1095 Madison Avenue

The building presents a dignified, restrained masonry facade in keeping with the early-century Madison Avenue stock — a corner composition that reads as solid and gracious rather than ornate, in the manner of 1912 apartment houses built for permanence. The corner siting pulls light into the residences on both the Madison and 83rd Street exposures.

Inside, the homes are the story. The roughly 30 residences carry the deep proportions of their era — real foyers, separated public and private wings, high ceilings, and substantial room counts — and over the building's long life several apartments have been combined into larger layouts, a hallmark of established Madison Avenue co-ops where shareholders expand into the homes around them. The result is a building of large, individually distinctive apartments rather than a uniform line stack.

1095 Madison runs as a white-glove, full-service cooperative: a full-time doorman, an attended lobby, and a live-in superintendent who maintains a building that has stood for over a century. Basement storage is available. The building is pet-friendly. Admissions follow a co-op board application and interview; confirm the board's current financing, liquidity, ownership, occupancy and subletting requirements from its governing documents and application instructions.

Recent sales

Recent transfers at this building, from The Roebling Research Library. Prices are the transfer amounts recorded with the NYC Department of Finance; apartment-level detail is checked against the building’s own file in The Roebling Research Library before publishing.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,929/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 1.8% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01494-0050). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

Buy the apartment, not the average. In a building of large, frequently combined homes, every available unit is genuinely its own proposition — identify the layout, exposure, and floor you need, and price each on its own merits. The combined spreads are the rarest and most sought-after when they appear. Come prepared for a conventional co-op board package and interview, plan financing to a conservative standard, and budget for standard New York co-op closing costs. The pet policy, full-time doorman, and live-in super are exactly the operations you want at this address.

Lead with location and scale. A corner Carnegie Hill address a block from Central Park, white-glove full-service operation, and a large, distinctive pre-war apartment are the differentiators here. Price against the building's own recent trades and the comparable upper-Madison pre-war set rather than against larger or newer buildings, and stage to let the proportions and the light read. In a small building of individually distinctive homes, a clean, board-ready package and a smooth, well-priced sale protect the value of the next one.
