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.

This home is asking $765,000, $215,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $445,000 and $625,000. - **Median closed price**: $550,000 - **Middle half**: $445,000 – $625,000 - **Based on**: 41 condo one-bedroom sales in Central Harlem - **Period**: October 2024 – May 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $953/ft² Across the 34 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 95.2% of what it originally asked. 71% of them closed below the original ask. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Central Harlem instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 95.2% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 71% of 34 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 104 days (about 15 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 62 days (about 9 weeks) Across the 34 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 95.2% of what it originally asked. 71% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 104 days (about 15 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 36 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 62 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 36 with both dates recorded. 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. Based on 41 condo one-bedroom sales in Central Harlem, October 2024 – May 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median sold price for condo and house one-bedroom sales in Central Harlem, 2016 to 2026. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth. | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $510,000 | 19 | | 2017 | $556,550 | 38 | | 2018 | $532,000 | 19 | | 2020 | $693,796 | 14 | | 2021 | $598,000 | 27 | | 2022 | $450,000 | 19 | | 2023 | $440,000 | 13 | | 2024 | $585,000 | 19 | | 2025 | $542,500 | 18 | | 2026 | $525,000 | 11 | This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Central Harlem instead. 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.
