Originally configured as a two-bedroom residence, the apartment has been thoughtfully opened up into a dramatic, expansive loft-like space. The listing photographs showcase both possibilities: the airy, open layout as it lives today, as well as the elegant two-bedroom configuration should you choose to restore the original floor plan. Whichever lifestyle you envision, the underlying architecture is exceptional, with rich hardwood floors, handsome crown moldings, and an abundance of storage, including five generous closets and two walk-ins. A wall of oversized east-facing windows fills the living room with warm morning light, while southern exposures keep the home bright and inviting throughout the day. The generous living space flows naturally into a dedicated dining and a beautifully renovated kitchen, creating an effortless setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is appointed with a substantial center island, custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a sophisticated tumbled-stone backsplash. Just beyond the kitchen, a quiet, tucked-away nook provides an ideal home office or creative workspace - a thoughtful bonus in today's flexible way of living. Floor plans for both the existing one-bedroom loft configuration and the original two-bedroom layout are included, allowing you to envision the possibilities. The oversized primary bedroom is a true retreat, with both eastern and southern exposures and ample room for a king-size bed and additional furnishings. Its serene proportions and abundant natural light create a wonderfully private escape from the energy of the home's expansive living spaces. An en-suite windowed bath adds another layer of comfort and privacy. Both bathrooms have been fully renovated with a refined combination of tumbled-stone tile and elegant mosaic detailing, bringing a timeless, sophisticated finish to the home. With its remarkable volume, abundant light, flexible floor plan, and beautifully preserved architectural details, this is a home that offers something increasingly rare: space to live exactly the way you want. Riverview East is a full-service, smoke-free co-op set on a quiet, tree-lined street, offering residents a newly renovated lobby, 24-hour doorman, live-in resident super, on-site laundry, and a garage with EV charging - all backed by an exceptionally attentive staff. Bike storage adds everyday convenience. The location couldn't be more dynamic: directly across from Fairway, and just minutes from Trader Joe's, Lidl, and Target, with an abundance of restaurants and fitness centers right at your doorstep. Transportation is a breeze, putting the rest of Manhattan within easy reach. Pet lovers will be pleased to know two pets are welcome (dogs under 40 pounds). Subletting is allowed after two years of ownership, for up to two years within any five-year period, with Board approval; the cycle then resets. No pied-à-terres. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 2 - **Baths**: 2 - **Rooms**: 5 - **Stories**: 20 - **Year Built**: 1964 - **Common Charges**: $3,081 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Apr 22, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 164 Days ### Residence Features - Central Air - Skyline ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$7,627 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($179,800), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term.

Square footage is recorded for only 14 of these 24 sales (58%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Kips Bay instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 96.5% (23 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 83% (23 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 73 days (23 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 85 days (23 sales) Based on co-op two-bedroom sales in Kips Bay with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. ### Price trend Median sale price, co-op two-bedroom sales in Kips Bay | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $1,110,000 | 13 | | 2018 | $995,000 | 19 | | 2019 | $940,000 | 13 | | 2020 | $1,244,000 | 10 | | 2021 | $925,000 | 23 | | 2022 | $951,000 | 18 | | 2023 | $987,500 | 17 | | 2024 | $773,075 | 14 | | 2025 | $920,000 | 17 | Based on recorded co-op two-bedroom sales in Kips Bay. Sales data through May 2026. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for. ## Kips Bay Medical Mile & Value [Explore Kips Bay](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/kips-bay) · [All Neighborhoods](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods) ### Nearby Kips Bay - [Murray Hill real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/murray-hill) - [Gramercy real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/gramercy) - [Flatiron District real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/flatiron-district) - [Stuyvesant Town real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/stuyvesant-town) - [Midtown real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/midtown) - [East Village real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/east-village) ## Related Links - [Kips Bay neighborhood guide](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/kips-bay) - [Estimate your Buyer Commission Share and closing costs](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/calculators/buyer-closing-cost-calculator) - [Contact Régis Roumila](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/contact) --- > RLS IDX Data display by Real Estate Rebate Team.
