This exceptional property offers five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms across two distinct units — an expansive upper duplex with a finished basement and a self-contained garden-level rental.

Upon entering the owner’s duplex, you are welcomed by a sun-drenched open-concept living and dining area that flows naturally into your kitchen outfitted with a six-burner Bosch gas range, Bosch double-door refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, Sharp microwave, and a dedicated wine fridge. Three generous bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and two thoughtfully placed half baths complete the upper floors. The finished basement below offers expansive, flexible space — ideal for a home gym, media room, or a creative retreat tailored to your lifestyle.

The garden-level unit is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with its own private entrance and a complete appliance package ready for immediate occupancy and rental income from day one.

Positioned on Madison Street with Bushwick Playground at the end of the block, the outdoor life here is effortless. Irving Square Park and Heckscher Playground are both close by, offering verdant retreats for morning runs, afternoon strolls, or leisurely weekends. When it’s time to eat, the neighborhood more than delivers — grab a perfectly made espresso and a morning pastry at L’Imprimerie Bakery, settle in for drinks at the beloved Father Knows Best, or wind down over a relaxed dinner at the perennial neighborhood favorite, Money Cat. The L train is nearby, placing the rest of the city comfortably within reach.

1259 Madison Street is a home that is ready to be lived in, loved, and appreciated for years to come.
