PRE-WAR CONDO PERFECTION: REFRESHED, RENEWED & REIMAGINED MOVE-IN ASTOR CLASSIC w/WORKING FIREPLACE


LEGENDARY, HISTORICAL, FULL-SERVICE BUILDING w/TOP FITNESS CENTER, PLAYROOM & STUPENDOUS LOCATION


Above you, restored plaster ceilings soar to nearly 11-feet, underfoot are handsome herringbone Oak floors, and everywhere you look there is beauty and light.


Classic, historical, handsome, reinvented, reimagined, restored and renovated, this is a very special condo creation. With early 20th-century DNA, and a style and layout ideal for the 21st-century, this elegant, timeless, and easy-to-love home is an exceptional find. Marvelous and move-in ready -- perfect for primary residence or pied-a-terre -- this is a luxe, lock-and-leave treasure.


Greeted by a sweet foyer/gallery hall, you immediately sense the welcoming nature -- and formidable presence -- of this classic beauty. You gracefully flow into the big, open, living/dining room. Accented by big bay windows and a peaceful perch, this inviting entertaining space is anchored by a gorgeous marble mantle surrounding its wonderful wood-burning fireplace.


A stunning cook's kitchen opens to the living/dining room, allowing this easy-living beauty to unfold smartly and stylishly. With integrated top-shelf appliances by Gaggenau, Miele, and Sub-Zero, a practical and pretty dining bar of Calacatta Gold marble, and ample custom cabinets and counters, this kitchen is a culinary and aesthetic delight.


Graciously separating the living spaces from the bedroom suite is the gallery hall -- a classic touch that heightens the timeless elegance of this resplendent residence. En route to the luxurious primary suite, there is a sweet powder room with Lefroy Books fixtures.


The bedroom is graced by a mega, magnificent walk-in closet -- fully outfitted with designer built-ins, a seating area, and its own washer/dryer. This lovely, tranquil, well-scaled bedroom enjoys big windows, and a stunning, windowed, marble en-suite bath. The unforgettable bath boasts dual sinks and a spa-like step-in shower. With stonework of Calccatta Gold, Tundra Grey and Nero Gold, polished nickel fixtures by Lefroy Brooks, and radiant heated flooring, every day here is a 5-star escape.


Throughout this winsome home are custom lighting, top-tier fixtures, glorious moldings, custom window treatments, impressive designer closets, and multiple zones of Nest-powered central AC. Dialed in and elegant, yet relaxed and comfy, this condo feels like home.


Sweetly positioned in its stately and renowed historical building -- commissioned by William Waldorf Astor in 1901 and meticulously restored in 2017 by the venerable design firm of Pembrooke & Ives -- the Astor Condominium is a well regarded, full-service address offering a full-time door and concierge staff, a live-in resident manager, a state-of-the-art fitness center, playroom, private storage, bicycle storage, and central laundry.


Life here is easy, refined, and fun. A prime Upper Westside location conveniently serves this happy home. Supremely located between Central and Riverside Parks, the Astor enjoys enviable proximity to every one of its neighborhood's entertainment, shopping, dining, cultural, educational and fitness destinations. A plethora of easy transportation options await, and heart-warming, leafy streets abound.


Here, in this upgraded, reinvented, barely-lived-in beauty, time does not stand still. It richly moves forward -- with a glamorous past and a stylish, exciting future. Welcome to your new life at the Astor. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
