Carter’s Review

"This 16-story, pre-war apartment building at 244 Madison Avenue on the southwest corner at 38th Street is known as the Murray Hill Plaza.

The building, which is also known as 20 West 38th Street, is a cooperative and has a doorman, high ceilings and a roof deck. It permits cats but not dogs."

Broker & Buyer Comments

Please note that these comments have not been reviewed or confirmed by CityRealty and may be old, incomplete or otherwise inaccurate. Be sure to consult with a qualified real estate specialist for up-to-date information.

There is nothing like the character of a pre-war building. This once commercial building is now a residential co-op. The Board has approved the process of updating the common hallway areas with new carpeting and painted walls. The lobby area is all marble with a small waiting area. The laundry room is towards the back of the lobby past the mailroom.

They were very co-operative and approved my Buyer without delay.

With the hustle and bustle of Midtown combined with a Madison Avenue address you are surrounded by a variety of shops and dining. The Murray Hill Plaza is centally located to transportation on 34th Street and 42nd Street.
