From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Sun-Filled Studio | High Ceilings | Exceptional Storage Welcome to Residence 6E, a bright and generously proportioned studio offering impressive scale, abundant storage, and classic prewar character in the heart of Manhattan. South-facing windows fill the apartment with natural light, while approximately 10-foot ceilings enhance the sense of openness throughout. The expansive 18' x 17'6" living and sleeping area provides the flexibility to comfortably create distinct spaces for sleeping, lounging, dining, and working from home. The separate kitchen keeps the main living space open and uncluttered, while an entry hallway lined with multiple fitted closets provides exceptional storage rarely found in a studio. Updated hardwood-paneled closet doors add a clean, streamlined finish. The bathroom features a timeless black-and-white design with subway tile, mosaic flooring, a glass-enclosed tub and shower, dark-wood vanity, mirrored storage, and floating shelves. 159 Madison Avenue is a prewar cooperative offering full-time doorman service, a live-in superintendent, elevator, laundry facilities, a furnished roof deck, bike storage, and additional storage. The building is pet-friendly and permits pied--terres, co-purchasing, guarantors, and parents purchasing for children, subject to board approval. Ideally positioned at the crossroads of NoMad, Murray Hill, Midtown South, and Koreatown, the location puts an incredible selection of restaurants, cafs, shopping, and transportation just outside your door. The 6 train at 33rd Street is moments away, with Herald Square and multiple subway and PATH connections nearby. A rare combination of space, light, storage, and convenience at an exceptional value.
