Welcome to 810 Marcy Avenue, a rare Federal-style brick townhouse in the heart of Bed-Stuy that offers an unparalleled blend of historic charm and modern luxury. This stunning home is configured as an owner's triplex spanning the parlor, garden, and basement levels, with two high-income-producing rentals above. The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout this home is extraordinary, featuring 5-inch aged, hand-scraped oak floors, central split-system AC, two-way video intercom, Michael Anastassiades chandeliers, and Flos light fixtures controlled by Lutron systems. Original details, such as exposed brick, original marble mantles, and a grand entry foyer with original stairs and an 1890s pier mirror, have been thoughtfully preserved, while the exterior showcases new brownstone, custom ironwork, and a striking 4,000-pound wrought iron door.
The owner's triplex begins on the parlor level, where the true chef's kitchen awaits with nearly 40 feet of linear cabinet and counter space, high-end appliances, a Corian backsplash, a Kohler farm sink, and recently upgraded Corian countertops and a waterfall island. The kitchen leads to a majestic hand-built deck with steps descending to one of the most private and breathtaking backyards you'll find in Brooklyn. This slate-covered sanctuary, framed by ivy-covered walls and shaded by a century-old birch tree, also features an automated watering system throughout all flower beds and boxes, newly extended flower boxes along the fence, added artificial grass, ambient fence lighting, and a garden shed.
The parlor level continues into the living room, which is nothing short of magnificent, complete with an original restored wood-burning fireplace. The master suite, located on the garden level, is a serene retreat that overlooks the garden and boasts its own wood-burning fireplace, walk-in closets, and a completely redesigned en-suite bathroom with radiant-heated Waterworks marble floors, a freestanding tub, a Toto toilet, and a custom dual vanity. Two additional bedrooms are located on this level of the home, along with a newly renovated bathroom featuring new stone-effect flooring. The climate-controlled finished cellar, featuring stunning fieldstone walls, offers a versatile space perfect for a recreation room or gym.
The upper two rental units are both luxury two-bedroom apartments with designer kitchens and recently renovated bathrooms. These units currently generate $6,000 per month, equivalent to a $1 million mortgage payment, making this home not only a beautiful residence but also a smart investment.
Recent upgrades include refinished wood floors throughout, elegant Flos lighting fixtures in the kitchen and living areas, new Farrow & Ball paint, window shades, a new Fujitsu wall-mounted AC system in the owner's triplex, and three new water heaters installed in 2023. The exterior has also been meticulously maintained, with the brownstone recently refinished and the roof resurfaced.
Situated in prime Bed-Stuy, 810 Marcy Avenue is minutes away from the best shopping, dining, and amenities the neighborhood has to offer, including the A and C trains, the LIRR, and the esteemed Waldorf School. This is a truly rare and special property where old-world charm meets modern convenience-an opportunity not to be missed.

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.

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.
