Description

Charm, space, light and location define 473 MacDonough Street. This unique two-family, three-story home stands apart with its original architectural detail intact and a three-story, partial-width addition adding an extra room to each floor. Built in 1892 by Architect Henry B. Hill in the Romanesque Revival / Renaissance Revival style using Brownstone with a galvanized iron cornice. Four mantles — one with an alabaster surround, an especially lovely pier mirror with vintage patina, multiple stained glass windows and skylights, original hardwood floors, shutters, pocket doors, moldings, and built-ins grace 473 MacDonough Street. Each floor offers a new pleasant surprise! Currently configured as a lower duplex with an upper floor-through apartment, there have been notable upgrades to enhance the original beauty. Significant electric and plumbing upgrades, wood double-pained, easy-tilt windows throughout, renovated kitchens, bath with radiant floor heat, redone roof, and a new water heater offer a giant leap towards your ideal Brooklyn Brownstone living. 437 MacDonough Street is located in Stuyvesant Heights East near all the best establishments that Bedford Stuyvesant has to offer such as Saraghina, Peaches, Bar LunAtico, Rita & Maria, Milk & Pull, Chez Oskar, Nana Ramen, Laziza, Halsey Traders, Early Ives, May Wines, The Macon Library, Trad Room — along with all the other great eateries and amenities on Malcolm X Blvd and Lewis Ave., and steps from the Utica Express A/C trains station at MXB / Stuyvesant Ave. Read more about the history and culture of this desirable block of MacDonough Street in the 2015 New York Magazine article entitled, "This is the Story of One Block in Bed Stuy Brooklyn". https://nymag.com/oneblock/ ...
