1281 MADISON Avenue TH1

Boutique Madison Avenue living in this intimate one-bedroom condominium that blends classic charm with modern convenience. Nestled in the heart of Carnegie Hill Historic District, just one block from Central Park and Museum Mile, this sun-filled home features high ceilings, large windows, and charming architectural details that make every room feel spacious and inviting.

Located three flights up in a private townhouse-style building, the residence offers an entire floor of quiet, privacy, and boutique character, something rarely found in typical high-rise towers. Serene east-facing views overlook the lush townhouse gardens of East 91st Street, filling the generous living and dining area with natural light. The west facing windows offer a timeless view over Madison Avenue.

The apartment itself has been restored, blending modern upgrades with historic charm. Inside, you'll find a steam shower, recessed lighting, built-in surround sound, and two mini-split systems for central air. Yet some of the original character remains intact, with hardwood floors, high ceilings, cast iron radiators, and pocket shutters that highlight the home's pre-war heritage.

There are two separate central cooling systems in the apartment for added comfort - one for the bedroom and one for the living area.

Though charmingly residential, 1281 Madison Avenue is connected to and shares doorman services with the neighboring 47 East 91st Street. These two separate properties are part of the same condominium. This unique configuration offers the intimacy and elegance of a historic townhouse with just two residences, alongside the convenience of a full-time concierge, 24-hour doorman for packages, video security, and handyman services. The apartment has a video intercom and security system. Packages, laundry and cold storage for food can be delivered to 47 East 91st.

Just moments from cafés, galleries, boutique shopping, and world-class cultural institutions, this home embodies the Carnegie Hill lifestyle, intimate, convenient, and timeless. A rare opportunity to own a Madison Avenue condominium that combines historic elegance, boutique privacy, and full-service amenities, all just moments from Central Park.
