Asten House is a full-service, white-glove cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side completed in 1981. The 30-story building contains 58 residences, primarily two- and three-bedroom layouts with some convertible and larger multi-bedroom homes. Its post‑war scale is expressed through a renovated double-height marble lobby, custom-designed corridors, and semi-private elevator landings served by two separate elevator wings (four elevators total). Typical apartment interiors feature high ceilings, generous entry foyers, formal dining areas, step-down living rooms, windowed kitchens or galley kitchens, abundant built-in and walk-in closets, hardwood floors, and multiple ensuite bathrooms; many units include private balconies or terraces and deliver broad east, south and north exposures with East River and skyline views. Common spaces emphasize privacy and utility rather than ostentation: a fully equipped fitness center, party room, bike and storage rooms, a large modern laundry facility on the lobby level, and an on-site landscaped park adjacent to the building. Practical conveniences include an attached parking garage with shareholder discounts, 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a live-in resident manager, in-house valet, and building staff managing rentals, pied-à-terres and board approvals. Pets (one dog under 35 lbs) are permitted with board approval; limited financing is allowed and certain units have grandfathered in-unit laundry. The location sits off East End Avenue near Carl Schurz Park, the East River Promenade, ferry access, local buses and nearby subway lines, placing shops, restaurants, schools and medical centers within easy reach.
