Property Description for 70 Riverside Drive, 2-E

Set along coveted Riverside Drive and directly across from Riverside Park, this expansively proportioned corner two-bedroom, two-bath home offers exceptional scale, functionality, beautiful light from its dual South and West exposures, and an elegant pre-war feeling in a post-war co-op. Rarely available in this boutique coop and thoughtfully laid out, the sunswept home combines gracious living with a convenient split-bedroom layout and also comes with additional basement storage unit. A welcoming entry foyer introduces the sprawling space with a true dining area that opens to the oversized living room – over 21' in length – and treetop views. The windowed kitchen has been classically updated with ample warm wood cabinetry, generous beautiful stone counter space, and stainless appliances throughout. Both bedrooms feature en suite windowed baths, offering privacy and flexibility – the spacious corner primary suite is filled with light and has an Elfa-outfitted walk-in closet while the secondary bedroom is well-sized with a similarly organized closet. Warm hardwood floors run throughout and the home has stellar closet space, including an extra large entry walk-in that could easily double as an office / work space. This well-established full-service cooperative offers a part-time doorman from 4pm - midnight and attended lobby the remaining hours, live-in resident manager, playroom, bike room, laundry facilities, private storage, and on-site parking garage. Moments from the best of the Upper West Side, residents enjoy immediate access to Riverside Park, the Hudson River waterfront, playgrounds, and the neighborhood’s vibrant dining and shopping destinations, with convenient access to museums, theaters, schools, cafes, subway lines, crosstown buses, and the West Side Highway.

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.
