About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to 497 Madison Street, a beautifully reimagined townhouse that honors its 1931 origins while offering the luxury and convenience of modern living. This elegant four-story, two-family Brownstone offers a perfect blend of historic charm and contemporary design. With 7 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, a private deck, a generous garden, and a fully finished cellar, this home provides ample space for both comfort and versatility. The upper triplex features 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, introduced by a gracious double-door foyer leading to a wide staircase. The main level hosts a stylish living room with a decorative fireplace, flowing seamlessly into the dining area and an open kitchen, complete with an island, custom cabinetry, and premium stainless steel appliances. A powder room is thoughtfully tucked away near the kitchen, which opens to a deck overlooking the serene backyard—a perfect spot for outdoor gatherings. The upper floors offer a private retreat with spacious bedrooms and beautifully appointed bathrooms. The primary suite overlooks the tranquil garden and features a walk-in closet and a luxurious en-suite bath with a double vanity, a glass-enclosed shower, and a soaking tub. The 4 additional bedrooms provide flexibility for various needs, whether it’s a home office, a nursery, home gym or a guest bedroom. The finished cellar offers endless possibilities—whether you envision a media room, a workspace, or an extension of the garden-level unit. The garden-level unit includes 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, and comes equipped with an in-unit washer/dryer. This garden apartment serves as an ideal rental opportunity or private space for guests. Situated on a picturesque, tree-lined street, this townhouse is just steps away from local favorites like Chez Oskar, Saraghina, and Peaches, and offers easy access to multiple parks and public transit. With the A/C and J trains nearby, getting around Brooklyn and Manhattan are a breeze. 497 Madison Street combines the best of city living with the charm of this historic neighborhood.
