531 Main Street   Unit 410

Introducing 531 Main Street, #410 Roosevelt Island, NY 10044. It's sneaking onto the market as one last surprise hurrah for buyers looking for a change in the new year. It's basically the best Thanksgiving sale you will find. Please reach out for an appointment this weekend. This is not likely to last long. This 1-bed apartment easily flexes to a two bed unit (please see our alternative floor plan.)

You will immediately appreciate how warm and inviting this unit is, as it welcomes you with a real entry foyer. The kitchen has been updated with stone counters and fresh cabinets with lots of storage. (The high-low bar keeps you in the mix of the living area, but hides the mess.) The main living area accommodates living, dining and bonus space for a home office. However, it is possible to convert the space into a second full bedroom. There are 6 closets, including one large walk-in closet. Guests are able to take advantage of the renovated half bath, and leave the full en suite bath private. The large peaceful master bedroom has space for a queen or king bed, dresser, armoire, seating and more. This really is a fantastic unit that feels good. Among other things, the maintenance includes electricity and taxes... but also year round access to the indoor pool and sauna area.

531 Main Street "Rivercross" is one of three co-ops on the island, and one of the first four residential buildings on Roosevelt Island. Supremely well-maintained, the amenities include a spectacular swimming pool, saunas, fitness center, bike storage, community room, huge renovated-playroom, courtyard patio, multiple double ceiling height lobby seating areas. Much of the building staff has managed the building for decades like it's their own home. There is full-time doorman service, a concierge, and live-in building manager. The coop welcomes pied-a-terre ownership, co-purchasing, and up to 80% financing.

Roosevelt Island could be perhaps one of the most livable solutions in New York City. Living here means living on the water every day with views and space (indoor and outdoor!) It is possible to relax and be comfortable at home, overlooking the greatest city in the world. We offer virtual and in-person showing appointments. Reach out to me directly to schedule a showing. ALL SHOWINGS ARE BY APPOINTMENT.

More people are discovering how Roosevelt Island is commutable by the MTA Roosevelt Island Tram, the F train, the Astoria Ferry line, the M86 bus line, land bridge from Astoria, and CitiBike, making it easy to get all over Manhattan, Long Island City, and Astoria in about 20 minutes. Also, perhaps more important now than ever, people are able to self-park in the parking garage on the island and have a reserved spot. Enjoy all the conveniences of city living, with a suburban setting, minutes from the city.

Roosevelt Islanders love the speak-easy reputation of Roosevelt Island and its oasis of calm and community living minutes away from the city. Roosevelt Island offers conveniences of ample outdoor space and neighborhood lifestyle that people are looking for. In the age of COVID, Roosevelt Island is an attractive alternative to city living because of the abundance of community amenities and outdoor space, such as: parks, green space, gardens and community gardens, running and biking paths, swimming pools, baseball and soccer fields, basketball and tennis courts, and playgrounds to name a few. Roosevelt Island is committed to green living, and in addition to weekly composting drop-off, one is able to even forage some plants and herbs on the island, and there is a membership run community garden. Other parks include: Southpoint Park and Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms State Park in the south and Lighthouse Park at the north end of the island. Some parks and green spaces include access to complimentary BBQ grills.

The vibrant community also includes the newly developed Cornell University Tech campus with landscaped park space, cafes, and a hotel, dining at "Anything At All" and rooftop bar/club at "The Panorama Room." Further, residents have access to the New York City public library, schools, post office, the new Foodtown grocery store, two well-stocked bodegas, weekly Farmers Market, Duane Read, Starbucks and a number of local restaurants featuring at least 5 cuisines.
