The Apthorp, built in 1908 by William Waldorf Astor, is one of New York City's most prestigious landmark buildings, occupying an entire block between 78th and 79th Streets on the Upper West Side. This Italian Renaissance Revival masterpiece, designed by architects Clinton & Russell, is distinguished by its limestone façade, iconic wrought-iron gates, and magnificent central courtyard with fountains and landscaped gardens.
The 12-story building contains 163 residences, accessed through four separate attended lobbies. Apartments feature soaring 11-foot ceilings, many with original architectural details including mosaic-tiled entry galleries, glass-paneled French doors, decorative fireplaces, and intricate crown moldings. Units range from one to six bedrooms, with many offering formal dining rooms and grand entertaining spaces.
The building was converted to condominiums in 2008 and now offers extensive amenities including a 6,500-square-foot suite with spa, fitness center, yoga studio, entertainment space with catering kitchen, children's playroom, and private storage. The building provides white-glove service with 24-hour doormen, hand-delivered mail, and on-site parking. Located between Central Park and Riverside Park, The Apthorp offers convenient access to the Upper West Side's cultural institutions, dining, shopping, and transportation.
