Property Description for 170 Madison Street

Your Country House in the City!
Madison Street welcomes with an enchanting porch, gingerbread trim, pitched roof and peach tree in the back garden. Built in the mid 1800's and owned by the same family for over 75 years. This free-standing, Italianate, wood-frame house at 170 Madison Street is simply enchanting. Plus, it's a driver's dream with parking for 3+ cars. The first floor is all about ease and warmth as each space flows seamlessly to the next, enhanced by natural light from three exposures. Ideal for entertaining, the formal living room and dining room are beautifully proportioned with 10-foot ceilings, fireplaces and corner windows. Art lovers: there is loads of wall space for your art.

Natural light enhances the breakfast nook which leads into an eat-in kitchen-easily converts to a chef's kitchen. Step into the garden, right from the kitchen door, and create the outdoor space you've always imagined-all with easy access to your cars.The second floor offers two main bedrooms with 9' ceilings plus a smaller bedroom, a home office/nursery and full bathroom. The bathroom, all in pink, is an ode to 50's style-yours to honor or update.

The third-floor cottage-style attic has two bonus rooms, one could be a home office, the other, a playroom-or the perfect spot for your Peloton with tree-top views while you ride.

The Details: This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath, breakfast nook, 2 home offices and playroom sits on a 30' x 100' lot that accommodates a long driveway, leading to the backyard. The building is 22' wide with extensions on two floors. Light streams into the house all day through three exposures: north, south and west. Very low property taxes, $2204 per year.

The home is being sold as is.

170 Madison Street is a short stroll to great amenities: shops, restaurants, bars, several supermarkets & the YMCA. Subways: A, C, S and G. Drive out of your home to Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Park, Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and BAM.

Quick Profile

Known for its historic brownstones and tight-knit enclave, Bed-Stuy has increasingly left behind its early reputation for being a “bedroom community” and transcended into a highly desirable neighborhood. 

Distinct for its aesthetic, it is populated with ornate buildings characterized by cornices, friezes, finials, fluting and other marks of classic architecture. Built up during the period from 1870 to 1900, its historic district runs to the north of Jefferson Avenue, to the east of Malcolm X Boulevard and to the west of Tompkins Avenue. 

At one point known as “Brooklyn’s Little Harlem,” the shape of the area has shifted toward attracting a wider demographic of people thanks to the influx of bars, restaurants, antique furniture stores and vintage boutiques. More police enforcement paired with the decline of the crack epidemic at the beginning of the 2000s also opened the door for increased development, as well as the occupation of formerly abandoned buildings and spaces.
