About this House

Sun-Flooded Prewar Three BR Home



Space, light, location, prewar charm and exceptionally low maintenance all come together in this glamorous sun-flooded three-bedroom residence in one of the most sought-after buildings on the Upper East Side. Emily Post, major American taste-maker commissioned Kenneth Murchison to design this Beaux-Arts style building comprised of only 20 residences on the northeast corner of Madison Avenue and 79th Street in 1926.



From the semi-private landing, one enters the apartment into a spacious book-lined gallery/library to a grand light filled corner living room with a marble wood burning fireplace facing south and west with views of the magnificent homes that line 79th Street to Fifth Avenue. The formal dining room looks onto your own private approx. 500 sq. ft. planted patio with irrigation and lighting systems. There are three well-proportioned bedrooms each with its own bath. There is a kitchen and laundry room (formerly maid's room) and separate bathroom that could be combined to make a large eat-in-kitchen. Details include hardwood parquet floors and 9.5 feet ceilings. A separate and large staff room (10x13) is situated on the main floor - one of only three in the building - it may be used as a home office - and is included in the price.



This white glove building's prime location on the corner of Madison Avenue is just a block away from Central Park and mere minutes from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Mark, The Surrey, The Carlyle Hotel, Sant Ambroeus, and the best shopping, restaurants and galleries on the Upper East Side! Access to public transportation is excellent as well! Pet friendly. 2.5% flip tax paid by buyer and the lowest maintenance charges ever!
