1787 Madison Ave

An eight-story cooperative completed in 2003, this full-service midrise sits on Madison Avenue in Central/East Harlem. The property is composed primarily of two- and three-bedroom residences laid out with high ceilings and parquet wood floors; many units feature terraces, balconies, or dual exposures that bring abundant natural light. Apartment finishes commonly include open kitchens with breakfast bars, granite or marble counters, built-in storage, walk-in closets, and renovated bathrooms. The building’s public areas emphasize resident convenience: a staffed 24-hour attended lobby and live-in superintendent, a recently refreshed fitness room (with Peloton bikes), a large laundry facility, package and bike rooms, and on-site storage options. Outdoors there is a planted courtyard with rentable chef’s barbecue grills and private outdoor spaces for some units; community programming such as a shared library and children’s play area is noted. Operations permit primary-residence ownership only, limited subletting, and a pet-friendly policy; flip tax and financing allowances (commonly 90% financing) apply. Transportation access is strong—multiple subway lines (2/3/4/5/6) and Metro-North are within walking distance—and neighborhood assets include Marcus Garvey Park, Central Park North, grocery options like Whole Foods, and a growing corridor of restaurants and retail. Management systems include BuildingLink and multiple internet providers (Verizon Fios, Spectrum, Starry).
