Property Description
NEW MARKET PRICE: COME TO THE HEIGHTS!!
RIVER VIEWS-GREAT SUNSETS! CONDO CONVERTIBLE 3/2 BTHS SPACIOUS: 1,503 SF BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED KITCHEN--ADDED WORK ISLAND, MARBLE COUNTERS, UPGRADED APPLIANCES RENOV BATHS BRIGHT & LIGHT TONS OF STORAGE (PLUS DEDICATED LARGE STORAGE LOCKER AVAILABLE) HIGH-QUALITY SOUND-REDUCING WINDOWS BLDG: GARAGE, PET-FRIENDLY, LAUNDRY, STORAGE, CONVENIENT TO TRANSPORTATION, AUDUBON HISTORIC DISTRICT; PIED-A-TERRES, SUBLET, CO-PURCHASE ALLOWED GREAT RIVER VIEWS & SUNSETS!
As you enter into the foyer of this Rarely-Available 2-bed/Convertible-3 Bedroom, 2-Bath Condominium home you are immediately impressed with its Views of the Hudson -- both the Living Room & Main Bedroom look over the Hudson out to New Jersey -- and its unexpected "Roomie-ness," with the "Roomie-ness" coming from the "H"-line having the Largest Apartments in the building. Nice and Spacious.
Coming through the Foyer (which has been upgraded with a custom-built coat closet) is the Kitchen on your right. The Beautifully Renovated Kitchen has a Custom, Generously-Sized Island, equipped with Storage on both sides. Both the Island and the rest of the kitchen are graced with Marble Counters, and you will benefit from High-Quality appliances for preparing meals.
Moving past the kitchen takes you into the Spacious Dining area which flows into the Comfortable-Feeling Living Room, with its Hudson River Views.
The en-suite Main Bedroom (remember those lovely water views!) has Two Full Closets and more than enough room for a King-sized Bed plus Bureaus/desks. The "en-suite" Bath is beautifully and tastefully Renovated, as is the second lovingly Renovated Bath which boasts high-end Pfister fixtures.
Also off the dining area is a Large Library/Den, and between the library/den and Main Bedroom is the Second, smaller Bedroom. The library/den has a beautiful Tin Ceiling, originally salvaged from a South Carolina home, and Timbered Shelving rescued from a Queens factory, ready for your book collection.
As an added bonus: The River-facing windows are equipped with Highest-Quality Sound-Proofing Windows.
The building itself, half of the two-building complex known as The John James Condominium, includes 775 Riverside Drive. It is located on the site of the original Audubon Family Farm, in the distinctive Audubon Historic District. It has amenities that include Elevator, Central Laundry and live-in Super. There is also a building-accessible Parking Garage (monthly fee) -- a luxury in NYC; Deeded Private Storage -- available for sale; and Bicycle Storage. The building allows Pied-a-Terres, Subletting, purchasing with/by parents, and is Pet-Friendly. Assessment for Local Law 11 work paid by seller.
The John James is across from Riverside Park, and two blocks from the 1 train (157th street stop), with the "A"-train at the 163rd street stop and the "C"-train at 155th St., along with several bus lines. Its neighbors are NY Presbyterian Hospital, City College, the fabulous Hispanic Society Museum, and Library and Columbia University, and a vibrant commercial corridor with restaurants, coffee-houses, groceries and other amenities.
And -- at the end of the day -- there are those Great Sunsets!
