790 Riverside Dr Unit 6E New York City, NY 10032

Apartment 6E at 790 Riverside Drive is spacious, with a Park Avenue apartment kind of flow--and size--,not<br> what you might expect to find in a coop on 157th Street in<br> lower Washington Heights, aka the Audubon Park Historic District. With<br> predominantly north facing windows, it looks above the rooftops of the building<br> across the street with magical city views and affords sightings of the George<br> Washington bridge.<br> The apartment has three bedrooms, two of which are currently furnished as libraries, two full<br> bathrooms and another half bath which houses the vented washer/dryer. There are<br> several unusually large public spaces, There's the huge living room (once laid<br> out as a study and a side-by-side parlor), a full-sized dining room and a<br> very gracious entry leading to a foyer that feels like a space in an art<br> gallery. The very ample kitchen has a Sub Zero refrigerator, a Viking<br> stove, a Bosch dishwasher and a universe of storage cabinets.<br> There are two additional office spaces not shown in the photographs, originally staff<br> bedrooms, one off the kitchen, and the other next to the laundry room. (see<br> floorplan.) You can hide in this apartment, and it would be very tough to<br> find you. <br> Similarly grand is the building lobby, a block-long and clad in marble, with a doorman station<br> at one end of it and a wheel-chair accessible door. The landmarked building has<br> 24 -hour doormen, a live-in super, t handymen and porters. On the lobby<br> level there's a package room, a laundry room, lockers and bike<br> storage. The tree-filled neighborhood with meandering streets is<br> sprouting restaurants, home-grown cafes, and bakeries and boasts increasingly<br> open and friendly cultural institutions, including the Hispanic Society Museum<br> and the American Academy of Arts and Letters, both of which now offer changing<br> exhibitions and public performances, and are only a block from the back door of<br> the Riviera. There is good transportation: the #1 train is a block away, the C<br> and A trains are also nearby, as are the 4 and 5 bus. N-Y Presbyterian hospital<br> and Columbia Medical Center are in the immediate neighborhood and City College<br> and Columbia's Manhattanville campus are in a slightly farther away. The<br> Hudson River Greenway down the street with its sports fields, playground and<br> tennis courts, and there's also Riverbank State Park with an Olympic-sized<br> pool, a track, skating and other facilities. <br> <br> /A
