Built in 1890, this townhouse at 639 Macon Street in Bed-Stuy has done a nice job of preserving some historic details while also completing a full designer renovation. Contemporary finishes and bright, open rooms now highlight both the three-bedroom owner’s residence that occupies the home’s top three floors, as well as the two-bedroom, income-generating rental on the garden level. For all this, the house is asking $2,695,000.
The owner’s residence begins on the parlor floor with the lovely living room pictured above. It’s anchored by the refurbished wood-burning place with its original mantle, as well as the gorgeous herringbone floors and moldings. Through restored oak pocket doors, the adjacent kitchen features Bertazzoni appliances, white stone countertops, a spacious island with a built-in wine fridge, and a large custom-built banquet with seating for 10.
Off the kitchen, there’s a convenient deck that leads down to the backyard. It’s been designed with bluestone pavers, an imported Japanese Maple Tree, an irrigation system, and an outdoor shower.
Upstairs, the master bedroom has a large walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom. The other bedroom on this floor also has an en-suite bathroom.
The third floor holds two more bedrooms, both with walk-in closets and one with an adjacent office. There are also a full bathroom and laundry room on this floor.
The garden apartment has also been completely modernized and has two bedrooms, a washer/dryer, and a private patio.
