Building Description

The 1261 Madison Avenue Apartments are a collection of 16 units in a seven-story residential co-op building designed in 1900 by Buchman & Fox. It was one of the first luxury apartment buildings to be built in Carnegie Hill, and it was completed in 1901. The sixth floor is famous for its cast iron common balcony that surrounds the building. This emulates a style that was common in Europe at the time, but a rarity in New York City. The roof is a tiled mansard, and the base is rusticated limestone.

Amenities include an elevator, a bike room, a live-in super, additional available storage, and laundry services in the building. Washers and dryers are also permitted in each unit. The 86th Street subway station is three-tenths of a mile away. The closest school, P.S. 006, is 0.61 miles away. Madison Avenue offers elite high-end shopping, particularly for apparel and personal items. For families, the address is within five blocks of three different museums, and just two blocks away is Central Park, notably the prominent Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir.
