For the first time in 30 years, residence 4J at the prestigious Astor Court is available to buyers. It is an opportunity to live in a totally new, completely renovated corner 2BR/2BA apartment. It is thoughtfully remodeled with respect for its historical presence while acknowledging the need for modern convenience and technology. True to the neo-Renaissance period, the apartment a capacious living room with high ceilings, and is awash in light from the oversized windows with exposures facing west and west. There is a gracious foyer which flows into the dining room. In classic style the public areas were kept separate from the private. There are two spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms and numerous closets. 4J is also one of the rare units where a washer dryer is allowed and a double Miele unit has been installed.
The large-windowed kitchen includes a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Viking stove, dishwasher, microwave, a Kraus faucet with pull-down sprayer with a matching water purifier spigot. A dramatic Levantina Spanish sintered stone countertop and backsplash brig the look of the kitchen into 2025. The original hardwood floors were refinished and a new hardwood floor installed in the kitchen to restore the original intent. Undermount task lighting is there to facilitate your entertaining.
The generous master bedroom has large his and her closets. An en-suite full bath with step in shower, newly enlarged and conceptualized with a Grohe shower system, including handheld, and walls done in large format Porcelanosa wall tiles. A custom shower door was commissioned. The medicine cabinets in both bathrooms represent the best of new conveniences with built-in touch-control integrated light, USB ports and a defogger. The secondary bathroom provides continuity with Porcelanosa large format tiles and a new tub with tile surround. The tub is enclosed by a two-sided glass tub shower door, minimalist wood vanity, granite window sill and a Grohe design shower system with shower head and handheld intended for a tub configuration. Directly across the hall there is a linen closet for convenient access to toiletries, sheets, towels.
To retain the character of the original living room the distinctive cove crown was retained. A custom-designed mantle was built around the original Potoro marble surround of the rare working WBF, along with the addition of a Nero absolute granite hearthstone which is also used throughout the apartment for the window sills. Electrified fireplace sconces replaced candles. The concept of the living room was to provide layered lighting. The recesses, chandelier, and sconces are all LED on separate dimmers and can be used singularly or in tandem. All the electrical and plumbing throughout the apartment has been completely redone and is completely new. Period appropriate crown and base moldings were restored or replaced. Astor Court's 4J is aperfect synergy of Neo- Renaissance and contemporary utility.
Constructed in 1915 by Vincent Astor and designed by legendary architect Charles Platt, Astor Court is one of the most sought-after cooperatives on the UWS. Spanning the entire block between 89th and 90th Streets on Broadway, it's comprised of 158 units amongst four distinct wings; the 89th and 90thStreet sides are separated by a gorgeous private English garden courtyard, recently completely redone and a truly one-of-a-kind gift to shareholders. Other amenities include 24-hour doorman service at both entrances, a live-in super, roof terrace on the 90th Street side, fitness center, children's playroom, bike storage and an on-site garage accessible via a ramp from the 89th Street side. (Independently owned.) The co-op is both pet and pied-a-terre friendly and is perched beautifully between the 2/3 subway entrance on 93rd Street and the 1 train on 86th; countless restaurants, bars and shopping litter the nearby blocks. 30% down is required.
