At this aerie over Spuyten Duyvil it’s all about the spectacular view
W
as it worth it to take the trouble to build the Riverpointe-on-the-Hudson condominium on such a difficult site with little more than a cliffside for purchase? One look from the balcony or any of the windows in Apartment 11A will give you an answer and it’s a resounding “yes.” Panoramic views take in the stately arch of the Henry Hudson Bridge, the Hudson River, the Palisades and the Harlem River — all framed by tree-covered parks in Riverdale and Manhattan. And the floor plan of the two-bedroom, two-full-bath unit is designed to take maximum advantage of the view, with a large, loft-like living area encompassing plenty
of space for a formal dining area and a gourmet kitchen with a granite-topped island, stainless appliances and a commodious pantry. The master bedroom features an ensuite bath and a large walk-in closet. Amenities in the pet-friendly building include a full-time concierge, indoor parking, a gym, private storage, laundry on each floor and private outdoor space. According to exclusive brokers Barbara Field and Fred Golden of Prudential Douglas Elliman, the price has recently been reduced to $574,000, with carrying charges of $601 and monthly real estate taxes of $316. With no board approval necessary and no transfer taxes, the 1,127-square-foot home is ready for a quick closing.
