Description
Beautifully renovated and ready to move in, Residence 10J at 159 Madison Avenue combines prewar character, thoughtful design, and exceptional storage in an inviting studio overlooking Madison Avenue. Facing the avenue rather than the rear of the building, the apartment benefits from the width of Madison Avenue, which allows for generous natural light, enhanced by additional light reflected from the glass building directly across the street. Soaring 11-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and crown moldings complete the warm, elegant setting. The beautifully appointed open kitchen features paneled cabinetry, granite countertops, a herringbone tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, microwave, and dishwasher. A substantial center island offers seating for casual dining and additional cabinetry below, connecting the kitchen seamlessly to the living area. Storage is a standout feature throughout the home, with extensive closets and cabinets thoughtfully incorporated into the entrance, above the kitchen cabinetry, and beneath the center island. A dedicated dressing area adds built-in shelving, drawers, and hanging space, keeping everyday essentials neatly organized. The recessed sleeping area provides a sense of separation while preserving the apartment's open feel. The beautifully renovated bathroom features warm stone tile, a glass-enclosed oversize walk-in shower, and a vanity with additional storage. The apartment can also be purchased fully furnished, if desired, offering an effortless move-in experience. 159 Madison Avenue is a prewar cooperative offering a doorman, live-in superintendent, porter, roof deck, dedicated laundry in the same floor and each floor, bicycle storage, and additional storage, subject to availability. Its central location places you close to the restaurants, shopping, and transportation of NoMad and Murray Hill, with Madison Square Park nearby. Pied-à-terre ownership and co-purchasing are permitted. Parents may purchase with children, provided the child is a co-shareholder. Pets are welcome with approval, with a 40-pound weight limit for dogs. In-unit washers and dryers are permitted subject to Board approval and completion of an Alteration Agreement. After two years of owner occupancy, shareholders may request Board approval to sublet for up to three years within a five-year period, with leases limited to one year and renewals subject to Board approval.

Broker Commission Disclosure: Broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.
How working with a buyer's agent works: I work for you, not the seller. Before I show you anything, New York brokerage rules ask us to put that in writing: an agreement and a disclosure that say I work for you and negotiate on your behalf. The agreement is non-exclusive: you can work with other agents, it runs for a short fixed term we agree on, and you can end it with a note. You may attend open houses independently without an agreement. Read how it works
