Description

This exquisite pre-war one-bedroom residence spans over 750 square with a private enclosed balcony. Offering southeastern exposures, this quiet sanctuary is graced with custom built in recessed lighting, stunning light fixtures and generously proportioned living and sleeping spaces. The lovely open concept layout of the living and dining area creates an airy feel with a sizeable private outdoor terrace spacious enough for a full outdoor sofa seating.

This stylish apartment also offers a tastefully updated spa-like bath with a mahogany vanity, beautifully tiled throughout with deep soaking tub and rain shower head. There is also a chic dressing area near the bathroom with a large custom walk-in closet and linen closet; a perfect mini glamour space for getting ready to hit the New York City nightlife.

The king- sized primary bedroom features a generously sized closet, ample space for armoire or dressing table, and two large windows. 159 Madison Avenue is a pre-war co-op in Midtown South with 12 stories and approximately 118 units. The building includes live-in super, a full-time doorman, laundry located on every floor and a common roof deck.
