441 MacDonough Street

Bright and airy with high ceilings and adorned with period detail, 441 MacDonough Street is an ethereal beauty in prime Stuyvesant East. With upgrades including new HVAC, many electrical and plumbing improvements, and double-pane windows — you can move right in or be well on the road to your ideal renovation. Designed in 1892 by Henry B. Hill in the transitional Neo-Grec/Queen Anne style, this three-story, two-family brownstone retains its original facade, front door, and ironwork, maintaining the historic integrity of the late nineteenth century in this enclave of distinctive Victorian homes. Inside, the original encaustic tile and vestibule door are intact, but the real star of the foyer is the rare cherub newel post gas lamp. There are so few of these left in Bed-Stuy, it’s a pleasure to see this one has remained to greet your return home. Three slate mantles, original wood and plaster moldings, built-in cabinetry, pocket doors, shutters, and waist-high wainscoting are featured in the lower duplex. A charming country kitchen leads out to an enchanted garden complete with a Magnolia tree, flowering perennials, a majestic evergreen tree, a romantic pergola, and meandering paths. The top floor rental unit features two more slate mantles (for a total of five) and original moldings. It is contemporary and bright and ready to rent. 441 MacDonough Street is situated on a tranquil block with mature flowering trees near all the best establishments that Bedford Stuyvesant has to offer such as Saraghina, Peaches, Bar LunAtico, Rita & Maria, Milk & Pull, Chez Oskar, Nana Ramen, Laziza, Halsey Traders, The Macon Library, Trad Room — along with all the other great eateries and amenities on Malcolm X Blvd and Lewis Ave., and is a stone’s throw to the express A train.
