790 Riverside Drive 12F

Residence 12F offеrs а rarе cοmbіnаtion of privасу, ѕcаle, and enduring pre-war elegance. Situated on the building’s top floor, the home feels quietly removed from the world below, with a gracious layout that flows effortlessly from room to room. Exceptional ceiling heights enhance the sense of volume, while classic pre-war details add charm and sophistication throughout. A welcoming gallery sets the tone and leads to an expansive living room with ample space for dining and entertaining. At the opposite end of the gallery, a beautifully arched hallway leads to the oversized eat-in kitchen, featuring extensive storage, stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, a windowed breakfast nook, and generous space for additional dining and a pantry. Washer/dryer installation is permitted with board approval. The serene, king-sized bedroom easily accommodates a full suite of furnishings and enjoys beautiful natural light throughout the day. The bright, windowed bathroom retains its original charm, complete with a cast-iron tub and porcelain sink. Storage is exceptional, with four large closets—including a walk-in currently used as a voiceover studio—and a wall of original built-ins with overhead storage. Beautifully maintained hardwood floors, 9.5-foot ceilings, crown moldings, transom windows, and beamed ceilings further enhance the home’s timeless character. The Riviera is a landmarked Beaux Arts cooperative built in 1910 by Rouse & Gladstone, featuring a striking marble lobby with hand-painted coffered ceilings, three entrances, a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry, handymen, and porters. Located in the Audubon Park Historic District near Riverside Park, the building is one block from the 1 train with a convenient commute to Midtown, one stop from the A/C trains at 168th Street and Columbia University Medical Center, and one block from the entrance to the Henry Hudson Parkway for easy access in and out of the city. Pets, co-purchasing, guarantors, parental purchasing, pied-à-terre ownership, and in-unit washer/dryer installation are all permitted. A monthly assessment of $374 is currently in place through December 2026.
