Residence 12F is a beautifully proportioned one-bedroom, one-bathroom home offering a rare blend of privacy, scale, and enduring pre-war elegance. A gracious gallery opens to an expansive living room with ample space for dining and entertaining, while a beautifully arched hallway leads to the oversized eat-in kitchen, featuring extensive storage, stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, a windowed breakfast nook, and additional space for dining or a pantry. In-unit washer/dryer installation is permitted with board approval. The serene king-sized bedroom easily accommodates a full suite of furnishings and enjoys lovely natural light throughout the day. A bright windowed bathroom retains its original charm 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—along with a wall of original built-ins with overhead storage. Hardwood floors, 9.5-foot ceilings, picture-frame moldings, and beamed ceilings further enhance the home’s timeless character. The Riviera is a landmarked Beaux Arts cooperative built in 1910, distinguished by its striking marble lobby, hand-painted coffered ceilings, three entrances, full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry, handymen, and porters. Located in the Audubon Park Historic District directly across from Riverside Park, the building is one block from the 1 train, one stop from the A/C trains at 168th Street and Columbia University Medical Center, and moments from the Henry Hudson Parkway for convenient access in and out of the city. Pets, co-purchasing, guarantors, parental purchasing, pied-à-terre ownership, and in-unit washer/dryer installation are permitted with board approval. A monthly assessment of $374 is in place through December 2026, which the seller will pay in full at closing.

R8
Medium-Density Non-Contextual Residence District
Apartment buildings in R8 districts can range from mid-rise, eight- to ten-story buildings to much taller buildings set back from the street on large zoning lots. This high density residential district is mapped along the Grand Concourse in the Bronx and on the edge of Brooklyn Heights. R8 districts are also widely mapped in Manhattan neighborhoods, such as Washington Heights. New buildings in R8 districts may be developed under either height factor regulations or the optional Quality Housing regulations that often reflect the older, pre-1961 neighborhood streetscape.
