Description

Located on the 17th floor of a white-glove Upper East Side building off prestigious East End Avenue is this mint newly renovated corner two bedroom, 2. 5 bath with private out-door space and magnificent views. It's wall of south-facing windows capture the unparalleled vista of the beautiful East River and affords natural sunlight to flood in. A stand-out feature of this home is it's newly renovated enlarged, open kitchen. Unlike other B-lines in this building, this kitchen has been reconfigured and opened up to allow for great space, a breakfast bar, and an aesthetic to the apartment. It features beautiful Quartzite counter-tops, elegant tiled back-splash, under-lit white cabinetry and state of the art appliances (Samsung Chef Collection 5-burner stove, dishwasher, and microwave; Liebherr refrigerator with ice maker). The large entrance foyer leads into a spacious living room and windowed dining room. Both bedrooms are spacious and also enjoy gorgeous river views. The two full baths are marble (the master with a window - looking at the river, of course!) and the 1/2 bath is lovely for guests. The entire apartment enjoys dark wood strip floors, and there are moldings throughout. The closet space is amazing with a full wall of closets in the master. The Asten House is a special building. It is elegant and maintained beautifully. It has a recently renovated marble lobby, and newly renovated custom designed hallways. There are only three apartments per floor, two separate elevator wings, and 4 elevators (2 per side). It boasts a large fully-equipped gym, a party room, an in-house valet and modern laundry facility all on the lobby level. There is a 24 hour garage accessible from the building and a landscaped park outside the building for residents. Dogs are permitted under 35 lbs with board approval. Transportation is extremely convenient. The 79th Street crosstown bus stops outside, there is a taxi line to the Financial District down the block, and the M31 bus, Q line and Lexington Ave. line subways are all nearby. Great restaurants, parks, a library, a post office and shopping are moments away.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
