Located in the renowned Astor Court, this gracious corner two bedroom / two bathroom home offers an elegant layout, well proportioned rooms, a wood burning fireplace with an original mantle, and soaring 10' ceilings.

A generous foyer greets you upon entering the apartment with three oversized closets, the largest closet has an additional access door from the elevator landing perfect for storing strollers or bikes. The foyer leads to a spacious dining area and then through a large arched entryway is the oversized (18 x 16) corner living room with three windows offering treed open city views, west and north exposures, and a WBFP. The renovated windowed kitchen is equipped with granite countertops and stainless appliances (Miele dishwasher, Bosch range and Liebherr refrigerator).
