I cant say I care much for the exterior of the structure, but the grounds and interior wreak of a delightful world of old luxury.

A fascinating estate by a fascinating family. ]]>Sep 27th 2009 1:34PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/27/astor-courts-estate-of-the-day/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/27/astor-courts-estate-of-the-day/(but hey, I understand.....it's 50 acres), and the exterior is too monolithic and museum like, but the interior (restoration and design) is absolutely fabulous!!! The indoor tennis court is unbelievable!! Great job!!]]>Sep 27th 2009 5:41PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/27/astor-courts-estate-of-the-day/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/27/astor-courts-estate-of-the-day/
The restoration job of this property is sensational although the property never was anything less then A1 in its original construction or design. It cost over $1 million alone when it was built which is in excess of $20 Million in 2009 dollars.

The current owners contracted for purchase of this property in Nov 2004 and took possession in March 2005. They certainly have not done the far too typical (and reprehensable) quick fixer upper of this estate. Rather they truly did plow the time, resources and research to do it right.

I'll cut them slack for the already noted weak staging furtinture used to keep the clean, bright, simple look of the architecture in focus.]]>Sep 27th 2009 11:58PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/27/astor-courts-estate-of-the-day/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/27/astor-courts-estate-of-the-day/Sep 28th 2009 3:21PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/27/astor-courts-estate-of-the-day/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/27/astor-courts-estate-of-the-day/Aug 24th 2010 12:41PM
