About this home

Pre-Approved Conversion Opportunity.
An exceptional opportunity to convert the space to a two-bedroom apartment in one of the Upper East Side’s most desirable locations, situated on the corner of Madison Avenue and 85th Street. Both the Co-op board and the New York City Department of Buildings have approved the conversion, offering a clear and viable path to residential use.
The approved residential layout reconfigures the unit into a highly desirable two-bedroom home featuring a spacious living and dining area with an open kitchen, two bedrooms, one bathroom, a washer/dryer, an entry foyer, and ample storage throughout. This ground-floor space features very high ceilings, central air conditioning, direct access to the street, and east, west, and north exposures. Please refer to the floor plan in the listing for the suggested layout.
The current owners have recently obtained approvals from the Co-op board and Dept of Buildings Pre-Determination approval. The conversion approval plans were completed by architect Marta Satwin-Ramberg of Satwin Architect, P.C., who can also assist the new owners in obtaining final permits. The pictures were virtually staged to provide visual inspiration for the completed apartment. Whether retained as a professional office or transformed into a stylish residence, this property represents outstanding value in a premier Manhattan neighborhood.
Located on a charming, tree-lined street in the heart of Carnegie Hill, the property is just one block from Central Park, and half a block from Equinox Fitness, Butterfield Market, Starbucks, and Le Pain Quotidien Café. You are minutes away from wonderful restaurants, cafés, and designer stores. Neighborhood cultural landmarks, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim Museum, are just a few blocks away. Convenient access to the 4, 5, 6, and N, Q, R subway lines ensures seamless connectivity.
