Welcome to Unit 705, a corner residence with a breathtaking, sun filled great room framed by a south-facing bay window and a working wood-burning fireplace. With dedicated areas for both living and dining, this generous space is the perfect place for entertaining. The stunning chef’s kitchen is adorned with Calacatta Gold countertops and backsplash as well as Gaggenau, Miele, and Sub-zero appliances. Rich herringbone wood floors weave throughout, seamlessly integrating contemporary finishes with prewar details. Down the foyer just beyond the gorgeous powder room is the exceptionally large primary suite. Enter into a long, wide foyer to find a gracious walk-in-closet and dressing area followed immediately by the luxurious, massive bedroom framed by both southern and western exposures. The generous primary bathroom, meanwhile, is truly spa-like. Calacatta Gold and Tundra Grey marble tiles are tied together with custom Haisa marble mosaics while the deep-soaking tub, sprawling double vanity, and radiant heated floors provide a blissful retreat. The three additional west-facing bedrooms are each perfectly proportioned with excellent storage and two additional full bathrooms shared between them. These exquisitely designed bathrooms feature Duravit by Starck wall-mounted water closets, honed Glassos tile floors, ceramic tile walls, and sparkling Kohler bathtubs. A laundry area in the hallway with Bosch washer/dryer, double-paned soundproof windows, individually controlled central HVAC in every room and 10ft ceilings throughout complete this exceedingly special home. A storage unit is also available. Built in 1901 by William Waldorf Astor, The Astor is a Renaissance Revival Masterpiece perfectly perched on 75th street and Broadway.
