Enjoy absolute serenity in this beautifully expanded and updated five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home in Brooklyn's peaceful Madison neighborhood.

Spanning a spacious ~3,200 square feet, this gorgeous two-story home with finished basement offers a fantastic backdrop for quiet relaxation and gracious entertaining, both indoors and out. Arrive via a traditional center hall entrance to find a sunny living room wrapped in windows on three exposures and anchored by a stately fireplace. To the left of the entry, the formal dining room welcomes luxurious dinner parties with a bright bay window, crystal chandelier, handsome tile floors and convenient built-ins. The adjacent windowed kitchen puts ample cabinetry and top-notch stainless steel appliances as well as double sinks within easy reach, while the rear of this level features a cozy carpeted den equipped with a built-in projection system and cabinetry. Step out to the simply stunning rear deck and yard to discover an amazing entertainer's haven complete with a wood-burning fireplace, brick pizza oven, two Sub-Zero grills, granite counter tops and a sink.

Bedrooms in this home are tucked upstairs for optimal tranquility. The master suite is an oasis featuring another beautiful bay window, an en suite bathroom and four closets, including an enviable oversized walk-in. Three more large bedrooms (2 of which have 11ft ceiling) boast roomy closets, big windows and easy access to two full bathrooms in the hallway.

Surrounded by abundant custom closets, the oversized finished basement is a wide-open space ideal as a home gym, playroom or whatever needs require. Expanded from its original ~45-foot depth to ~70 feet, and currently configured as a four-bedroom, this home's extra-large floor plan could easily accommodate another bedroom in the master walk-in (originally a fifth bedroom with windows intact) or in the first-floor den.

This home caters to total comfort and ease with Central air, a huge laundry room on the bedroom level, a backup generator and an integrated Sonos sound system that runs through the living room, den, backyard and master bedroom. A lovely landscaped front yard with a large wraparound patio creates fantastic curb appeal while the extra-long driveway and one-car detached garage provide parking for four vehicles.

Located on a prime tree-lined street in the Madison neighborhood, this home enjoys fantastic access to Brooklyn beaches and 530-acre Marine Park. Close to all shopping and transportation including the B & Q train, the B49 and the BM3 express bus to Manhattan.
