Pre-Approved Conversion Opportunity. An exceptional opportunity to convert the space to a two-bedroom apartment in one of the Upper East Sides most desirable locations, situated on the corner of Madison Avenue and 85th Street. Both the Co-op board and the New York City Department of Buildings have approved the conversion, offering a clear and viable path to residential use. The approved residential layout reconfigures the unit into a highly desirable two-bedroom home featuring a spacious living and dining area with an open kitchen, two bedrooms, one bathroom, a washer/dryer, an entry foyer, and ample storage throughout. This ground-floor space features very high ceilings, central air conditioning, direct access to the street, and east, west, and north exposures. Please refer to the floor plan in the listing for the suggested layout. The current owners have recently obtained approvals from the Co-op board and Dept of Buildings Pre-Determination approval. The conversion approval plans were completed by architect Marta Satwin-Ramberg of Satwin Architect, P.C., who can also assist the new owners in obtaining final permits. The pictures were virtually staged to provide visual inspiration for the completed apartment.
