Madison offering rare bargain in city's high-priced market.Have buyers uncovered a rare "bargain" in Manhattan's high priced luxury condominium market?

"These residences have the look, size and feel of two-bedroom homes; they function like two-bedroom homes; but they're priced much lower," notes Dana Pecorella, president of the real estate firm bearing her name. "Best of all, the resale value of these units, as well as all of the residences at this building, are phenomenal because of the property's extraordinary Fifth Avenue location across from the park as well as its landmark features and amenities."
