A relaxing and airy Upper West Side co-op with a talented owner has come to the market. Quite the price for its luxe feel, the one-bedroom pad is listed for $925,000, an affordable sum compared to many Manhattan dwellings. Have you seen Rupert Murdoch’s current listing or this $17.5 million brownstone with its own pool?
For this more attainable luxury residence, the seller is none other than Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who worked on hit teen shows like Glee before moving on to create the CW’s Riverdale and become the Chief Creative Officer of Archie Comics. Aguirre-Sacasa owns the refreshing refuge with his production stage manager husband Barclay Stiff, but Dirt reports that the couple also has a larger West Coast home. Last year, the publication saw that they nabbed Bridget Fonda and Danny Elfman’s Italian Renaissance manse for $8.75 million.
While Aguirre-Sacasa’s Riverdale features drama and tackles heavy social issues, this apartment seems outfitted more for moments of stillness and clearing the mind. Featuring 10-foot ceilings and a primarily white and green color palette, the unit is light yet cozy. Since it only has one bedroom and one bathroom, it could easily serve as the perfect pied-à-terre for someone else in showbiz who often jets between coasts and sets.
Most of all because the address offers ample convenience, setting you up on the 10th floor of Astor Court. One of the city’s most coveted full-service cooperatives, the 1915 pre-war cooperative was built by architect Charles Platt for Vincent Astor of the prominent Astor Family. Beyond the building’s prim and proper landscaped English garden, which happens to be the biggest on the Upper West Side, the bustle of Manhattan is at your fingertips.
Christopher Kromer and Nora Ariffin of Brown Harris Stevens hold the listing.
