Set high above Riverside Drive at 96th Street, this thoughtfully renovated one-bedroom sits on an upper floor of a full-service doorman high-rise on the Upper West Side. With eastern and northern exposure, the apartment enjoys open city views from the kitchen and living room, and a quiet, leafy outlook up Riverside Park toward the George Washington Bridge from the bedroom—an especially peaceful place to read or unwind. Warmly furnished with a mid-century aesthetic and excellent sound insulation, the space feels calm and private, offering a true sense of retreat once you step inside.

Renovated this summer, the apartment features updated floors and fixtures throughout. The living room is outfitted with true stereo surround sound, ideal for movies, music, or relaxed nights in, while brand-new wall-controlled PTAC units provide reliable heating and air conditioning year-round. The bedroom is designed for deep rest, with a California king Vispring mattress with horsehair topper, room-darkening and decorative automatic blinds, and newly installed acoustic wall panels. Additional highlights include Sony Bravia televisions, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Miele dishwasher, and a powerful shower with instant hot water. Premium towels and bedding complete the hotel-like experience.

The layout is open and intuitive, with generous closet space throughout. The apartment comes fully furnished and move-in ready. The kitchen is well equipped for everyday cooking, featuring a Vitamix blender and ample cookware, while coffee lovers will appreciate the Nespresso machine, electric frother, and Cuisinart gooseneck kettle paired with a Chemex setup.

The building is a well-maintained, full-service high-rise with a 24-hour doorman and on-site management. Amenities include a basement laundry room, optional laundry pickup and drop-off service, a residents’ gym, and a shared workspace. The apartment is accessible via elevator; please reach out with any specific accessibility questions.

The location offers the best of the Upper West Side. Riverside Park is just outside the front door, with uninterrupted paths for walking, running, or biking along the Hudson, while Central Park is a few blocks east. Two short blocks away, the 96th Street express 2/3 subway provides fast access downtown to Lincoln Center, Broadway, Chelsea, the High Line, and Greenwich Village, as well as uptown to Columbia University and Harlem. The neighborhood is walkable and residential, with excellent grocery options nearby—including Zabar’s and Trader Joe’s—alongside cafes, restaurants, and longtime neighborhood favorites.

This apartment is an ideal home base for a single person or a couple seeking a calm, well-appointed place to live while remaining deeply connected to the city—quiet when you need it, and effortlessly accessible when you don’t.

About This Lister

I’m an actress who currently lives in Los Angeles, and I’m the owner of the apartment. The Upper West Side has been my neighborhood for years, and this is a home I genuinely love and take pride in. I’m the primary point of contact for the space, and no brokers are involved. I hope it offers you the same sense of ease and comfort it has always given me.
