Set among a row of beautifully preserved brownstones, 481 Madison Street is just moments from the cafés, boutiques, and parks that define Bed-Stuy’s vibrant lifestyle, with easy access to the A, C, and G trains.

A rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready Brooklyn brownstone that embodies both architectural heritage and modern luxury—every inch of this home tells a story of design, craftsmanship, and light.
