## Property Overview

Welcome to an exceptional penthouse residence at The Madera, a boutique elevator condominium in the heart of Central Harlem. Thoughtfully redesigned from top to bottom with more than $100,000 in improvements, this turnkey one-bedroom combines sophisticated interiors, two private outdoor spaces, and a level of finish rarely found at this price point.

Step directly from the fob-controlled elevator into your private elevator landing, beautifully transformed with Italian marble flooring and recessed lighting. Penthouse A offers more than 900 square feet of combined interior and private outdoor space, creating a truly unique indoor-outdoor living experience.

Inside, new oak hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by extensive recessed lighting, a dramatic tray ceiling in the living room, adjustable LED lighting, and a modern mini-split HVAC system providing year-round heating and cooling.

The open kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a waterfall-style breakfast bar, and stainless-steel Samsung appliances. The renovated bathroom is equally striking, with a glass-enclosed shower, oversized rainfall showerhead, geometric stone-patterned tile, herringbone shower flooring, brass-toned fixtures, a modern vanity, and an illuminated mirror.

Oversized windows bring in excellent natural light and frame open views over Central Harlem’s treetops and historic architecture. The spacious 14' x 11'2" bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-size bed, while the apartment offers generous storage throughout, plus a private storage cage in the basement.

Just off the living room, an 11-foot-wide private balcony offers a peaceful outdoor retreat. Upstairs, the home’s signature feature awaits: an approximately 300-square-foot private roof deck measuring 20'6" x 14'6", with open northern city views and plenty of room for dining, lounging, entertaining, and greenery.

The Madera offers low monthly common charges, a tax abatement currently in place through 2028, complimentary laundry, a virtual doorman and package room, a furnished backyard patio with BBQ grill, and a friendly superintendent. Washer and dryer allowed with board approval.

The best of Central Harlem is right outside your door, with Red Rooster, Sylvia’s, Corner Social, Lenox Coffee, Harlem Pilates, and Pioneer Grocery nearby. Whole Foods is just five blocks south, with Trader Joe’s also within easy reach.

Transportation is exceptionally convenient, with access to the 2, 3, A, C, B, D, 4, 5, and 6 trains nearby, plus the M1 bus around the corner, offering convenient service downtown along Fifth Avenue and Central Park.

A beautifully reimagined home, two private outdoor spaces, a private elevator arrival, and the culture and energy of Harlem just outside your door. The residence is also available fully furnished, offering the ultimate turnkey experience—simply bring your luggage, move in, and enjoy.

Sales data through August 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.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1017261011. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
