159 Madison Avenue Midtown East Apartment For Sale

Sitting on the pen-ultimate floor of a full-service cooperative, apartment #11G features 9.5 ceilings, over-sized windows and a lovely western exposure. The kitchen has been re-imagined from the original floor plan, repositioning the refrigerator, which has allowed for additional storage by way of cabinets and a pull-out pantry.

The open kitchen opens up into the living room, allowing for a two-person breakfast bar experience. The current owner has added a floor-to-ceiling customized closet on the western wall of the living room courtesy of TransForm, adding to the many storage options found throughout the home. The wood strip floors throughout the living room are in excellent shape, and the living room window overlooks Madison Avenue towards the west. All electric & lighting boxes have been replaced throughout with Legrand Adorne Smart Outlets & Switches, all covered with Custom Alligator Embossed Thermofoil plates. The outlets include USB in the living room & bedroom. The bathroom features attractive subway tile and polished chrome fixtures, in addition to a Fresca medicine cabinet with LED lighting.

A full-sized (and customized, naturally) bi-fold closet in the hallway across from the bathroom allows for even more storage for clothing, shoes or general utility. In the bedroom, the owner has added fully a customized (California) white-lacquered closet system complete with rods, shelves and drawers, maximizing every square inch of this very special home.
