The building's highlights include a 24-hour doorperson, live-in resident manager, laundry, storage, bike storage, and one of the most beautiful residential lobbies in New York. Overlooking the southern side of the building toward West 156th Street, the home receives excellent sunlight all day from its position near the corner of Riverside Drive. It even has a view of the Hudson River. With contemporary finishes in the kitchen and bathroom, the home also enjoys lovely pre-War details, including high ceilings, hardwood parquet floors, and crown moldings. The home is wonderful for entertaining, with a 23-foot-long living/dining room just off the foyer, which also connects to the home's office nook. A large walk-in entry closet sits off the foyer. The updated kitchen features Carrara marble countertops and backsplash, abundant custom cabinetry, and top-of-the-line appliances. The enormous bedroom easily fits a king-size bed plus room for a sitting area or second desk. It has two large, connected walk-in closets. Between the living/dining room and the bedroom is the alcove that perfectly houses a home office. The windowed bathroom features natural stone tiles and an Italian marble vanity, along with an oversized soaking tub, and great ventilation. The Riviera is one of upper Riverside Drive's most coveted pre-War co-operatives. Built in 1911 by Rouse & Goldstone, this grand Beaux-Arts style masonry building is located at 790 Riverside Drive on the corner of West 157th Street, in the landmarked Audubon Park Historic District, known for its curving tree-lined streets and beautiful gated gardens. The Riviera is a 13-story, full-service elevator building with a 24-hour doorperson, live-in resident manager, and a palatial lobby clad in marble and pre-war detail. The building's amenities include a laundry room, storage units, and bike storage. Surrounded by the vibrant neighborhoods of Washington and Hamilton Heights, the building is proximate to the neighborhoods' beloved restaurants, shopping, cultural institutions (including the American Academy of Arts and Letters and Hispanic Society Museum & Library), and parks (including the Hudson River Greenway, Fort Washington Park, and Riverbank State Park).
