Built in the 1890s and known as Elmscourt, 1356 Madison Avenue is a six-story limestone and tan brick cooperative designed to maximize light and air. It is part of a charming two-building complex that shares a courtyard and features an ornate wrought-iron gate entry. With only 23 homes across both buildings, this pet-friendly Co-op offers a new elevator, full-time live-in superintendent, and intercom security. 75% financing, guarantors, co-purchasing, and pied-a-terres are permitted and subletting is allowed for a two-year period with board approval.
