About This Property
Elegant, Morning Sun-Filled 3-Bedroom in a Historic Carnegie Hill Boutique Building
Welcome to Residence 3S at rarely available 1356 Madison Avenue—an exquisitely gut-renovated, light-filled 7-room home nestled in one of Carnegie Hill’s most distinctive and charming turn-of-the-century boutique buildings. Perfectly located just one block from Central Park and moments from Museum Mile, gourmet markets, and some of the city's finest restaurants and boutiques—this is quintessential Carnegie Hill living. Offered for the first time in two decades, this gracious three-bedroom, two-bath apartment effortlessly combines timeless architectural details with refined modern updates and thoughtful functionality, turn-key and ready for immediate move-in.
High ceilings and treetop eastern views over Madison Avenue greet you as you enter the gracious, sunlit Great Room with separate areas for Living and Dining, featuring beautiful hardwood floors in a herringbone pattern. The newly renovated, windowed eat-in Kitchen is a true chef’s dream, with custom cabinetry, top-of-the-line Miele appliances, ample counter space, and generous storage. A gallery hallway leads to two secondary Bedrooms with custom millwork and a beautifully renovated windowed marble Bath. The Primary Suite is a tranquil retreat, featuring a spacious walk-in closet with built-ins and a luxurious Primary Bathroom complete with stunning book-matched slab marble on the floor and walls, oversized sink and glass enclosed shower with rains shower head.
This home has been designed to maximize space and provide a massive amount of storage throughout. Other highlights include an in-unit washer and dryer, dual-zone central air conditioning with Nest thermostats, a semi-private landing shared with only one other apartment, an extra-large, no-fee private storage bin, and over a dozen windows providing East, South and Western exposures. The apartment also enjoys very low monthly maintenance.
Built in the 1890s and known as Elmscourt, 1356 Madison Avenue is a six-story limestone and tan brick cooperative designed to maximize light and air. It is part of a charming two-building complex that shares a courtyard and features an ornate wrought-iron gate entry. With only 23 homes across both buildings, this pet-friendly Co-op offers a new elevator, full-time live-in superintendent, and intercom security. 75% financing, guarantors, co-purchasing, and pied-a-terres are permitted and subletting is allowed for a two-year period with board approval.
There is an assessment amount of $536.36 per month.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Sothebys International Realty.
The apartment already has an in-unit washer and dryer, a dishwasher, and Miele appliances in the renovated eat-in kitchen, so laundry, dishes and cooking all happen behind your own door. In a city where laundry often means leaving the apartment, that's a real everyday convenience. The kitchen has custom cabinetry, ample counter space, generous storage and a window, and it opens onto a Great Room with separate living and dining areas.
Dual-zone central air conditioning with Nest thermostats lets you set the temperature separately for different parts of the apartment, which helps in a home with three bedrooms and two baths. The primary suite has a walk-in closet with built-ins and a primary bath with book-matched marble, and the two secondary bedrooms have custom millwork.
The listing describes east, south and western exposures across more than a dozen windows. Facing south, a window can get about 8.5 hours of direct sun on a winter day and about 10 hours around the spring equinox, though nearby buildings can block some of it. The morning sun from the east is a good match for a kitchen or a breakfast routine.
The building is a six-story limestone cooperative from 1899 with 12 units, and it has an elevator and a full-time live-in superintendent. It shares a courtyard with a second building in the complex. Central Park is about 2 minutes away on foot, the 96 St station for the 6 train is about 5 minutes away, and Carnegie Market is about 3 minutes away. The listing notes that 75% financing, guarantors and co-purchasing are permitted, and that subletting is allowed for two years with board approval.
