Take in warm western light, hardwood floors, and extra-tall ceilings in this wide-open studio offering a flexible floor plan ready to accommodate generous living and sleeping areas and an abundance of closet space, including a spacious walk-in closet! The open kitchen is outfitted with full-size appliances and plenty of cabinet space, while the breakfast bar provides convenient seating for casual dining. 159 Madison is a prewar co-op building offering a full-time doorman, storage, laundry on every floor, plus a beautifully landscaped roof deck.

Surrounded by the Kips Bay, Murray Hill, and NoMad neighborhoods, the location represents the best of Manhattan living with great restaurants, shops, and entertainment at every turn.
