Bed Stuy

Beautifully Renovated Bed Stuy Brownstone With Full-Floor Master Suite Asks $2.75 Million

When we last featured this Second Empire Bed Stuy brownstone as a House of the Day, back in 2006, it was a low-priced rehab candidate with good bones. A lot has changed since then. The house, at 17 Madison Street, near the Clinton Hill border, is now a serious looker, beautifully renovated.

Twenty feet wide and four stories high, the house has been overhauled from top to bottom in a style that gracefully combines modern updates with original details, which include wainscoting, moldings and seven marble mantels.

The house offers an owner’s triplex over a one-bedroom garden rental. The triplex has two large bedrooms on the second floor and a full-floor master suite above.

The latter’s got a large walk-in California closet and a distinctive bathroom with Brazilian walnut floors and a marble mantel, which sets a freestanding tub by the rear windows and incorporates a rainfall shower in a curved inlet.

The parlor floor is a beaut, with herringbone floors in red oak, a Neo-Grec marble fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows in front, and a dining room in back that matches exposed brick with built-in shelving and cabinets repurposed from the house’s original wood beams.

Upgrades include a new boiler and hot-water heater, a new roof, a new copper water main and zoned air conditioning.

Listed by Terry Naini of Town Residential, the house is asking $2.75 million — which is a darn sight more than it was asking back in 2006 but, as noted, much has changed since then. Does the ask seem on target? What do you think of the place?
