706 Riverside Drive is an exceptional piece of New York real estate offered in the Washington Heights neighborhood. The building was designed by the famed Emery Roth, the same architect who designed some of Manhattan's grandest buildings, including San Remo and Beresford. Although the art nouveau building has been completely renovated, it still retains its original copper eaves. The renovation provided the residences with many modern conveniences and high-end fixtures and finishes.
The house has two entrances. The first is through the main entry foyer, which houses two large closets and opens into the large living/dining room space. The second entrance, originally a service entrance, opens to the eat-in kitchen. The windowed kitchen offers stunning views of the Hudson River and Riverside Park and features stainless steel appliances and sleek granite countertops. Home blends old and new with beautiful high ceilings with custom crown molding, refinished hardwood floors, and new modern appliances. The bathrooms are also fully renovated.
The building offers some advantages to tempt the prospective tenant. The building offers elevator service to all floors and has a laundry facility on the first floor, which residents can access at any time. There is a part-time lobby attendant and an in-house superintendent to attend to the needs of the residents.
There are few New York locations as centrally located as 706 Riverside Drive. The residence is located in the charming Hamilton Heights section of Harlem, on a green street lined with many historic row houses. It is situated just steps from Riverbank Park and is just two blocks from the 1 train.
