Welcome to 138 Madison Street, a beautifully renovated three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath townhouse nestled on a picturesque tree-lined block at the crossroads of Bedford-Stuyvesant and Clinton Hill. Thoughtfully gut renovated in 2017, this approximately 2,670-square-foot home blends classic Brooklyn brownstone character with warm contemporary finishes, smart-home functionality, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living.
Configured as a two-family with a finished cellar level, the home unfolds across five thoughtfully designed floors. The parlor level features expansive open-concept living and dining spaces with soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and abundant natural light throughout. A beautifully designed eat-in kitchen anchors the rear of the home, complete with Thermador appliances, extensive custom cabinetry, generous storage, and direct access to a private deck overlooking the lush south-facing garden.
The landscaped backyard offers a rare Brooklyn retreat with multiple areas for dining, entertaining, gardening, or quiet relaxation. Connected to the main apartment, the finished basement recreation level provides exceptional flexibility for a media room, fitness space, playroom, studio, or work-from-home setup, along with additional storage throughout.
The upper floors house three generously proportioned bedrooms, including a full-floor primary suite offering exceptional scale, oversized windows, a dressing area, vanity nook, walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring a soaking tub, multi-head shower, bidet, and double vanity. An additional office nook on the upper landing creates the perfect dedicated workspace tucked away from the main living areas.
The garden level features a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment, finishes in the same guise as the rest of the home with dishwasher, air conditioning, and fully outfitted kitchen. This space functions as an incoming producing property, in-law suite, or private at-home office.
Additional upgrades include central multi-zone HVAC, Sonos audio throughout, smart home integration, full-sized LG washer and dryer, separate boilers, pre-wired internet and media systems, Ring video intercom, and integrated security features designed for modern convenience.
Ideally positioned near Herbert Von King Park, the YMCA, and neighborhood favorites including Ursula, Harts, Fan Fan Doughnuts, For All Things Good, Golda, and Clementine Bakery, 138 Madison Street offers convenient access to the A/C, G, and Shuttle trains, along with the B26 bus line for easy connectivity throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan.
