The John James Condominium 156-08 Riverside Drive W, 3H

As you enter into the foyer of this Rarely-Available 2-bed/Convertible-3 Bedroom, 2-Bath Condominium home you are immediately impressed with its Views of the Hudson — both the Living Room & Main Bedroom look over the Hudson out to New Jersey — and its unexpected “Roomie-ness,” with the ””Roomie-ness”” coming from the “H”-line having the Largest Apartments in the building. Nice and Spacious.

Coming through the Foyer (which has been upgraded with a custom-built coat closet) is the Kitchen on your right. The Beautifully Renovated Kitchen has a Custom, Generously-Sized Island, equipped with Storage on both sides. Both the Island and the rest of the kitchen are graced with Marble Counters, and you””ll benefit from High-Quality appliances for preparing meals.

Moving past the kitchen takes you into the Spacious Dining area which flows into the Comfortable-Feeling Living Room, with its Hudson River Views.

The en-suite Main Bedroom (remember those lovely water views!) has Two Full Closets and more than enough room for a King-sized Bed plus Bureaus/desks. The ””en-suite”” Bath is beautifully and tastefully Renovated, as is the second lovingly Renovated Bath which boasts high-end Pfister fixtures.

Also off the dining area is a Large Library/Den, and between the library/den and Main Bedroom is the Second, smaller Bedroom. The library/den has a beautiful Tin Ceiling, originally salvaged from a South Carolina home, and Timbered Shelving rescued from a Queens factory, ready for your book collection.

As an added bonus: The River-facing windows are equipped with Highest-Quality Sound-Proofing Windows.

It is located on the site of the original Audubon Family Farm, in the distinctive Audubon Historic District. It has amenities that include Elevator, Central Laundry and live-in Super.
