Description
Upon entering the unit’s gracious foyer, your eye is drawn immediately to the spacious, south-facing...One of a Kind! Perched on a high floor at the prestigious Asten House near Carl Schurz Park, this expansive and sunny 3-BR, 2.5bath residence is larger than other “A-line” units in the building and features a gracious and flexible layout, windowed eat-in kitchen, broad high-floor views to the south across the East River, open city views to the north, and a sizable balcony from which to enjoy outdoor living.
Upon entering the unit’s gracious foyer, your eye is drawn immediately to the spacious, south-facing living room with balcony, ideal for both grand entertaining and everyday comfort. In its current configuration, the living room has been opened to the bedroom adjoining it to create a large, open, generously sized formal dining room with wet-bar. The flexibility exists to convert this dining space back into a bedroom, home office, or den, and also expand the foyer’s powder room to create an additional full bath. Further rooms on the southern wing of the home include a very spacious and bright bedroom with its own windowed en-suite bath.
To the north, the home features a vast, windowed, eat-in kitchen as well as primary bedroom with walk-in closet and windowed en-suite bath, all featuring open northern city views.
The apartment’s thoughtful and flexible layout provides excellent flow, abundant storage potential, and a framework ready to be tailored to any buyer’s needs. In-unit washer-dryer provides an added level of convenience.
Asten House is a full-service cooperative with white-glove amenities including 24-hour doorman, concierge, a fully-outfitted gym, bike room, storage room, (subject to availability), a lovely landscaped park just outside the building, and an attached parking garage. Ideally situated near the East River Esplanade, Carl Schurz Park, and convenient transportation, this residence combines space, views, and lifestyle in one of the Upper East Side’s most desirable buildings.
There is an assessment in place for $1,008 till November 2026.
