Property Description for 1919 Madison Ave, GARDEN 1

FREE-MARKET FIND: 1919 Madison Avenue is NOT income restricted at all -- this is now an entirely free market, full-service, building.

MARVELOUS, MASTERFUL, MOVE-IN STYLE STUNNER w/PRIVATE PATIO BY THE PARK

RARE, RENOVATED, BIG & PRISTINE LOVINGLY CREATED BY ARCHITECT/DESIGNER OWNER

PARK-SIDE, FULL-SERVICE, MARKET RATE ADDRESS w/GYM, GARDEN, STORAGE & PARKING (wait list)

Here’s a rare mix of downtown lofty sexiness with big, uptown scale and tranquility — a voluminous, gorgeous, garden level loft-like patio home with a big scale and big soul. Lovingly renovated by its talented owner/architect, this fantastic find is one of the best open-plan homes you'll discover by Marcus Garvey Park. Above you, ceilings soar to 10 feet; underfoot are handsome Oak wide planks; and everywhere you look there is smart, elegant, elevated style and design.

The living/dining room is an open-flow entertaining great room graced by a dramatic, floor-to-ceiling wall of good looking — and practical —built-ins. (Try to find the hidden walk-in closet and the step-in office!) Gorgeous tree-line, garden views brighten this entire space, and bring it a special house-like quality. Graced by a lovely and leafy, private patio, this home enjoys the benefits of an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Morning coffees, evening wines, and al fresco meals amongst the trees and plants expand the entire space with peaceful, brightness and verdant cheer.

The open kitchen is glorious -- offering a dining bar, custom cabinetry, a suite of top-tier appliances, ample stone-capped counters and a fabulous, functional design that thoughtfully complements this vibrant, head-turner of a home.

Overscaled and spa-inspired, the big, beautiful bathroom offers a step-in shower, impressive storage and fixtures, impressive tilework and an elevated style that elevates the vibe of this resplendent residence.

The bedroom suite is masterful in scale and design. King-sized and peaceful, this bright abode offers more leafy patio peeks, wonderful built-ins, room for a sitting area, and a walk-in closet that will make your jaw drop.

This designer, one-of-a-kind home feels good -- its creative style and smart design dovetail perfectly, enhancing its grand scale and comfortable calm. The plumbing and electrical systems have been redone. The AC units are through the wall, so the big windows of this sunshiny corner home are unencumbered. Heat, hot water, and storage are all included in the maintenance cost, and good living abounds.

Sweetly nestled on the lovely garden level of its prized building on Marcus Garvey Park, this prized patio home enjoys all the benefits of its pet-friendly, full service Maple Plaza address. With its own storage space and a building laundry right next door, this supremely designed residence has easy proximity to the building courtyard garden, the gym ($10/month), playroom, bike room and building parking (waitlist & fee).

Nearby is Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and access to every prime area cultural, dining, shopping, educational, and entertainment destination. Transportation is easy with close proximity to the 2,3,4,5, 6, Metro North, and multiple bus lines. Life here is easy, convenient, and fun.

There is a unique treasure by the garden -- stylish and graceful -- with pretty patio days and elegant, comfy nights awaiting you. Come find it. Come feel it. Come live it.

East Harlem | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Take a stroll through East Harlem and you’ll find a vibrant, culturally diverse neighborhood, which is evident no matter which direction you look. East Harlem is also known as Spanish Harlem, El Barrio, and “The Neighborhood,” as it is home to a population that represents Hispanic immigrants, primarily from Puerto Rico, as well as from Mexico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic. These immigrants brought their cultures with them, in the form of music, dance, art, and food. During the day, you’ll find the neighborhood filled with opportunities to experience Latin culture. Both the salsa dance craze and the graffiti style of art were born right in East Harlem. There are many great places to sample authentic cuisine, from Rao’s (where you cannot get a table unless you inherit one, and any reservations must be booked years in advance) to sidewalk carts, where you can get the best “street meat” to be had in NYC.

In East Harlem you’ll find a number of innovative educational opportunities in the form of specialized and charter schools that are considered top-notch. Many of these have very competitive admissions criteria and offer curricula that focus on creativity and social awareness. Such schools are a draw for young families that want to raise their children in an educational system that goes above and beyond the standard.

The vibe of East Harlem is one of community and neighbors that interact with each other routinely. There are many small, family-owned and -operated businesses and restaurants that have been neighborhood anchors for years. As you stroll through East Harlem, you will be immersed in sights, sounds and flavors that are straight from Latin American or the Caribbean islands, sometimes both at once. You can sample Puerto Rican-inspired plantain mofongo, which is mashed plantains with garlic and pork rinds, from local sidewalk carts. Or if it is a hot summer’s day, you might enjoy a Mexican-inspired licuado, which is a blended drink similar to a smoothie, made with milk, fruit, and ice. Sometimes, spices, citrus juices, and sugar are added. Although you will find an abundance of authentic cuisine and music no matter where you look in East Harlem.

Prefer to cook at home? East River Plaza offers Target, Costco, and Aldi stores, all of which offer fresh food at reasonable prices.

East Harlem housing consists of more affordable walk-ups, low-rise pre-war buildings, brownstones, and is dominated housing complexes. You can find some comparatively large apartments at reasonable price points, and even some rent-stabilized apartments. Luxury co-op and condo units are being built on the southern boundary of East Harlem.
