40 E 80Th St

A 26-story, postwar cooperative completed in 1974, this boutique Madison Avenue residence contains roughly 25 units and presents a traditional Upper East Side profile. The masonry façade and modest lobby lead to semi-private elevator landings and two apartments per floor in most stacks, reinforcing an intimate, low-density feel uncommon in larger towers. Residences range from studios to multi-bedroom three-bedroom layouts and occasional duplexes or penthouses; many units feature private balconies or terraces and multiple exposures that capture neighborhood and park views. Interiors commonly include formal foyers, separate dining rooms, eat-in kitchens, built-in millwork, and generously proportioned closets; high-end renovations appear frequently in listings, with luxury appliance packages and marble or oak finishes noted. Building services reflect full-service “white-glove” co-op operations: a full-time doorman/porter, live-in superintendent, central laundry facilities, bike and private storage rooms, and on-site staff. Policies are cooperative-friendly to pied-à-terres, foreign buyers and pets, with varied financing allowances up to typical co-op limits; the property is on a land lease. Located at the corner of Madison Avenue and East 80th Street, the building sits steps from Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Madison Avenue shopping, and abundant dining and transit, offering a classic Upper East Side lifestyle with strong access to cultural and retail amenities.
