Property Description for 121 MacDonough Street

Stately four story brownstone in prime Stuyvesant Heights! This home, boasting an impressive 21 feet width and 57 feet depth, is situated on an oversized lot measuring 21X120, with a front, as well as a back, garden. It is notable that 121 MacDonough Street is one of nine uniformly designed brownstones that constitute one of the two earliest masonry rows in the Historic Land-marked area. Built in the Italianate style for Curtis L. North, a New York Life Insurance agent, in 1872. Graciously adorned with many original details including: 6 stunning marble fireplaces, wedding cake moldings, ceiling medallions, floor to ceiling windows, soaring ceilings, lattice bordered hardwood floors, original pocket doors, parlor doors, beautifully carved posts, handrails and balusters adorning the entire staircase, carry you throughout the four levels. Even the fence embellishing the front garden is gorgeous with its intricate period motif. This thoughtfully preserved townhouse offers a flexible layout. Its 4,018 square feet of interior provide endless possibilities, including the potential for additional rental income. Homes in this particular pocket of the historic section of Bedford Stuyvesant do not become available often, so this is a unique opportunity to own an especially impressive home. This beautiful tree-lined neighborhood has a wonderful cultural history and features amenities such as: Peaches, Seraghinas, Angelas and Beso. The Kingston/Throop Ave station off of the C subway line is an easy commute to Manhattan and this location is a true dream! First open house Sunday April 23rd, 1-3pm. Will not last!

Quick Profile

Known for its historic brownstones and tight-knit enclave, Bed-Stuy has increasingly left behind its early reputation for being a “bedroom community” and transcended into a highly desirable neighborhood. 

Distinct for its aesthetic, it is populated with ornate buildings characterized by cornices, friezes, finials, fluting and other marks of classic architecture. Built up during the period from 1870 to 1900, its historic district runs to the north of Jefferson Avenue, to the east of Malcolm X Boulevard and to the west of Tompkins Avenue. 

At one point known as “Brooklyn’s Little Harlem,” the shape of the area has shifted toward attracting a wider demographic of people thanks to the influx of bars, restaurants, antique furniture stores and vintage boutiques. More police enforcement paired with the decline of the crack epidemic at the beginning of the 2000s also opened the door for increased development, as well as the occupation of formerly abandoned buildings and spaces.
