Welcome to Apartment 5A at 244 Madison Avenue!
Discover this beautifully renovated, oversized one-bedroom residence with 12-foot ceilings, exceptional storage space, all in the heart of Manhattan.
Quiet and thoughtfully designed, this spacious home offers a versatile layout, including a separate dining room—a rare feature among apartments in this line—which provides an excellent opportunity to create a second bedroom or home office. The soaring ceilings and generous proportions create an open, airy feel throughout.
One of the apartment’s most unique features is its significant overhead attic storage space spanning the entire area above both the kitchen and bathroom, offering an exceptional amount of additional storage rarely found in Manhattan apartments. The home also boasts abundant closet space, including a large entry closet, an additional hallway closet, and a bedroom closet. The bedroom features a charming nook that can easily accommodate a home office, dressing area, or additional storage.
The beautifully renovated kitchen features sleek Porcelanosa countertops and cabinetry, complemented by stainless steel appliances. Just off the kitchen, a cozy alcove offers the perfect setting for a breakfast nook, casual dining area, or additional sitting space. The modern bathroom is equally impressive, featuring a spacious stall shower, stylish Porcelanosa fixtures, and contemporary tilework.
244 Madison Avenue is a charming prewar co-op offering a full-time doorman, central laundry room, and a beautifully appointed roof deck with Wi-Fi. The building allows co-purchasing, pied-à-terre ownership, and unlimited subletting after 2 years of ownership, providing exceptional flexibility.
Ideally situated at 244 Madison Avenue, the building is surrounded by some of Manhattan’s best conveniences, including Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Bryant Park, and Grand Central Terminal, with Penn Station also nearby. Multiple subway lines (4/5/6, 7, S, N/Q/R, and B/D/F/M) provide easy access throughout the city.
