552 Riverside Drive 1A offers a rare combination of light, park views, and prewar charm--plus a spectacular building roof deck!

Located directly across from Riverside Park, with nothing but greenery beyond your windows, this beautiful one-bedroom offers a rare sense of openness and calm. Well above street level, the apartment enjoys both privacy and a unique connection to the landscape outside.

A welcoming entry hall sets the tone, offering a great space for artwork. Along the hall you'll find two generous closets (one customized) plus your video intercom. The windowed bathroom is also off the hall and features crisp white tiles and modern updates throughout. At the end of the hall, a flexible nook provides space for a work/study area or additional storage.

The living room is filled with light, with two windows facing the park, both framed by restored original wood trim. High ceilings, hardwood floors, and built-in shelving add warmth and character.

The eat-in kitchen features newer stainless appliances by GE, including a dishwasher and gas stove. An oversized window looks onto the interior courtyard garden, with a large sill that's the perfect spot for herbs and plants.

The bedroom is generously sized, also with park views, and offers plenty of room for bedroom furniture and a workspace. A third large closet is just outside the bedroom.
