Built by William Waldorf Astor in 1901, the Astor is a pre-war New York rental featuring a gray brick and limestone exterior with many classic architectural elements. The elegant attended foyer is complete with a grand staircase, mosaic floor and plaster pilasters. Renovations in the 1980s and 2008 further updated the building to its current state of old world charm meets modernity. The mid-rise building spans twelve floors and encompasses 221 elevator-accessible apartments.
Apartments at Astor feature many pre-war elements, including expansive nine-foot ceilings and spacious floor plans. The wooden floor adds an additional touch of classic elegance. Fireplaces provide a warm glow and create a romantic scene in the cooler months. Modern kitchens feature breakfast bars, stainless steel appliances, Bosch dishwashers, granite countertops, and custom wood cabinetry. The bathrooms are equally luxurious, with bathtubs and stainless steel fixtures.
Astor apartments enjoy a central location on the Upper West Side. Central and Riverside parks, many restaurants, shops, and food markets such as Zabar's, Citarella, and Fairway are nearby. Renters can also enjoy Lincoln Center and the Museum of Natural History. Residents will never miss transportation with the nearby metro service.
