Madonna's House

Pop star who left college for New York in 1978 and broke through with her 1983 debut album and “Like a Virgin” a year later. She is the best-selling female music artist of all time.

The city’s land-use database dates the building to 1901 and records a major alteration in 2010.

Madonna bought the Upper East Side houses in June 2009 from the estate of their longtime owner, in 2 deeds signed the same day. Deed records show that family on the title by 1966.

Within 2 months of closing she filed to merge what the city counted as 2 separate houses into a single home, and to add a floor on top. Permits were fully issued in March 2010.

The renovation gave her an indoor dance studio and a rooftop terrace, according to a 2013 Commercial Observer report.

In March 2016 neighbors complained about raised “No Parking” lettering on the curb at her driveway. The city Transportation Department ordered the concrete restored, and Madonna mocked the order on Instagram.

In June 2025 Hello magazine reported she was spending most of her time here, after she posted photos of a bathtub draped with clothes and shoes.
