691 MacDonough Street

691 MacDonough was originally constructed in 1910. This newly renovated home is the perfect combination of high-end finishes, modern technology, and impeccable details, an honorable salute to its past. This townhouse is a single-family home that features 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, a large parlor deck, and an expansive backyard garden. From wide plank white oak floors to the chef's kitchen and tasteful bathrooms, attention to detail can be found throughout this well-appointed home. As you enter you are greeted by a welcoming foyer. Stepping into the parlor level, you realize the breadth of space as the 10.5-foot ceilings let the light radiate throughout the open floor plan. To the right, a formal living room area that offers a great space for entertaining. To the left, is a large dining area and a thoughtfully designed powder room. In the back, your kitchen features a four-seat island, custom cabinetry, and quartz countertops. With a farmhouse sink and a full complement of Thermador appliances including a 36" refrigerator, six-burner stove, microwave drawer, and dishwasher, this kitchen is a chef’s dream. Upstairs you find three bedrooms and two full baths. The elegant primary bedroom faces the serene backyard gardens and features three windows and two large closets. The primary bath is adorned with marble tiled floors, a tasteful double vanity, a glass-enclosed rain shower, and a skylight for an abundance of added natural light. As you head down the hall toward the two front bedrooms, you pass a vented washer/dryer closet, and a marble-tiled second bathroom. From the built-in sound system to restored original touches, this home offers a perfect blend of new technology and original charm. Downstairs on the garden level, there is a front bedroom and full bathroom, and towards the back is an open den space or media center that features a double wide sliding glass door leading directly out to the backyard. Additionally, there is a wet bar which is finished with a sink and Summit wine fridge - the perfect set up for entertainment. The private basement can be accessed through an interior staircase (or an exterior staircase from the backyard) and is finished with textured tile floors and a powder room. It can easily be transformed into a playroom, home office, or artist studio. This masterfully re-imagined townhouse is located in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant. You are moments away from great dining establishments such as September, L'Antagoniste, Chez Oscar, Turtles and Sonora as well as Saratoga Park with its newly finished playgrounds. As well as nearby tennis courts on Malcolm X. Nearby public transportation includes the J/M trains or the C train and the Halsey B26, and JFK is a short 20-minute drive.
