Description
Now being offered for the first time as a re-sale, Penthouse A at The Asten House was last available on the open market thirty-five years ago as a sponsor sale. Featuring an elegant and luxurious expanse, an over-abundance of natural light, and spectacular views, the space is grand, open and modern while at the same time classic and elegant. PHA is as rare and special a home as you will find.The elevator opens onto a private hallway, featuring the main entrance on one end and a service entrance on the other. Upon entering this stunning home one is immediately greeted by river and city "forever" views. The light and exciting views are almost enough to draw your attention away from the gracious open interior: travertine marble floors and a 31 foot living room expanse with ample room for a baby grand piano, adjacent to a generous south-facing windowed dining area make this a quintessential entertaining space. A completely new open kitchen has every imaginable convenience: Subzero side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, Miele double ovens, handle-free self-closing Miele dishwasher, wine cooler, ice maker, custom G Grass cabinetry and Bakaratta Quartzite counters. The balcony off of the living / dining area gives one a bird's eye view of Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn to the south, west and east. The apartment comes outfitted with motorized shades and a Niles and Sonos sound system.The master bedroom features separate and newly updated his and her bathrooms, motorized Somfy shades, a built-in surround sound system, private balcony and a distinct dressing room with walk-in closets and 360 degrees of mirrors. The second bedroom, located across the hallway, features a built-in desk with storage and shelving, en suite bathroom and a striking northern exposure. The southern side of the apartment houses the third bedroom. The large bay window and new en suite bathroom create a wonderful 3rd bedroom, perfectly tucked away and separate from the first two bedrooms. The apartment features a full laundry with sink which has easy access to the apartment's service entrance.The Asten House at 515 East 79th Street is a white-glove cooperative with an elegant grand marble lobby, 24-hour doorman and concierge, 24-hour garage, valet service, state-of-the-art fitness center and party room.
