DESIGNER RENOVATED, BIG, BRIGHT ASTOR COURT STYLE-STUNNER GRACIOUS, REIMAGINED, NOUVEAU PRE-WAR w/10' CEILINGS - CHEF'S KITCHEN - 3 FULL DESIGNER BATHS & BIG EXTRA FLEX SPACE Formerly owned by two prized architects who took this special home back to its 1916 studs, this fresh and inviting head-turner is a winsome study in smart design, expansive layout, and timeless beauty. The result is a feel-good residence that lives large and takes full advantage of its era's bigger scale, higher ceilings, and historical pedigree. Through the beautiful Astor Court lobby — overlooking the famed building’s signature courtyard garden — up the attractive elevator and onto the coveted building’s boutique eighth floor hallway, you enter an ideally perched, rare home. Inviting you in is a large gallery foyer that guides you to the well-scaled living room. Here is your West-facing, sun-filled entertaining space with two over-sized windows with architectural and sky views, a wall of dramatic, custom-milled built-ins, a smokeless fireplace, and a secret bar. Through two dramatic custom French doors is a big windowed dining area that flows smartly into the impressive cook’s kitchen. For an open plan feel, the beautiful doors stay open. For privacy and a more flexible use of the dining space, the doors elegantly make the space more private. Handsome and practical, the large kitchen offers honed granite counters, ample custom cabinetry, a stainless SubZero fridge, five-burner Miele stove, handmade tile backsplash, and features custom, polished steel and glass doors that lead to the versatile dining area. The gallery hall gracefully separates the entertaining rooms from the big bedroom suites. The bedrooms are graciously separated from one another by a fabulous bonus room. Here is the secret sauce of this vibrant home — an extra “room” for a den, guest space, office -- the unexpected place for all of your growing needs. Serving the bonus room is a full guest bath on the hall. On one side of the bonus space is the primary bedroom suite -- a king sized abode with big, bright, West facing windows, an immense walk-in closet, and a stunning, en suite marble bath with dual sinks and a soaking tub/shower. On the other side of the big bonus area is the guest bedroom suite -- a second king sized room with a window East onto the building garden and its own en suite designer bath with step-in shower and vintage tiles. Sweetly perched in the coveted Astor Court -- a premier 12-story building designed by Charles A. Platt for Vincent Astor (with entrances on West 90th Streets and West 89th), this home is a winsome stand-out. A well run Manhattan landmark, the Astor Court wraps around a beautifully landscaped courtyard garden, and features a full-time door staff, landscaped roof deck, fitness room, playspace, central laundry, bike storage, garage, and on-site resident manager. Located within close proximity to the 1/2/3 Subway, Riverside Park, Central Park, tennis courts, gyms, and revered shopping and restaurants, this is a special address to call home.
