Property Summary
Description
Introducing 426 Mac Donough Street, a grand early twentieth-century brownstone located on one of Stuyvesant Heights' most coveted tree-lined blocks, nestled between Stuyvesant Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard. This timeless two-family townhouse spans approximately 2,832 square feet and rests on a 20' x 100' lot with a 20' x 50' building footprint, offering an extraordinary opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Brooklyn history. Currently utilized as a two-family residence- Unit One comprising the parlor and garden levels, and Unit Two encompassing the entire top floor-the home provides wonderful flexibility for end-users, investors, or those seeking a spacious single-family conversion. Inside, the residence is rich with exquisite original details that showcase its nineteenth-century craftsmanship: hand-carved banisters, intricate woodwork, tall pocket doors, wainscoting, ornamental cornices, ceiling medallions, and four decorative fireplaces adorned with original mantels. The grand parlor boasts soaring ceilings and elegant "wedding-cake" plaster detailing, evoking the charm and grandeur of a bygone era. The garden level opens directly onto a lush backyard with a rose garden, a private oasis ideal for outdoor enjoyment, dining, or entertaining beneath a canopy of mature greenery. With its elegant proportions and authentic character, the home invites a discerning buyer to breathe new life into its historic framework-merging period beauty with contemporary comfort. While in need of TLC, the residence presents a rare opportunity to restore and customize a true architectural gem to one's personal vision. Situated on a quiet, landmarked block within the Bedford Historic District-home to some of Brooklyn's most well-preserved late-19th- and early-20th-century architecture-426 Mac Donough Street offers both heritage and potential. With approximately 1,160 sq ft of remaining FAR, the property allows for creative reconfiguration or expansion. Neighborhood favorites such as Saraghina Pizzeria, Bar LunÀtico, Peaches, Trad Room, and Grandchamps Kitchen & Market are just moments away, as are the A/C trains at Utica Avenue and J/Z lines at Gates Avenue. Whether envisioned as an income-producing asset, a thoughtfully restored showpiece, or a forever home infused with modern luxury, 426 Mac Donough Street is a rare opportunity to reclaim and reimagine a piece of Brooklyn's storied past.
