This stylish apartment also offers a tastefully updated spa-like bath with a mahogany vanity, beautifully tiled throughout with deep soaking tub and rain shower head. There is also a chic dressing area near the bathroom with a large custom walk-in closet and linen closet; a perfect mini glamour space for getting ready to hit the New York City nightlife.

The king- sized primary bedroom features a generously sized closet, ample space for armoire or dressing table, and two large windows. 159 Madison Avenue is a pre-war co-op in Midtown South with 12 stories and approximately 118 units.
