220 Madison Ave

The John Murray House is a 15-story, pre‑war cooperative constructed in 1940 and located on Madison Avenue in Murray Hill. Architecturally classic, the property retains period details—high beamed ceilings, parquet hardwood and crown moldings—alongside modernized interiors such as renovated windowed kitchens with stone counters and upgraded bathrooms. Unit mix ranges from studios and alcove studios to one- and two‑bedroom layouts, including occasional duplexes and homes with private terraces. Common areas emphasize traditional residential formality: a restored lobby with a sitting room, long hallways recently redecorated, and generous closet and storage provisions. Building amenities are full‑service in scope and include a 24‑hour doorman, live‑in superintendent, on‑site garage, central laundry and bicycle room, basement storage, and a landscaped, furnished roof deck with skyline and Empire State Building views. The property is pet‑friendly and allows pied‑à‑terres; management has completed corridor and elevator renovations and maintains an active capital reserve program. Sited directly across from the Morgan Library and within easy walking distance of Grand Central, Penn Station, Bryant Park and neighborhood grocery and retail, the building supports an urban lifestyle centered on transit access, cultural institutions and midtown conveniences.
