GRANDIOZNA, UMJETNIČKA KLASIČNA STANOVA S 8 SOBA U IKONIČNOM ASTOR COURTU
DUŠEVNA PROSTRANAČA s KAMINOM na DRVENO GORIVO, POTPUNO JELAONICE i PUNO ORMARA
POTPUNO USLUGA, ZGRADA PRIJATELJSKA ZA KUĆNE LJUBIMCE s POZNATIM ENGLESKIM VRTOM, KROVNOM TERASOM, IGRAONICOM i GARAŽOM
Ovo je dom koji ne pronalazite svaki dan. Ova izvanredna rezidencija stvorena je 1916. godine i još uvijek se ponosi velikim dijelom svog klasičnog detalja. Ažurirana i stilizirana za život u velikom 21. stoljeću, predratna DNK ove velike ljepote još uvijek je ovdje. Na površini je umjetnički osnažena od strane jednog od najistaknutijih umjetnika keramičkih pločica na svijetu, ali to je samo uzbudljivi gornji sloj ovog pronalaska koji čini da se osjećate dobro. Ispod su prekrasni drveni podovi, iznad se nalaze stropovi visoki 10 stopa, a svuda unaokolo ima svjetla i prostora -- velikog prostora, velikih soba i velikog srca.
Prilagođena za opuštajući život i elegantno zabavljanje, svih osam soba ove prostrane rezidencije nude vanjska izlaganja: pet soba gleda na istok, s pogledom na bujni, privatni engleski vrt zgrade, a tri sobe gledaju na zapad s pogledom na grad i prekrasnu zapadnu svjetlost. Graciozna središnja galerija centrirana je u ovom domu, vodeći do svih prostranih soba. S jedne strane -- kroz jednu od karakterističnih lukova ovog doma -- nalazi se ogroman dnevni boravak. Ovaj prostrani prostor krasi strop s udubinom, a nudi dekorativni kamin, mokri bar i tri velika prozora s pogledom na privatni vrt zgrade. S druge strane -- kroz još jedan atraktivan luk -- je velika blagovaonica koja bez problema može primiti četrnaest osoba. S gipsanim moldinzima, funkcionalnim kaminom na drvo (s prilagođenim pločicama) i dva velika prozora okrenuta prema zapadu, ovaj impozantan blagovaonica fleksibilno služi kao drugi dnevni boravak ili hibridni blagovaonski/dnevni boravak.
Kroz još jedan arhitektonski luk, odmah iz blagovaonice, nalazi se fantastična, prozračna, ogromna dizajnerska kuhinja. Ovdje -- s prilagođenim namještajem i ugradbenim elementima, mramornim radnim površinama, velikom ostavom, aparatima najviše klase (Wolf -Viking - Sub Zero), dvostrukim perilicama posuđa i perilicom rublja punih dimenzija i plinom (ventiliranim), kulinarski snovi postaju stvarnost.
Krila spavaćih soba su graciozno odvojena. Glavna spavaća soba je kraljevske veličine i uživa u dva jumbo prozora okrenuta prema zapadu, dva garderoba i prozračnom kupaonicom -- savršeno klasična s kadom od lijevanog željeza. Gostinjska soba jedna gleda na vrt, ima dobar prostor za ormar i opslužuje je još jedna prilično velika klasična kupaonica s prozorom. S druge strane ovog prostranog i duševnog doma nalazi se gostinjska soba dva -- treća velika spavaća soba koja također gleda na vrt, nudi dva ormara i još jednu klasičnu kupaonicu s prozorom. Dva odvojena domaća ureda -- i nevjerojatni ormari i prostori za pohranu -- zaokružuju ovu raskošnu rezidenciju i jačaju ovaj sretnu dom za sve rastuće potrebe života.
Slatko smješten u poželjnom Astor Court -- premijernoj 12-katnoj zgradi koju je dizajnirao Charles A. Platt za Vincenta Astora (s ulazima na West 89th i West 90th Streets) -- ovaj dom je privlačan istaknutak. Pažljivo vođena znamenitost Manhattana, Astor Court okružuje prekrasno uređen dvorišni vrt, i ima osoblje na vratima koje radi cijelo vrijeme, uređen krovni vrt, teretanu, igralište, središnju perilicu rublja, skladište bicikala i upravitelja na licu mjesta. Smješten u blizini metroa linija 1/2/3, Riverside Parka, Central Parka, teniskih terena, teretana i cijenjenih prodavaonica i restorana, ovo je divna adresa za nazvati domom.

SOULFUL SPRAWLER w/WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE, FULL DINING ROOM & TONS OF CLOSETS
FULL SERVICE, PET-FRIENDLY BUILDING w/FAMOUS ENGLISH GARDEN, ROOF TERRACE, PLAYROOM & GARAGE
Here is a home you don't discover every day. This extraordinary residence was created in 1916 and still boasts much of its classic detail. Updated and styled for a big 21st Century life, the pre-war DNA of this big beauty is still here. On the surface, it has been artistically enhanced by one of the world's pre-eminent tile artists, but that's just the exciting top layer of this feel-good find. Underfoot are wonderful hardwood floors, above are 10-foot ceilings, and all around there is light and space -- big space, big rooms, and big heart.
Customized for stretch-out living and elegant entertaining, all eight rooms of this expansive residence offer exterior exposures: Five rooms face East overlooking the building's lush, private English garden, and three rooms face West with city views and wonderful Western light. A gracious central gallery centers this home, leading to all of this home's extra-large rooms. On one side -- through one of this home's signature arches -- is an enormous living room. This vast space is crowned by a tray ceiling, and offers a decorative fireplace, wet bar, and three oversized windows onto the building's signature private garden. On the other side -- through another attractive arch -- is the massive dining room that easily accommodates fourteen. With plaster moldings, a working, wood-burning fireplace (with custom tiled mantle), and two big. West facing, sunset windows, this immense dining room flexibly accommodates a second living room or a hybrid dining/den.
Through another architectural arch, just off of the dining room, is the fantastic, windowed, enormous designer kitchen. Here -- with custom cabinetry and built-ins, marble-topped counters, a large pantry, top-shelf appliances (Wolf -Viking - Sub Zero), dual dishwashers, and a full-sized washer and gas (vented) dryer, culinary dreams unfold.
The bedroom wings are graciously split. The primary suite is king-sized and enjoys two jumbo West-facing windows, two walk-in closets, and a windowed bath -- perfectly classic with a cast-iron tub. Guest bedroom one is garden facing, has good closet space, and is served by another sizable classic windowed bath. On the other side of this immense and heartwarming home is guest bedroom two -- the third big bedroom that also faces the garden, offers dual closets, and yet another classic windowed bath. Two distinct home offices -- and tremendous closets and storage spaces -- round out this resplendent residence, and fortify this happy home for all of life's growing needs.
Sweetly perched in the coveted Astor Court -- a premier 12-story building designed by Charles A. Platt for Vincent Astor (with entrances on West 89th and West 90th Streets) -- 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 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 delightful address to call home.
