782 Madison Street #1A

Welcome to 782 Madison Street, Unit 1A — a rare combination of affordability, space and charm. This 3-bedroom, DUPLEX CONDO was renovated from top to bottom in 2011 and stylishly updated in 2023. The garden level features a remodeled kitchen with modern black shaker-style cabinetry offset by clean, white quartz countertops, classic subway tile, new hardware, stainless appliances including a gas range vented to the outside, and a great walk-in pantry / storage space. The overall effect is both cool and inviting. The kitchen opens up to a dedicated dining space large enough to seat 6-8 comfortably. In the front of the garden level is a sizable bedroom with a lovely arched bay window overlooking P.O. Renaldo Segrado Playground — offering wide views with no buildings across the street. In the rear of the apartment is the sunny, south-facing bedroom / livingroom overlooking possibly the largest backyard in Bedford Stuyvesant! The giant, shared backyard is underutilized, often leaving you with your own massive outdoor space — great for four-legged or two-legged creatures to run around — and great for entertaining. A classically-tiled full bath completes the garden level. Upstairs includes one more bedroom, a central living space and a half bath. There are five closets in the apartment PLUS a deeded storage cage just one flight downstairs where you'll also conveniently find the laundry room. Hot-water baseboard heat is efficient and has separate controls for each floor. Get ready for summer because 782 Madison St, is located across the street from P.O. Renaldo Segrado Playground, minutes to Saratoga Park, and the recently renovated Jesse Owens Playground featuring a built-in pool. If the backyard is not large enough for your green thumb, you'll find Citizens for a Better Community Garden just a block away. In addition to the many green spaces, 782 Madison St. is located in the heart of Stuyvesant East with nearby hot-spots such as Passionfruit Coffee, Early Yves Cafe, Toad Style, Chez Alex, Marian's Brooklyn, L'Antagoniste, Greedi Kitchen, Grandchamps, among many other Bed Stuy and Bushwick eateries and shopping. The J/Z/A/C trains are a 5-10 minute walk. J-51 tax abatement through mid 2030. Maintenance is $813pm (includes utilities except cooking gas and electricity) plus a temporary assessment of $376 in effect through May 2025.
