Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
At 265 Riverside Drive, an 11-story elevator cooperative with 75 units, the building sits in the Riverside-West End Historic District Extension II and has a bike room, cold storage and laundry in the building. Unit 9D is a one-bedroom, one-bath corner home on a high floor, and the living room and bedroom both have river views through large double windows.
The entrance foyer leads into a 21-foot living room, and a separate dining room beside it gives you room for a formal table as well as everyday seating. The dining room opens into a windowed kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a new five-burner range, a built-in microwave and a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher. I like that the kitchen is set apart enough to cook in without losing the living room.
The 11-foot ceilings and refinished original blonde oak floors keep the prewar character of the home. Ceilings that height add volume and give you more ways to arrange furniture, though they don't make a floor plan work on their own. The Art Deco bathroom keeps its original tilework and has a reglazed steel tub.
The 17-foot bedroom has its own Hudson River views and two walk-in closets, and the apartment has five closets in total. A home office alcove with built-in bookcases and cabinets below keeps work in one place without cutting into the open living area. The washer and dryer are inside the apartment, which saves a trip to the building's laundry room.
Warm western light comes through in the afternoon. A west-facing window can get direct sun from about 1:11 PM to 8:07 PM on the summer solstice and from about 1:15 PM to 6:32 PM at the fall equinox, though nearby buildings can block it.
The building has a part-time doorman from 4 PM to midnight, seven days a week, along with a live-in superintendent and a full-time porter, and pets are allowed. Riverside Park is about one minute away on foot, the Hudson is about 0.2 miles off, and the 96 St station is about seven minutes on foot. The Health Nuts and Westside Market are each about four minutes away.
