Welcome to this unforgettable waterfront one bedroom apartment located in the heart of Roosevelt Island. This apartment has breathtaking sunlight flooding through an open floor plan with oversized windows and has a panoramic view of the river and some of Manhattan's most recognizable skylines.
Apartment 8D is approximately 1,000 square feet and it's a 1 bedroom apartment that's spacious enough annd authorized by Manhattan to flex into a 2 bedroom if needed.
Not to mention, the apartment's floor plan is big enough to set up a home office. The living space features an open, light-filled layout that feels perfect for both relaxing and entertaining guests. The contemporary kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, including a gas range, dishwasher, and ample cabinetry for storage. 8D offers generous closet space throughout the home and it has a private balcony to enjoy morning coffee or unwind with breathtaking sunset views.
Smoking as per your lease agreement with Manhattan Park - allowed, yet apartment never smoked in. Pets allowed.
Residents can enjoy Manhattan Park and the building includes a 24-hour doorman and concierge. The building offers a 24 hour gym, a 14th Floor Rooftop sun deck w/panoramic views & barbecue grills and a stroll through a private ground-floor park, with a private children's outdoor play area with play structures and tot-lot, as well as an indoor play room (all no fee). Seasonal amenities include an outdoor swimming pool and beautifully maintained waterfront green spaces. Perfectly positioned on peaceful Roosevelt Island, this home offers a unique balance of tranquility and convenience, with easy access to the F train, NYC Ferry, Roosevelt Island Tram, waterfront parks, dining, shopping, and recreational facilitiesplacing Midtown Manhattan just minutes away.
Due to the living space, the amenities and the unforgettable NYC skyline view, 40 River Road #8D is an apartment you don't want to miss out on.
Note: My wife and I have moved out of Roosevelt Island to Westchester. We are ready to let the apartment go. It's a great apartment for someone else to pick up the contract from me and enjoy for the next 11 months and then exercise their own new contract with Manhattan Park in July 2027.
Comparable listings at Manhattan Park Currently list for about $4100 or $4200, instead of the $3725,
I spoke with Manhattan Park: You will have the option to exercise a new contract by yourself with Manhattan Park, in the 2 months before July 31, 2027.
Apartments Generally, go up about 4%, but as this apartment is undervalued, it will likely go up about 5% when you would have the option to sign a new one or two year contract with Manhattan Park in June 2027. There are no guarantees, Manhattan Park does not even know what the new rates will be, but at 5% that should leave the apartment at still slightly under market value for the potential next contract
I very much hope you enjoy this apartment.
