Property Description for 116 MacDonough Street
Nestled among some of the most striking townhouses in all New York City lies 116 MacDonough Street, a 3,632 square foot Neo-Grec Brownstone lovingly cared for by the same family for more than 70 years. Located in the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District, 116 MacDonough is a legal two-family currently configured as three apartments, and it will be delivered vacant. It sits on a deep 20.2' x 100' lot and comprises three stories over a garden-level, a lower cellar and a lovely south facing rear garden.
A welcoming L-shaped stoop, impressive cathedral doors and grand interior staircase greet the visitor. Wonderfully-preserved 19th century details abound. These include 12-foot ceilings, stunning wainscoting and crown moldings, bay windows with shutters, six mahogany and oak fireplace mantels, alabaster light fixtures, handsome wood floors and a working gas light among many other original details. An architectural piece of history, this 1890's-built home converts easily to a splendid single-family residence or into an owner's duplex with rental units.
MacDonough Street is considered by many to be among the most beautiful tree lined residential streets in Brooklyn, and its surrounding blocks present equally beautiful rows of townhouses. Convenient to transportation options, it also offers multiple choices for dining and shopping.
