Property Description for 555 Main Street, 1514
There's something especially appealing about having room to spread out in New York City, particularly when that space comes with beautiful Manhattan skyline and East River views. 555 Main Street, Apartment 1514 at Island House is a fully renovated, move-in ready, three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom duplex with a washer & dryer and external storage space - offering generous proportions, abundant natural light, and a thoughtful two-level layout that makes everyday living remarkably comfortable.
The main level features a bright living room with sweeping city and river views, an open, windowed kitchen with stone countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a generous breakfast bar. A separate dining area, equally suited as a den or additional sitting room, adds flexibility. Downstairs, all three bedrooms are comfortably separated from the main living spaces, including a spacious primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Beautifully renovated bathrooms, hardwood floors, excellent closet space, and an in-unit washer/dryer complete this move-in-ready home.
Island House, an established Roosevelt Island co-op at 555 Main Street, offers 24-hour doorman service, a fitness center, landscaped courtyard, bike storage, laundry facilities, and additional resident amenities. Residents also have the option of accessing the neighboring Westview indoor pool for a modest annual fee.
Roosevelt Island waterfront living offers something genuinely different: beautiful parks, waterfront walking and biking paths, neighborhood conveniences, and a wonderful sense of community, all remarkably close to Manhattan. With the subway, iconic Roosevelt Island Tram, NYC Ferry, and free island Red Bus, getting around is easy. It's a little more room to live, with the city right at your doorstep.

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.
