From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

220 Madison Ave. #5G - Tucked away in the heart of Midtown East, Apartment 5G at the John Murray House offers something increasingly rare in Manhattan: a studio home that feels spacious & calm the moment you walk through the door. The thoughtful layout separates living, dining, dressing and cooking spaces, creating the feel of a true home rather than a typical studio. A gracious foyer welcomes you inside before opening into an expansive living room with soaring ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, classic crown moldings and oversized west-facing windows that fill the apartment with afternoon light. The windowed galley kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring generous cabinetry, appliances and natural light-a feature that's becoming harder to find in New York City. Just beyond the foyer, a separate dressing area provides exceptional storage and serves as the perfect transition to the renovated bathroom, adding privacy and organization rarely found in studio living. Here's a fun bonus: if you're willing to lean just a little out the window (safely, of course!), you'll catch a glimpse of the Empire State Building rising above the neighboring rooftops. Consider it one of Manhattan's best little hidden surprises. When you're ready for the full skyline experience, simply head upstairs. The beautifully furnished rooftop terrace delivers panoramic city views-including front-row seats to the Empire State Building-making it an ideal spot for morning coffee, sunset cocktails or simply enjoying one of New York's most iconic skylines. The John Murray House Located at 220 Madison Avenue between 36th and 37th Streets, the John Murray House is one of Murray Hill's most desirable full-service prewar cooperatives, offering: 24-hour doorman Live-in superintendent Spectacular furnished roof deck Laundry room Bike room Storage (subject to availability) On-site garage Pet friendly (up to 35 lbs.) Pied-a-terre, co-purchasing and gifting permitted (subject to board approval) 1.5% Flip tax Perfectly positioned just moments from Grand Central Terminal, Bryant Park, the New York Public Library, Fifth Avenue shopping and countless restaurants and cafes, this home places the very best of Midtown Manhattan right outside your front door while providing a surprisingly peaceful retreat to come home to.
