The Apthorp | Meticulously Restored Prewar Residence on the Upper West Side

A rare opportunity to own a meticulously restored and fully renovated four-bedroom, four-bathroom residence at The Apthorp, one of Manhattan's most iconic landmark condominiums. Spanning approximately 3,100 square feet, this exceptional home preserves the grandeur of prewar architecture while seamlessly incorporating modern luxury.

A dramatic 30-foot gallery creates an unforgettable arrival, revealing a home where historic craftsmanship has been thoughtfully restored rather than replaced. Soaring 11-foot ceilings, hand-cut marble mosaic floors, original herringbone oak hardwood flooring, richly detailed plaster moldings, oversized windows, and two meticulously restored hand-carved wood-burning fireplaces define the timeless elegance of The Apthorp.

The expansive south-facing living room is centered around one of the home's original fireplaces and filled with natural light, creating an elegant setting for entertaining and everyday living. The formal dining room, anchored by the second fireplace, overlooks The Apthorp's iconic landscaped courtyard and fountain, offering exceptional privacy and a tranquil backdrop.

The fully renovated, windowed eat-in chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, premium appliances, a generous breakfast area, and two large windows overlooking the courtyard—beautifully balancing functionality and timeless design.
The spacious primary suite enjoys sunny southern exposures, a custom walk-in closet, and a luxurious Carrara marble bathroom with a double vanity, deep soaking Jacuzzi tub, glass-enclosed shower, and Duravit bidet.

Three additional bedrooms are generously proportioned, each with custom walk-in closets and en-suite marble bathrooms featuring custom Ann Sacks tile and premium fixtures by Baccarat and Samuel Heath.

Modern comforts are seamlessly integrated with a dedicated laundry room, motorized Somfy shades, Nest climate control, Sonos audio, and thoughtfully upgraded systems throughout.

Originally commissioned by William Waldorf Astor and designed by Clinton & Russell between 1906 and 1908, The Apthorp occupies an entire city block and remains one of New York City's finest examples of Italian Renaissance architecture and one of Manhattan's most prestigious full-service condominiums.

Residents enjoy the celebrated landscaped garden courtyard with fountains, sculptures, and a private porte-cochère, along with four attended entrances, two staffed gatehouses, on-site parking, a 6,500-square-foot fitness center with yoga studio, sauna and steam rooms, treatment rooms, a residents' lounge with catering kitchen, landscaped roof terraces, children's playroom, bicycle storage, and a live-in resident manager supported by a full-service staff.

Perfectly positioned between Central Park and Riverside Park, The Apthorp offers immediate access to Lincoln Center, the American Museum of Natural History, renowned restaurants, neighborhood cafés, boutique shopping, and the very best of the Upper West Side.
