205 West 89 Street   Unit 9FE

This stunning, grand-scaled home at Astor Court seamlessly unites classic style with modern life. Once 8.5 rooms, now transformed into a one of a kind, spacious 2/3 bedroom that boasts a jaw dropping great room and a coveted corner layout that floods every room with sunlight. The entrance gallery opens onto a 50 foot expanse and four separate public rooms (living room, dining room, study and great room) all with soaring 10 foot ceilings. The corner living room thrills with a wood burning fireplace and is flooded with sun from the 6 foot tall windows facing south and west. The dining room and the study, both entered through french doors, feature floor to ceiling custom cabinetry.

The great room is unique to this apartment and is unequaled. Measuring 24x19 with a coffered ceiling, it boasts an oversized central island that easily seats 8 plus an adjoining area perfectly sized and situated for gatherings or quiet relaxation. The kitchen portion features a 19 foot counter, 54 drawers and cabinets, a 5-burner Wolf cooktop, Miele oven and dishwasher, SubZero refrigerator, KitchenAid microwave and an oversized Villeroy and Boch ceramic sink. The adjoining area provides ample room for seating and entertainment, extra dining with built-in cabinets, book/display cases and two walk-in closets. This great room is the heart of the home and, though it feels central to the apartment, it can be closed off from the rest of the unit at any time with a pocket door.

The bedroom wing extends east with two large south facing bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom features a private 12 foot hallway to its bathroom, which faces north onto the co-op's ivy covered walls and garden. If a third bedroom is needed, the study easily converts and remains within the bedroom wing. There is a separate laundry area with a SpeedQueen WD located off the third full bathroom.

The Astor Court co-op is a suberbly run, architecturally distinguished building constructed in 1915 by Vincent Astor. It features a rare and beautiful private central strolling garden, a roof garden, playroom, bike room (fee), 24 hour doormen at both 89th and 90th Street entrances, and more.
