159-34 Riverside Dr W

A mid-century co-op completed in 1941, this seven-story elevator building contains 17 primarily two-bedroom residences arranged around landscaped courtyards and garden plots. The limestone-and-brick façade and tall windows recall prewar proportions while interiors emphasize generous room sizes, high ceilings and classical details. Typical apartments include foyer or gallery entries, eat-in or windowed kitchens, separate dining areas or dens, and large closets; many homes have been renovated with modern kitchens, updated baths, and refinished hardwood floors while retaining traditional moldings and substantial ceiling heights. Shared spaces are oriented toward community and convenience: a planted courtyard and garden, an events/party room, on-site laundry, private storage and a fitness room. Building services are full-service — a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, multiple porters and an in-house management office — and resident amenities include an indoor parking garage, bike storage and on-site private parking. Practical policies allow in-unit washers/dryers and one dog per shareholder with breed restrictions; the co-op has implemented green initiatives such as solar panels and composting and offers bulk-rate utilities. Located along Riverside Drive in Washington Heights’ Audubon/Upper Manhattan pocket, the property provides immediate access to the Hudson River Greenway, Fort Washington Park and the 1 train, combining riverfront views and outdoor recreation with strong building services and low-maintenance ownership.
