Modern cosmopolitan lifestyle meets Renaissance charm in The Apthorp, one of the city’s most iconic living spaces and architectural works of art. With its intricate detailing and air of Old World elegance, it’s ideal for families looking for luxury living in a historic setting. And with 32 residences now available at a substantially reduced price, the 163-residence building is more attractive than ever.
The legacy of The Apthorp dates back to 1908, when financier William Waldorf Astor and his team of architects made it the world’s largest residential building. Modeled after the Pitti Palace in Florence, The Apthorp has maintained its historical and architectural integrity. Families today can still enjoy its Italian Renaissance detailing and design—not to mention an expansive interior courtyard. But the building also boasts floor plans and amenities suited to the tastes and lifestyles of today’s families, says Karen Mansour, director of sales and marketing at Prudential Douglas Elliman. Residences range from one to five plus bedrooms and feature the ultimate in state-of-the-art technology. Generously-sized rooms and high ceilings make each apartment perfect for entertaining or spending time as a family. The building also has plans to add a fitness center and children’s playroom.
The Apthorp is located on the Upper West Side, extending from West End Avenue to Broadway between 78th and 79th Streets. “It’s in a very family-oriented environment,” Mansour says, noting the neighborhood’s excellent schools and the proximity of Central Park and Riverside Park, as well as cultural institutions like the American Museum of Natural History, the New York City Ballet, The Metropolitan Opera, The Juilliard School, Lincoln Center and more.
