Overview

Bright and airy one-bedroom residence in a classic Harlem brownstone located on Madison Avenue. The third-floor walk-up offers open western exposures, exposed brick, and high ceilings. The updated kitchen includes modern cabinetry and appliances. The building also provides common laundry for residents. The home is available July 1, 2026, and the listing notes that no pets are allowed.

Set on a tree-lined block, the property offers convenient access to multiple transit options, including the 4/5/6 and 2/3 express trains, as well as Metro-North. The surrounding area includes nearby grocery options such as Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s. Additional nearby destinations referenced include Marcus Garvey Park, Red Rooster Harlem, Sylvia’s Restaurant, and Corner Social.

This is a strong fit for a tenant seeking a character-filled one-bedroom in a brownstone setting with in-unit kitchen updates, abundant natural light, and on-site common laundry. The third-floor walk-up format may be preferred by those comfortable with stairs, and the no-pets policy should be considered when evaluating fit.
