## Property Overview

Welcome to Residence 9B at 159 Madison Avenue - a refined, prewar sanctuary reimagined for modern Midtown South living.

 Set within the distinguished Murray Hill Plaza, this boutique 12-story cooperative marries 1911 architectural character with contemporary sophistication, offering an intimate yet full-service lifestyle in one of Manhattan's most connected neighborhoods.

   The Home

  Perched on a high floor, Residence 9B opens into a warm, light-filled interior framed by rich wood floors and an effortless, linear flow. The layout is intentionally designed to maximize volume and function, creating a home that feels both calming and intelligently scaled.

 The kitchen is a standout: a sleek, highly efficient workspace anchored by a six-burner gas induction cooktop-an elevated detail that reflects purpose and precision. Custom double-hung cabinetry and generous pantry storage keep the space clean, organized, and visually streamlined.

 Recessed lighting guides you through the living area, where proportions strike the right balance between everyday comfort and easy entertaining.

   The Terrace

  A private terrace-rare at this price point-extends the living experience outdoors. Whether it's a quiet morning coffee or an evening with friends, this is your personal escape, tucked above the hum of the city.

   The Building

  Murray Hill Plaza delivers the conveniences expected of a well-run prewar cooperative:

  Full-time doorman

  Elevator

  Expansive furnished roof deck with sweeping skyline views

   The Location

  Positioned at the nexus of Midtown South, NoMad, and Murray Hill, 159 Madison sits moments from celebrated dining, boutique fitness, cultural institutions, and seamless east-west transportation. It's a neighborhood defined by lifestyle-dynamic by day, refined by night.

   The Offering

  Residence 9B is an opportunity to claim a thoughtfully upgraded, move-in-ready home in a building that pairs heritage with modernity. It's where functionality meets quiet luxury-an address that performs as beautifully as it lives.

 Experience the appeal of 159 Madison Avenue. Showings available by appointment.

  Maintenance increase of 3% for all units in the building starting February 2026.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sale-to-list price**: 96.7% (11 sales)
- **Sold below asking**: 82% (11 sales)
- **Typical time to find a buyer**: 110 days (11 sales)
- **Typical time to close**: 78 days (11 sales)

Based on one-bedroom sales at 159 Madison Avenue with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Sales data through July 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
