Eclectic is the word for 15 Madison Square North. Its design has been called neoclassic, and that style pretty much spreads through the whole development. The 24-hour attended lobby introduces the building nicely, with its mix of traditional and modern decor. Extravagant sofas take visitors back to an easier age, while the Tibetan rugs remind them that there is a whole other world out there.

Similarly, the interiors of 15 Madison Square North units, boasting the contemporary designs of Nathan Egan interiors, will leave the senses straddling two worlds. Chocolate brown walnut floors definitely draw the mind to the times of old, when furniture and cabinetry were constructed of this straight-grained wood. If you follow the flooring into the kitchen, the ambiance changes in front of you. Professional-grade, stainless-steel appliances put the family chef fully into the 21st Century. Neat lines and an efficient design add to the modern theme.

Finally, enter a fantastical world in the master bath, with its combination of marble finishes and Waterworks designs throughout. On a different note, the room has one of the only double-vanity sinks in the world of new condo developments. Something so simple shouldn’t make such an impact, but when a couple can stand frozen in the same room for the short twenty minutes it takes to get ready for work and bed, it can make a big difference in communication value.

There are some community-wide opportunities for socializing, whether with your significant other or neighbor friends. Like most other developments, 15 Madison Square North has a health club. This gym, designed with the help of CLAY Fitness & Spa, is 2,200 square-feet of space equipped to help you get in shape. And after all of the hard work, a full-roof deck makes a good place to relax and catch a social life. A children’s playroom makes a good rainy-day spot for the kids. Of course, on a nice day, residents can enjoy one of the biggest front yards in the city. Madison Square Park allows plenty of recreational activities, from the rousing game of Frisbee to a tanning session on the grass.

15 Madison Square North will attract a lot of families, although the development doesn’t specifically cater to such folk. It is located in the Chelsea/Flatiron district, close enough to artistic venues to attract residents who live in the prison of the creative mind, yet also close enough for them to delve into normalcy at area eateries and shopping centers.

As of March 2008, twelve of the original eighty units are available for sale. The one, two, three, and four-bedroom lofts average $2000/square foot, with park-facing units obviously demanding higher prices. Numerically, one bedroom, two-bath units with just over 1,100 square feet start at $1.85 million, and the 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath unit is $9.5 million for 3,626 square feet. Some units have a home office and/or terrace to add to the appeal. 15 Madison Square North is located at 15 E. 26th Street in Chelsea.

The neighborhood of 127 Madison Park is typical New York City, with plenty of things to do, although this area of town, newly dubbed “Madison Square Park North,” is light on residential developments, with this development one of only five in a five-block radius. But just down the road are the New York City library and the Empire State Building, so the area is far from boring.

Building onto the existing seven-story frame, SHoP Architects expanded on the natural beauty of this brick building, adding depth and 21st century amenities–and five more floors, which are set back fifteen feet from the road for added privacy.

The residences of 127 Madison Park emphasize the positives of the world–a bright, cheery kitchen, wide open living spaces, and the tranquil addition of a “thinking spot,” a two-foot ledge-like enclosure positioned at the front of every apartment, a spot right over top of New York’s hustle and bustle. Hardwood floors help minimize allergies and dust, while contributing to an overall pristine feel to the place. The kitchen continues this theme, with white-on-white lacquer and stainless steel/aluminum decor. So that residents don’t feel too much like they live in a sterile ward, a few touches here and there serve to increase the ‘cozy’ feel, including white Cararra marble in the kitchen and a soaking tub in the master bath to soothe away the troubles of the day.

Security is taken seriously here, both physical and emotional. Residents enjoy key-access elevators and a door to the building that is electronically controlled. A video monitor system keeps an eye out for things out of the ordinary. Emotional peace of mind is offered with brand name appliances like the sturdy Subzero refrigerator, the Miele cook top and coffee system, and Bosch washer and dryer. Insulated windows keep noise pollution to a minimum and privacy to the max.

Nine of the thirteen lofts are currently on the market, with two duplex penthouses to top the offerings off. The two bedroom, two-bath units average 1560 square feet in living space, and the duplexes have 2.255 square feet. The two penthouse units in this building have a few extra amenities; of course size being one of them. Other additions are a roof terrace or deck and angled skylights in the kitchen. Sales started March 2007; prices for the smaller units range from $1.6-$1.85 million.
