Overview of The Residence on Madison at 1080 Madison Avenue

The Residence on Madison is a distinguished limestone clad condominium at 1080 Madison Avenue, built in 1981 and designed by renowned architect Thierry W. Despont and Emil Steo. This boutique building contains just 35 apartments with only two units per floor, ensuring exceptional privacy and exclusivity. The elegant lobby features a striking violin sculpture by acclaimed artist Arman, setting the tone for this full service building that includes a concierge, 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent and common garden.

Residences feature soaring 13 foot ceilings, hardwood floors, central air conditioning, and semi private elevator landings. Many apartments have oversized windows with eastern and western exposures, providing abundant natural light and views of Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art from western facing units. The building offers diverse layouts ranging from one bedroom apartments to a spectacular triplex penthouse with a 50 foot terrace and magnificent open views. High end finishes are common, with kitchens typically equipped with state of the art appliances including Sub-Zero refrigerators, Viking ranges, and Miele dishwashers.

The location is unparalleled, situated just one block from Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Museum Mile. Residents enjoy immediate access to Madison Avenue's celebrated boutiques, gourmet markets, and fine dining establishments, while being steps away from world class cultural institutions including the Guggenheim and Neue Galerie. The building permits pets and pied-à-terre ownership, with some units featuring private balconies and terraces that overlook tree lined streets and townhouse gardens.

Broker & Buyer Comments

Add Your Own Comment

This "thoughtfully designed" tower features a "clever setback" that helps it blend seamlessly with the streetscape. The "boutique-style" floor plans offer just two units per floor, while some residents have created "grand combinations." The "coveted" penthouse boasts "soaring" 13' ceilings, and the location is simply "dreamy."
