Description

Come experience this iconic Beaux-Arts building and its one-of-a-kind two-bedroom, two-bath corner unit with an elegant home office and a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.
Perched on the top floor of the building, this apartment features oversized, arched windows with expansive views overlooking the Hudson River and the West Side Highway. As soon as you enter, you are captivated by mesmerizing natural light and dramatic views.

One can experience an immersive experience, not by the artificiality of AI, but by the sheer natural and authentic fact that the Hudson River and its surroundings visually overwhelm you, so that it allows you to become part of the ambiance. Poetry? Exaggeration maybe, but come and see -- and decide -- for yourself. It’s a truly immersive experience. The endless skies and the unobstructed Hudson River views captivate and immerse you in an unforgettable, truly memorable experience.

You must see it to believe it. This is a true home, where you can live, relax and entertain.
Features include pre-war details, high ceilings, in-laid hardwood floors throughout, a decorative fireplace, and a fully equipped kitchen with contemporary stainless steel appliances, D/W, and Washer/Dryer.
This extraordinary masonry building was built in 1911 and designed by the architectural team of Rouse and Goldstone in the Beaux-Arts style.

More than 100 years old, The Riviera has its original, ornamental, and architectural details intact, a 13-story structure located between 156 & 157 Streets.
The Riviera is a full-service doorman building with a laundry room, bike room, and individual storage bins. The co-op allows purchases by parents and co-purchasers.

Pet-friendly.
Convenient transportation is available with the nearby No. 1 train at 157th Street, the C train at 155th Street, and the M4, M5, BX6, and the Columbia University shuttle buses on the Broadway corner. Affordable parking and Zipcar are available in the neighborhood, with quick auto access at 158th Street to the West Side Highway and the George Washington Bridge.
