Description

A bright, spacious, and beautifully renovated prewar apt in prime Murray Hill. The spectacular remodel seamlessly converted this spacious studio to a comfortable one-bedroom home.

Three large closets provide generous storage, and gracious prewar details, including high ceilings, hardwood floors, and large windows are throughout this beautiful home. 159 Madison Avenue is a well-managed coop, with a caring, attentive staff and resident manager. It’s centrally located with outstanding dining, shopping, and public transit options. The doorman is 24-hours and laundry is on every floor. Pied-e-terres are allowed as are parents buying, guarantors, and co-purchasing. You can sublet after 2 years and pets under 40 lbs. are allowed.
