The building’s prime location on the corner of Madison Avenue is a block away from Central Park, close to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, adjacent to local restaurants and retail, and (as of 10/16) zoned for PS 6 (a coveted elementary school). Access to public bus transportation is excellent as well.

This pet-friendly elevator building has a full-time doorman.
