159 Madison Ave - The One to Own in NoMad Bright, south-facing, and impossibly well-located — this is the one-bedroom everyone is looking for in this part of town. Perched in the landmark Manice Building — a 12-story Renaissance Revival loft masterpiece built 1911-1912 — this residence delivers soaring 10-foot ceilings and a true loft-like sense of volume and light you just don't find anymore. The open, updated kitchen is done right with stainless steel appliances, elegant stone counters, and designer tile backsplash. In the living room, custom sliding glass doors allow you to fully enclose the space — perfect for a true live/work setup, a private home office, or a second sleeping area. The king-size bedroom easily accommodates a king bed plus a substantial work area — rare in Manhattan. Completing the home is a fully tiled, timeless bath with modern fixtures, recessed lighting, beautiful hardwood floors, three generous closets, and convenient laundry on the 6th floor. Location is everything: Just blocks from Madison Square Park, Grand Central Terminal, and Penn Station. Everything you want is outside your door. And the building gets it: Co-purchasing, parents buying for children, gifting, and guarantors (NYS residents) permitted. Pet-friendly under 40 lbs and subletting after 2 years permitted, each subject to board approval. This is that rare combination of historic grandeur, modern convenience, and NoMad location — the apartment to buy in this neighborhood right now. All measurements and square footages are approximate.
