Residence 505 at The Astor - the Upper West Side’s preeminent full service prewar condominium - is a sprawling, mint condition, south-facing four bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom custom designed home in an unparalleled setting. Seamlessly blending prewar elegance with every imaginable modern convenience, rarely does such an opportunity present itself. Enter the corner residence to find a breathtaking, sun-soaked great room lined with Herringbone floors with Walnut inlays just beyond the elegant entry foyer. Framed by a south-facing bay window, a custom built-in bar with Sub-Zero wine fridge and a working wood-burning fireplace, this generous space lends itself perfectly to entertaining with ample seating and dedicated spaces for both living and dining. Adjacent the custom bar, you’ll find an absolutely stunning kitchen replete with appliances by Miele, Gaggenau and Sub-Zero, custom millwork, pristine Calacatta marble countertops and a massive center island with seating for four. Down the foyer just beyond the gorgeous powder room with its Degournay hand-painted wallpaper lies the exceptionally large primary suite. Enter into a long, wide foyer lined with Phillip Jeffries wallpaper 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-speaking tub, sprawling double vanity, and radiant heated floors invite you to linger a while longer. The three additional west-facing bedrooms are each perfectly proportioned with excellent storage and two additional full bathrooms shared between them. These swoon-worthy 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. Finally, residence 505 transfers with its own private storage unit. Built in 1901 by William Waldorf Astor, The Astor is a Renaissance Revival Masterpiece perfectly perched on 75th street and Broadway. Converted to 98 luxurious condominiums, The Astor has an exceptional staff of 24-hour doormen and porters, a live-in superintendent, and a full scale fitness center. The building’s enviable Upper West Side location places residents a stone's throw from some of Manhattan’s finest restaurants, cultural institutions and parks while transportation options abound.
