1401 Madison Avenue is the kind of building that lingers in your memory. Built in 1865 in the heart of Bolton Hill, it carries the quiet charm of another era—graceful, grounded, and full of character.
The building is a classic walk-up, with wide staircases and original banisters that bear the patina of time. Inside each apartment, you’ll find carefully preserved details: hardwood floors that creak softly underfoot, tall ceilings with decorative plasterwork, and stained glass accents that scatter color across the walls on sunny afternoons. Some units feature ornate fireplaces, bay windows, and arched doorways—elements that make the space feel more like a story unfolding than just a place to live.
Modern comforts blend seamlessly with historic architecture. Kitchens feature stainless steel appliances and gas ranges; many units have in-unit laundry, updated bathrooms, and walk-in closets. Though no two apartments are exactly the same, they all share a sense of quiet elegance and intentional design.
Outside, a shared courtyard offers a private retreat—brick-lined and tree-shaded, perfect for an evening glass of wine or a quiet morning with coffee. There's no gym, no rooftop deck, no concierge—and that's part of the appeal. What 1401 Madison offers instead is a feeling: of warmth, of authenticity, of home.
It’s not a building that tries to impress. It’s one that invites you in, slowly, and stays with you.
