Property Description

Blending the privacy and spaciousness of a townhouse with the luxury living of a high-end condominium, this truly unique home is a completely gut-renovated, duplex modern apartment set inside a grand historic property formerly owned by the Astor family. The prime Upper East Side location is on one of Manhattan?s most premier blocks: East 62nd Street between Fifth and Madison, literally moments from Central Park. This late-1800's townhouse is a true jewel of New York?s Gilded Age, owned for many years by the legendary Astor family.

An exquisite and careful architectural renovation has preserved the building?s nineteenth century grandeur while blending in state-of-the-art modern details. There is a 24-hour doorman, concierge, and elevator. Enter into the grand living room featuring high ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, exquisite architectural details and a decorative fireplace. The custom solid wood kitchen is equipped with Sub-Zero, Wolf and Miele appliances for all your entertaining needs. Upstairs, the ensuite master bedroom is featured with high ceilings and a decorative fireplace. There is a washer/dryer in the unit, as well as a Mitsubishi split air conditioning and heating system that allows for temperature control from a wall thermostat or with the concierge.

Around the corner from legendary New York locations like Barneys, Bergdorf, the Plaza and Madison Avenue boutiques, the townhouse is half-a-block from Central Park, with many of Manhattan?s finest restaurants just around the corner. Most of Midtown?s office buildings are within walking distance, while the N/Q/R, 4/5/6 and F trains are all just a few blocks from the apartment, providing rapid transportation anywhere in New York City.
