Property Description for 408 Macon Street
An idyllic expression of townhouse living, this light-filled Neo-Grec brownstone has been carefully adapted to modern sensibilities while retaining its original grandeur. Built c. 1880 by prolific Stuyvesant Heights builder Charles Isbill, this 2-family house is configured as a single-family, spanning 4 stories and approximately 3,400 SQFT on a 20x100 foot lot. Atop its grand stoop with original newel post and railings, find a double parlor with two original wood and tile mantels, 11 ft ceilings, and a pier mirror augmented by a full bath. The renovated kitchen on the garden level features a Bertazzoni range, Fisher and Paykel refrigerator and Silestone quartz countertops. Off the kitchen, find a deck with a lushly planted, landscaped garden steeped in natural light. A below-stoop entrance, library, and full bath complete the garden level. The second floor provides two bedrooms featuring original marble mantels and a full ensuite bath wrought in Calcutta marble. An additional third floor of open studio-loft space with a full bath and ample storage tops this thoughtfully renovated home. 408 Macon Street is move-in ready, with updated mechanicals throughout, a new cast iron gas boiler, and new chimneys. The immaculate cellar is completed by a laundry room and powder room. Located in the beautiful Stuyvesant Heights historic district and off Lewis Avenue, neighborhood amenities abound. Peaches, Saraghina, LunAtico, Mama Fox, Skal and more are at your doorstep. The A and C trains are just blocks away at Utica Avenue, providing express service to Manhattan.

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.
