Dobro došli u ovaj prekrasan jednosobni stan s jednom kupaonicom, površine 885 četvornih stopa, na 14. katu zgrade Riverwalk Court, s prozorima od poda do stropa na dvije strane te blistavim pogledom na East River i most. Stanovi poput ovoga rijetko se pojavljuju na tržištu. A kada se pojave, odmah shvatite zašto.

Kutni dnevni boravak širine 18 stopa u stanu br. 14D ono je po čemu se ovaj stan ističe. Dva zida s prozorima od poda do stropa unose svjetlost iz dva smjera, a s ove visine pogled se pruža preko mosta Queensboro, East Rivera i obrisa Upper East Sidea na način koji očarava. Ovo je prostor o kojem razmišljate kada niste kod kuće.

Blagovaonica se nalazi odmah uz dnevni boravak, izdvojena iz kuta širine 10 stopa, s nesmetanim pogledom prema prozorima. Iza nje je otvorena kuhinja za chefa s granitnim radnim pločama, uređajima od nehrđajućeg čelika i količinom prostora za pohranu zbog koje se jednosobni stan doima kao pravi dom. Spavaća soba predstavlja mirno utočište: tiha je, odvojena od dnevnih prostora, s prostranim ormarima i mramornom kupaonicom. Ulazni hodnik stvara jasnu granicu između hodnika zgrade i stana. Tome dodajte kvalitetne podove od tvrdog drva, visoke stropove te perilicu i sušilicu rublja u stanu, i svakodnevni život ovdje postaje jednostavan.

Nedavna poboljšanja stana br. 14D uključuju nove podove od tvrdog drva postavljene u cijelom stanu, dodatnu električnu instalaciju za indukcijsko kuhalo, potpuno nove uređaje i nove rolete.

Riverwalk Court, dovršen 2008. godine, a izgradila ga je tvrtka Related Companies, perjanica je kompleksa Riverwalk s devet zgrada. Projektirali su ga Costas Kondylis and Partners s kaskadno oblikovanim tlocrtom i mnoštvom kutnih prozora, a rezultat je vidljiv u stanovima poput ovoga. Zgrada nudi potpunu uslugu: vratara i conciergea 24 sata dnevno, fitness-centar sa studijem za jogu, dječju igraonicu, salon za druženje i zabavu, krovnu terasu s pogledom od 360 stupnjeva, spremište za bicikle i prostoriju za pakete. Kućni ljubimci su dobrodošli.

Dugačak dvije milje i širok 800 stopa na najširem dijelu, Roosevelt Island smješten je u East Riveru između središnjeg Manhattana i Queensa. Više nalikuje malom gradu nego četvrti koja se slučajno nalazi unutar New Yorka. Stanovnici šeću riječnim šetalištem, voze bicikle zelenom kružnom stazom i provode vrijeme u parku FDR Four Freedoms, tiho izvanrednom memorijalu Louisa Kahna na južnom vrhu otoka. Kampus Cornell Tech otvoren je 2017. godine i donio je novu energiju otočnoj zajednici. Što se prijevoza tiče, linija F polazi sa stanice Roosevelt Island, a zračna žičara izravno povezuje otok s raskrižjem 60. ulice i Druge avenije za otprilike četiri minute. NYC Ferry nudi još jednu mogućnost. Za sve ostalo tu su Midtown East i Upper East Side, udaljeni svega nekoliko minuta, no stanovnici sve češće shvaćaju da im nisu potrebni onoliko koliko su očekivali.

Welcome home to this beautiful, 885sf one-bedroom, one bath home on the 14th floor of Riverwalk Court with floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides, and sparkling East River and bridge views. Apartments like this don't come up often. When they do, you understand immediately why.

The 18-foot corner living room in #14D is where this apartment announces itself. Two walls of floor-to-ceiling windows bring in light from two directions, and at this height the views sweep across the Queensboro Bridge, the East River, and the Upper East Side skyline in a way that mesmerizes. This is the room you think about when you're not home.

The dining area sits just off the living room, carved out from the corner at 10 feet wide, with a clear sightline through to the windows. Behind it, an open chef's kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and the kind of storage that makes a one-bedroom feel like a proper home. The bedroom is a retreat: quiet, separated from the living areas, with generous closet space and a marble bath. An entry foyer creates a real threshold between the hall and the apartment. Add in solid hardwood floors, high ceilings, and in-unit washer/dryer, and the daily experience of living here is easy.

Recent improvements to #14D include new hardwood flooring installed throughout, added electric line to support an induction stove, brand new appliances, and new window blinds.

Riverwalk Court, completed in 2008 and developed by Related Companies, is the flagship building in the nine-building Riverwalk complex. Costas Kondylis and Partners designed it with a stepped plan and abundant corner windows, and the results are evident in units like this one. The building runs full service: 24-hour doorman and concierge, a fitness center with yoga studio, children's playroom, entertainment lounge, roof deck with 360-degree views, bike storage, and a package room. Pets welcome.

Two miles long, 800 feet wide at its broadest, anchored in the East River between Midtown Manhattan and Queens, Roosevelt Island is less like a neighborhood and more like a small town that happens to sit inside New York City. Residents walk the riverfront promenade, bike the greenway loop, and spend time at FDR Four Freedoms Park, Louis Kahn's quietly extraordinary memorial at the island's southern tip. The Cornell Tech campus opened in 2017 and has brought more energy to the Island community. For transit, the F train runs from Roosevelt Island station, and the aerial tram connects directly to 60th and Second in about four minutes. The NYC Ferry adds another option. For everything else: Midtown East and the Upper East Side are minutes away, and increasingly, residents find they don't need them as much as they expected.
