Property Description for 678 MacDonough Street

Situated in Ocean Hill bordering Bushwick, this three story, two family townhouse is built 20 FT wide by 55 FT in depth with over 1,000 SF of living space per floor. The property is currently configured as a two bedroom rental on the top floor over a three bedroom duplex with backyard access.


The garden floor of the duplex is reserved for entertaining with an oversized living room, a separate, formal dining room and a modern kitchen with pantry. This floor also includes access to a powder room as well as the building mechanicals and the southern facing, paved backyard.


The upper floor of the duplex would benefit from an alternative layout in order to maximize functionality and create a better use of space. It is currently arranged as three bedrooms plus an additional non-windowed room which could function as an office, guest room or as you see fit. This floor also accesses a full bathroom.


The top floor and second unit of the building is presently occupied by a tenant and maintains two bedrooms, an open living/kitchen concept, a full bathroom and two additional rooms which would work well as any of the following: guest room, formal dining room or office.


Hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and historic details such as decorative fireplaces, crown moldings, tin ceilings and woodwork around windows and doors provide the charming aesthetic to this Brooklyn townhouse.


The surrounding neighborhood of Ocean Hill and nearby Bushwick provide a well rounded backdrop of amenities, including Saratoga Park, convenient access to both the J and C trains with the express A train a mere stop away, numerous restaurants, cafes, bars and grocery stores. The friendly surroundings invite you to explore even more.

Bedford Stuyvesant | Brooklyn

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.
