The Leonori is a prewar condominium near Central Park with a full-time doorman and elevator, surrounded by high-end amenities and attractions. The building welcomes pets, includes basement storage, and has recently undergone a $700,000 renovation of its lobby and elevators. Currently, 1 apartment is for sale.
The Leonori is a 13 story, 67 unit pre-war condominium at Madison Avenue and East 63rd Street, originally completed in 1901 as an apartment hotel with a rooftop dining room. Designed by Buchman & Fox for developer Maximilian Morgenthau, it was Madison Avenue’s tallest apartment building on the Upper East Side at completion and took its name from lessee Charles L. Leonori. The original apartment hotel became a condominium in 1983, two years after an investment group led by David Berley acquired it.
The limestone clad Beaux Arts building has a three story rusticated base and arched windows. In 1922, its Madison Avenue portico and lobby frontage were replaced by storefronts with iron Ionic pilasters designed by Jardine, Hill & Murdoch, and the residential entrance moved to East 63rd Street. The Leonori is part of the Upper East Side Historic District and has a renovated travertine lobby.
Many apartments have ceilings ranging from about 9 to 11 feet, oversized windows, hardwood floors, windowed kitchens, central air conditioning, and in-unit laundry. Formal entrance galleries and generously proportioned living and dining rooms recur in the larger layouts. The most unusual residence is a duplex penthouse occupying the top two floors, with a rooftop solarium opening to a terrace oriented toward Central Park.
The building has a 24 hour doorman and concierge, resident and bicycle storage, and a pet friendly policy. Central Park is one block west, while Grand Army Plaza and the Central Park Zoo are several blocks southwest. Actor Samuel L. Jackson has been a resident.
