From the listing

This well-proportioned one-bedroom is set within a classic prewar Riverside Drive elevator building, offering a comfortable layout and timeless character. Upon entry, there is a defined area that works well as a small home office or study nook—ideal for remote work or a dedicated drop zone before stepping into the main living space. The generously sized living area easily accommodates both lounging and dining, making it well-suited for everyday living or entertaining. The separate bedroom comfortably fits a queen-size bed and additional furnishings, and the apartment offers ample closet space throughout. Prewar details and solid construction lend the home a quiet, substantial feel, while the thoughtful layout allows for flexible furnishing options and efficient use of space. The kitchen is efficiently designed with good cabinet storage and classic finishes, providing a practical workspace without sacrificing character. Located along scenic Riverside Drive, the building is moments from Riverbank State Park, the Hudson River greenways, neighborhood shops, and convenient transportation. This is an excellent opportunity to live in a well-maintained, established building in one of Upper Manhattan’s most picturesque residential corridors.

21 rent-stabilized apartments

The city’s June 2026 property tax bill lists 21 of the building’s 41 apartments as registered rent-stabilized. It doesn’t say which ones, so ask the lister whether this one is. If it is, its lease must include the state’s rent stabilization rider, and once you live there you can ask the state for its rent history.

Public records from NYC Open Data and the MTA, as of October 19, 2026. Class C violations are immediately hazardous and class B hazardous.
