Property Description for 198 Madison Street

Originally built in 1910, 198 Madison is a newly renovated home that beautifully blends high-end finishes, modern technology, and meticulous craftsmanship—a respectful homage to its historic brownstone roots. This elegant four-story residence features six bedrooms, four full bathrooms, two powder rooms, a spacious parlor deck, and a generous backyard garden. With wide-plank herringbone oak floors and a thoughtful layout, the home reflects quality and attention to detail throughout. The grand entry begins with an oversized half-glass original door leading into a striking foyer. The parlor floor is bright and airy, with 10-foot ceilings that enhance the expansive living and dining areas. Custom-built-ins and intricate molding add warmth and character, while the kitchen impresses with a large island, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, and a full suite of Thermador appliances—including a microwave drawer. Full-glass double doors at the rear open to the deck, offering peaceful views of the lush garden. On the upper levels, five bedrooms and four full bathrooms provide space and flexibility. The primary suite overlooks the backyard and features three windows, a cozy reading nook, and a walk-through closet. The en-suite bath is a private retreat with marble tile flooring, a double vanity, a glass-enclosed rain shower, and a deep soaking tub. An adjacent bedroom works perfectly as a nursery or office, while three additional bedrooms on the third floor benefit from skylights and are accompanied by two more bathrooms. The finished basement, accessible via an interior staircase, includes tile flooring and a half bath—ideal for a media room, play space, or studio. A garden-level two-bedroom, one-bathroom suite with a kitchenette offers versatile options for guests, an au pair, or incoming producing space. Located on a beautiful, tree-lined street at the border of Bedford-Stuyvesant and Clinton Hill, this thoughtfully reimagined townhouse is moments from local favorites like Pilar, StoneFruit, Hart’s, Golda, and Do or Dive. Outdoor lovers will enjoy Von King Park nearby, and commuting is convenient with the A/C and G trains, the Halsey B26 bus, and JFK Airport all within easy reach.

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.
