415 Main St Apt 14D

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.
