Veličanstvenost Pozlaćenog doba. Remek-djelo modernog doba.

Prostirući se na više od 4.300 četvornih stopa unutar legendarnog kompleksa The Apthorp, rezidencija 2C jedna je od njih – potpuno obnovljen dom s četiri spavaće sobe i četiri i pol kupaonice, u kojem se veličanstvenost Pozlaćenog doba susreće s izrazito modernim pristupom.

Dolazak je poput prizora iz filma. Prostrani ulazni hol uvodi vas u prostor s raskošnim stropovima višima od 3,2 metra, podovima od mramornog mozaika, impozantnim stupovima i složenim izvornim štukaturama – tihim podsjetnikom na umijeće izrade i razmjere koji kompleks The Apthorp definiraju već više od stoljeća.

Odavde se rezidencija niže kroz niz skladno oblikovanih prostorija povezanih hrastovim podovima u uzorku riblje kosti i uokvirenih velikim prozorima. Izvorni arhitektonski detalji i elegantni kaminski okviri prostoru daju povijesni karakter bez pretjerane formalnosti, dok sjeverna i južna orijentacija tijekom dana donose promjenjivu prirodnu svjetlost. S prozora se pruža pogled na rascvjetana stabla, uređene vrtove i fontane znamenitog unutarnjeg dvorišta kompleksa The Apthorp, stvarajući gotovo europski prizor – spokojan, privatan i čudesno izdvojen od grada koji se nalazi odmah iza njegovih vrata.

Romantiku arhitekture nadopunjuju udobnosti suvremenog života. Podno grijanje, prostrane kade za opuštanje, modernizirani sustavi grijanja i hlađenja te integrirani ozvučeni sustav pažljivo su uklopljeni bez narušavanja izvornog karaktera rezidencije.

A tu je i sam The Apthorp.

Naručen po nalogu Williama Waldorfa Astora 1908. godine, ovaj zaštićeni kompleks i dalje je jedna od velikih arhitektonskih znamenitosti Manhattana. Njegovo monumentalno pročelje u stilu talijanske renesansne obnove i kultna vrata od kovanog željeza otkrivaju privatno uređeno dvorište u samom središtu – iznimnu oazu zbog koje je povratak kući ovdje postao jedan od najprepoznatljivijih rituala Upper West Sidea.

Iza povijesne arhitekture krije se izrazito suvremen način života. Stanarima je na raspolaganju 6.500 četvornih stopa privatnih sadržaja, uključujući spa-centar, fitness-centar, studio za jogu, prostorije za tretmane, parnu kupelj, saunu, dječju igraonicu i elegantan prostor za organizaciju događanja s barom, catering-kuhinjom, biljarom i multimedijalnom prostorijom. Četiri nadzirana stambena predvorja, osobna dostava pošte, upravitelj zgrade na lokaciji i parking s unutarnjim pristupom zaokružuju ovo iskustvo.

U neposrednoj blizini Riverside Parka i Central Parka, kao i Američkog prirodoslovnog muzeja te restorana, kulture i energije koji definiraju Upper West Side, rezidencija 2C nudi nešto što je na Manhattanu sve teže pronaći: izniman prostor, arhitektonsku ljepotu i istinski osjećaj pripadnosti mjestu.

Gilded Age Grandeur. Modern-Day Masterpiece.

Spanning more than 4,300 square feet within the legendary Apthorp, Residence 2C is one of them-a fully renovated four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home where Gilded Age grandeur meets a distinctly modern point of view.

The arrival is cinematic. An expansive entrance gallery introduces ceilings soaring beyond 10.5 feet, marble mosaic floors, stately columns and intricate original moldings-a quiet reminder of the craftsmanship and scale that have defined The Apthorp for more than a century.

From there, the residence unfolds through a series of beautifully proportioned rooms connected by oak herringbone floors and framed by oversized windows. Original architectural details and elegant fireplace mantels lend a sense of history without formality, while north and south exposures bring shifting natural light throughout the day. From the windows, flowering trees, landscaped gardens and fountains of The Apthorp's celebrated courtyard create an almost European tableau-serene, private and wonderfully removed from the city just beyond its gates.

The romance of the architecture is balanced by the comforts of contemporary living. Radiant floor heating, generous soaking tubs, updated heating and cooling systems and integrated sound throughout have been thoughtfully incorporated without compromising the residence's original character.

And then there is The Apthorp itself.

Commissioned by William Waldorf Astor in 1908, the landmark remains one of Manhattan's great architectural statements. Its monumental Italian Renaissance Revival facade and iconic wrought-iron gates reveal a private landscaped courtyard at its center-an extraordinary oasis that has made arriving home here one of the Upper West Side's most recognizable rituals.

Behind the historic architecture is a decidedly modern lifestyle. Residents enjoy 6,500 square feet of private amenities, including a spa, fitness center, yoga studio, treatment rooms, steam room, sauna, children's playroom and an elegant entertaining suite with bar, catering kitchen, billiards and media room. Four attended residential lobbies, hand-delivered mail, an on-site building manager and internal-access parking complete the experience.

With Riverside Park and Central Park nearby, along with the American Museum of Natural History and the restaurants, culture and energy that define the Upper West Side, Residence 2C offers something increasingly elusive in Manhattan: remarkable scale, architectural beauty and a genuine sense of place.
