Building: 1318 Madison Avenue

A remarkable opportunity to own the residential portion of a newly gut renovated Carnegie Hill townhouse. Located just one block off Central Park, 1318 Madison is just steps away from luxury boutiques, famous landmarks, museums, and schools.

The townhouse blends a wealth of architecturally stunning details with all the comforts of a modern home. The twelve-foot ceilings and side windows combine for an overabundance of natural light. The floor flows seamlessly with a raised den facing Madison Ave and continues on towards the transitional Canadian kitchen by the rear terrace. The kitchen features Wolf appliances and a Subzero refrigerator and wine cooler. The cabinetry has slow closing draws, and high-end walnut finished interiors. The newly created half bathroom on the first floor boasts custom made Canadian cabinetry, Carrara Marble stonework, and a waterfall faucet. Such details speak to the exceptional quality and craftsmanship of the house.

The steps up to the second floor are made of original 100+ year old oak. The process of restoring the original staircase took many months and required an incredible amount of talent, focus, and detail. The staircase adds character and authenticity to the townhouse.

Up the steps are the living and master bedroom. The master bedroom has its own private terrace, as well as a custom-made walk-through closet. The master bathroom features two German made Dornbracht shower heads and a Dornbracht faucet. The bathroom has heated floors, a Toto toilet, Canadian cabinetry, and features Arabescato Carrara Marble.

On the top floor resides two bedrooms and bathrooms as well as a laundry closet. The easternmost bathroom features Persian white Marble, an American made MTI Andrea 6 bathtub, and a glass top white lacquered finished vanity from Spain. It also features a Dornbracht faucet and shower head. The bathroom in the rear is designed like a spa. The porcelain tiles and cabinetry are sourced from Porcelanosa – and a Toto toilet and Dornbracht shower head can be found as well.

Leveled White American Oak floors is a huge feature within the house. The building structure was reinforced and insulation was added between floors. Leveled oak floors is truly a luxury rarely found in old Manhattan townhouses.
Nest thermostats on each floor control the house’s central AC and forced air. The AC condensers sit on the brand-new roof. There is one condenser for each floor. The heat is gas based with air handlers on each floor as well.

Smart house options are limitless. Every room in the house has multiple Cat-five connections as well as phone hookups and wiring to alarm windows. Already featured is a WiFi activated Heos surround sound system. There are three camera’s (while more can be added) that feed into both a cell phone app and two high end monitors. Because of all the wiring, TV’s are capable of being mounted directly on the wall without a cable box or any wires showing. Any state-of-the-art alarm system can be installed cleanly – without running new wiring. The options are limitless.

The townhouse is 2,684 square feet. In addition, there are two private terraces that combine to over 400 square feet. The townhouse sits above a retail store that is responsible for sidewalk/snow cleanup and provides an extra layer of comfort. Though not on the market, there can be an option to purchase the retail portion as well.
