bathroom with granite flooring and a tub/shower combo completes the picture. Built on Riverside Drive, this boutique six-story elevator building features just 35 units and a live-in super.
