Homes Suited For "Grandmillenials"
Are you someone in their mid-20s to late thirties who doesn’t gravitate towards more modern and contemporary aesthetics? Do you find yourself having an affinity towards design that many might consider more “traditional” or “antiquated”? Well, you may not have known, but you may be considered to be what is now referred to as a “grandmillenial.” While you may disregard labels, you may fall in love with the form of architectural design that is less “granny-chic” and more elegant, an appreciation for the aesthetic of the past. For those who revel in the surroundings of Art-Deco, regal columns, and Emory Roth, here are a few homes to take a look at that seamlessly combine modern luxuries with a grandmillenial style.
15 West 81st Street, Unit 14B
Located on the Upper West Side, this seven bedroom home has been restored and maintained from the original time of Emory Roth. While you may choose to redesign the living space, the kitchen features an original casement window, original subway tiling, and original St. Charles cabinetry. Enjoy mornings and evenings in the living room overlooking the skyline which captures the essence of Central Park and The Museum of Natural History. Fitted with modern amenities such as playroom, state of the art fitness center, and separate storage room for owners, it is the perfect space for the grandmillenial buyers.
The Astor
Built in 1901, the Astor is known to be one of the most iconic and prestigious buildings in the Upper West Side. Centered in close proximity to some of New York City's most renowned cultural districts- The Museum of Natural History, New York Historical Society and the Beacon Theater- the Astor is marked by wealth, parties and fame. Combining classic architectural designs, from mosaic tile work to a marble fireplace on the first floor lobby alone, the grandeur of the classic Astor has been preserved with a modern contemporary twist. Equipped with a fitness center and a children's playroom, the building includes all modern amenities.
983 Park Avenue, Apt 5C
Take a walk right through Central Park and find yourself facing this Upper East Side fourteen story pre-war home designed by Schwartz & Gross. Built in 1927, you can enter the renovated apartment building from a semi-private landing into their impressive lobby space. The apartment space comes decorated with original pre-war moldings, herringbone wood floors and a cozy wood burning fireplace. Enjoy contemporary amenities such as a basketball room, a fitness center - or opt for your small gym space- and private storage space.
The Chatsworth
Within walking distance, The Chatsworth mirrors the similar historical value of the Astor. This pre-war landmark borrowed its name from the most prestigious building in England, built in 1904. It remains one of the most iconic buildings within the neighborhood. Landmarked a Beaux-Arts masterpiece, shown through the regal columns and hand carved paneling, it contains some modern designs such as a custom made grandiose chandelier. Akin to a private club, amenities include a lounge space and a children's playroom. Also find yourself enjoying evening walks or bike rides on Riverside Park located near this luxury one-of-a-kind building.
One Hundred Barclay
Downtown's Art-Deco Skyscraper is the epitome of historic loft buildings in TriBeCa. Originally constructed between 1923-1927 for the American Telephone Company, the One Hundred Barclay became the first skyscraper in the world built in this style. While the building's exterior and main lobby were restored to preserve the original design, the tower has been re-crafted in order to feature sprawling loft residencies with high ceilings and incorporating spacious loft living. Perfect for the grandmillennial buyer, the One Hundred Barclay is close to both the Hudson River Park and the High Line.
