Carter’s Review

"This very handsome and dignified, red-brick apartment building at occupies the entire Madison Avenue blockfront between 36th and 37th streets across from The Morgan Library.

It was built in 1940 and designed by Kenneth B. Norton, who also designed the similar Helmsley Carlton House on Madison Avenue between 60th and 61st streets."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "gracious" 1940s cooperative offers "classic prewar charm" in a "prime Murray Hill location." The "full-service" building boasts a "comprehensive" amenity package including doorman, concierge, and a "coveted" roof deck, while its position provides "ideal access" to Midtown's business district. Set in a neighborhood known for its "elegant townhouse blocks" and "vibrant restaurant scene," this 15-story building delivers "Manhattan convenience" with a "established residential feel."
