Delivered turnkey following an extensive 18-month gut renovation commanding a substantial six-figure investment, every surface and system in this residence has been reimagined with uncompromising attention to quality. No detail was overlooked. No expense was spared. At the heart of the home, a state-of-the-art kitchen outfitted with SubZero, Wolf, and Miele appliances is anchored by elegant marble countertops and flooring from The Complete Tile Collection, striking the balance between serious culinary function and effortless beauty. The living room is defined by an operational wood-burning fireplace crowned with an exceptionally rare 18th-century French mantel from the era of Louis XV, imported directly from France. It is the kind of detail that cannot be replicated, lending the space an incomparable sense of history and warmth. Wrap-around terraces with southern and western exposures offer a scale of private outdoor living rarely found in Manhattan. Direct, unobstructed views of Central Park and the Reservoir unfold in every direction, seamlessly extending the interior living spaces and blurring the line between home and sky. The bedrooms are designed as true retreats. Ceilings were raised to a commanding 11 feet. Manhattan Shade and Glass roller blinds with blackout options ensure privacy and rest. The bathrooms are finished to the highest standard: Waterworks fixtures throughout the penthouse, a soaking tub in the second bedroom's ensuite, Glasscrafters vanities in the guest bath, a Devon & Devon toilet in the powder room, and Restoration Hardware taps and sinks topped with Carrara marble. The layout adapts effortlessly to three bedrooms if desired. Thoughtful modern infrastructure elevates every aspect of daily life. New Skyline windows deliver improved energy efficiency and sweeping panoramic views. A Miele washer/dryer is installed in-unit. Abundant closet space ensures storage is never a concern. A newly installed Mitsubishi Multi City central HVAC system with AprilAire controls provides five distinct climate zones, offering individualized comfort throughout the residence year-round. Constructed in 1936 by Wallenstein Construction Co. and designed by William M. Dowling, this full-service cooperative provides residents with full-time doormen, a live-in superintendent, a windowed laundry room, a newly landscaped rooftop terrace, a new fitness center, and a pet-friendly policy. 2% flip tax payable by the purchaser. 50% maximum financing permitted. Monthly assessment of $985 in place through 2027. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 3 - **Total Baths**: 3 - **Rooms**: 5 - **Sqft**: 2,000 sqft - **Stories**: 16 - **Year Built**: 1937 - **Price per Sqft**: $2,625 - **Common Charges**: $6,050 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Jul 23, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 45 Days ### Residence Features - Central Air - Building Inside - Balcony - Private Outdoor Space Under 60 Sqft - Dryer - Dishwasher - Washer ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 20 apartments at 1220-26 Madison Avenue have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $1,650,000 in June 2026.

Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side is $2,432,500, based on 83 sales between September 2024 and June 2026. This home is asking $5,250,000, $2,817,500 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,975,000 and $3,225,000. - **Median closed price**: $2,432,500 - **Middle half**: $1,975,000 – $3,225,000 - **Based on**: 83 co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side - **Period**: September 2024 – June 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 19 of these 83 sales (23%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest. Across the 72 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 95.9% of what it originally asked. 75% 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 Upper East Side instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 95.9% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 75% of 72 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 64 days (about 9 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 106 days (about 15 weeks) Across the 72 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 95.9% of what it originally asked. 75% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 64 days (about 9 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 77 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 106 days (about 15 weeks), based on the 77 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that. 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 83 co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side, September 2024 – June 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 co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side, 2017 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 | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $2,990,000 | 37 | | 2018 | $2,250,000 | 40 | | 2019 | $2,089,500 | 36 | | 2020 | $1,985,000 | 27 | | 2021 | $2,003,666 | 59 | | 2022 | $2,120,000 | 75 | | 2023 | $2,100,000 | 45 | | 2024 | $2,125,000 | 38 | | 2025 | $2,237,500 | 51 | | 2026 | $3,060,000 | 24 | 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 Upper East Side 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.
