Originally built at the turn of the century, this elegant townhouse sits on a picturesque, tree-lined block in one of Brooklyn’s most vibrant and historic neighborhoods. Spanning three stories plus a finished cellar, the home offers a thoughtful balance of preserved architectural detail and modern comfort, creating a warm and inviting space for today’s lifestyle. The parlor level welcomes you through original double doors into a gracious living room adorned with soaring ceilings, original crown moldings, wooden window shutters, and a decorative fireplace that reflects the home’s timeless charm. Flowing seamlessly from the living space, the formal dining area is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

The primary bedroom overlooks the garden and is filled with natural light, complete with ample closet space and an en-suite bathroom. Additional bedrooms provide room for family, guests, or a home office, and are complemented by a full bathroom with a stylish, contemporary design. The garden level serves as an inviting extension of the home, featuring one bedroom, a wet bar, a comfortable living area, and direct access to the backyard. This level is ideal for casual entertaining, a media room, or a private guest suite. The finished cellar adds valuable versatility, easily functioning as a recreation room, home gym, or office. With tall ceilings, a powder room, and ample storage, it enhances both the comfort and functionality of the home. Located on MacDonough Street, the home is surrounded by exciting Bedford-Stuyvesant cafés and restaurants, such as BadaBoom, Trad Room, Laziza and Chicetti BK.

Broker Commission Disclosure: Broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.
How working with a buyer's agent works: I work for you, not the seller. Before I show you anything, New York brokerage rules ask us to put that in writing: an agreement and a disclosure that say I work for you and negotiate on your behalf. The agreement is non-exclusive: you can work with other agents, it runs for a short fixed term we agree on, and you can end it with a note. You may attend open houses independently without an agreement. Read how it works
