Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
A private balcony opens off the dining area of this two-bedroom, two-bath duplex at 1080 Madison Avenue, so you can step outside from where you eat. Once you're standing on it, check how much room it gives you, since that will decide how you use it.
The living and dining areas get light from oversized east-facing windows. In winter, direct sun reaches an east window from about 7:41 AM to 11:14 AM, roughly 3.6 hours. The bedroom wing has a western exposure and afternoon light, and in winter a west window gets sun from about 12:34 PM to 4:07 PM. Nearby buildings can block some of that, so it's worth seeing what's across the way at the time you visit.
The kitchen is large and separate, with ample custom cabinetry, marble countertops and backsplashes, stone floors, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Miele dishwasher. A dishwasher is one of those daily conveniences you stop noticing until you don't have one. The bedroom wing has two king-sized bedrooms, one of which doubles as a home office, four spacious closets and two marble bathrooms.
The full-time doorman, the on-site private laundry facility and the dedicated storage bin are practical support for daily life, and the elevator opens onto a semi-private landing shared with just one other residence. Central Park is about 3 minutes away on foot, the Metropolitan Museum of Art about 4 minutes, and the 86 St station about 8 minutes, where the 4, 5 and 6 trains run.
