244 Riverside Drive   Unit 1H

Claim your corner of the Upper West Side! Now, on Riverside Drive, across the street from Riverside Park and near the 96th street express train stop (2,3), is a true four-room with soaring 12' ceilings. The first-floor apartment faces east, to the co-operative's courtyard, which provides a quiet experience. Pre-war details dating to 1906 -- beautiful oversized arched windows, original doorways, and moldings -- add to the unit's charm. Large kitchen with Euro style cabinets, a breakfast bar, and stainless-steel appliances (including an LG dishwasher) can be used as is, or you can renovate within the footprint to create your own dream EIK. The windowed tiled bathroom has a full-size tub.
Principal bedroom has a corner exposure, allowing for south and east light, and large closets with additional transom storage. The smaller bedroom currently has a lofted sleeping platform; it is easy to use the area under the platform as a study nook or a play space. Cooling is provided by window A/C units complemented by ceiling fans which take advantage of the apartment's height.
Sorry no W/D allowed in-unit, but the building has a full, clean laundry room in the basement, where there's also bike storage and extra storage. (Currently no wait list.) A helpful live-in super, a responsive management company, a video intercom, an elevator, and a 'lending library' of your neighbors' books complete the picture -- this is a pleasant co-op in a wonderful location. 80% financing allowed; 1% transfer fee payable by seller.
Pied--terre OK; sorry no dogs. Parents can buy with children (parents must be on the stock and lease). Listing price $699,000; maintenance is a reasonable $1,504.95. Easy to show; call today!
