This renovated home at 761 Macon Street offers a big dose of iconic Brooklyn charm that extends beyond its pretty face. Asking $2,250,000, this three-story townhouse on a brownstone block in Bed-Stuy may not be the biggest townhouse in Brooklyn, but creative design elements and unfussy, welcoming spaces make it feel like home.
The classic 1899 home offers a garden apartment and an owner’s duplex, for a total of four bedrooms. Architectural details, like vaulted tin ceilings, exposed brick, a central staircase, and original parquet floors, accent thoroughly modern upgrades like Marvin windows and zoned A/C.
The owner’s duplex begins with a parlor that extends into a designer’s dream of an airy kitchen. A large dining space is adjacent to the kitchen, so the chef has plenty of company. In back, a deck leads to a landscaped garden, complete with a shaded pergola and a shed for easy maintenance.
The easy life extends upstairs to the primary bedroom suite. A large closet joins a four-piece bathroom with garden views. Additional bedrooms are equally charming and can accommodate a range of uses. There is a washer/dryer on this floor as well.
On the garden floor, stairs from the parlor floor lead to a private study. Behind this room is a self-contained, full one-bedroom flat, for rental income or family/guest quarters.
