Tucked into the heart of Carnegie Hill between 95th and 96th Streets, 1356 Madison Avenue, known as Elmscourt, is a classic Renaissance Revival-style co-op built in the 1890s. Designed by architect Frederick Jacobson, this six-story limestone and tan brick building is part of a charming two-building complex shared with 27 East 95th Street. A wrought-iron gate leads to a peaceful courtyard that separates the two structures and brings in extra light and air—one of many thoughtful pre-war details.
Just one block from Central Park and moments from Museum Mile, beloved gourmet markets, and some of the city's best restaurants and boutiques, this is Carnegie Hill living at its most timeless and convenient. With only 23 homes across both buildings, the pet-friendly co-op offers a sense of privacy and community. Amenities include an intercom system, individual basement storage, a new elevator, and a full-time live-in superintendent. The co-op allows 75% financing, co-purchasing, guarantors, pied-a-terres, and subletting (with board approval), all in a location that blends classic charm with everyday ease.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
