Brooklyn (Stuyvesant Heights), NY, 11233 | $2,350,000

Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a masterfully renovated townhouse where historic architecture meets contemporary luxury!

Originally built in 1910, 691 MacDonough Street is a turn-key, single-family home, offering all of the conveniences of suburban living in the heart of Bed-Stuy.

The modern black and white exterior commands attention from the street, which is fitting considering that you're on one of the best blocks in the neighborhood. Up the gated entry steps you're greeted by a grand front door and charming vestibule, providing both a convenient spot for hanging coats and bags, as well as the security of double entry. Once you enter the home, you'll immediately feel the sense of grandeur the parlor floor provides, with its soaring 10. 5-foot ceilings and oversized windows that flood the open layout with natural light.

A gracious living room sits at the front of the home, while a spacious dining area perfect for large dinner parties flows seamlessly into the beautifully appointed kitchen. Anchored by a large center island with ample storage and seating for four, the kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large farmhouse sink, and a full suite of Thermador appliances, including a 36-inch refrigerator, six-burner gas range, and dishwasher. Through the kitchen's floor to ceiling steel french doors sits a large deck overlooking the beautifully landscaped yard, allowing for indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. A stylish powder room is conveniently located just behind the kitchen on this level, tucked out of sight.

Up the stairs, you'll find the dedicated private sleeping quarters, featuring 3 of the home's 4 bedrooms. The tranquil primary suite overlooks the back garden and boasts three oversized windows, generous closet space, and a spa-inspired ensuite bath finished with large format porcelain tile flooring, a double vanity, glass-enclosed rain shower with 2 shower heads, and a magnificent skylight. Two secondary bedrooms at the front of the house each have large windows and high ceilings, and share a beautifully finished bathroom accessible from the hallway. A conveniently located laundry closet with stackable washer and dryer completes this level, a modern luxury on all accounts!

Back down on the garden level, a flexible layout offers exceptional versatility. A fourth bedroom and full bathroom at the front of the house are accompanied by an expansive den or media room toward the back, with oversized sliding glass doors opening directly to the backyard. A wet bar with a sink and Summit wine refrigerator makes this space equally suited for entertaining, guest accommodations, or multigenerational living. This level also offers a gated exterior area under the front steps, complete with an electronic lock system that allows for secure package delivery and convenient stroller storage.

The finished lower level offers even more functional space, with a queen-sized, built-in murphy bed, a powder room and both interior and private exterior access. Whether envisioned as a playroom, home gym, creative studio, or home office, it provides endless possibilities.

Additional features of this home include central air on the top two floors, a whole home sound system, security system with motion sensors, custom window treatments from The Shade Store, and high-end luxury light fixtures, most on newly installed dimmers. Wide-plank white oak flooring, custom millwork, built-out closet systems, and high-end finishes create a cohesive aesthetic throughout that adds to both the beauty and functionality of this one-of-a-kind home.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant, 691 MacDonough is moments from some of the neighborhood's most celebrated restaurants, including Michelin rated Mexican restaurant Olmo, French Rotisserie Badaboom, Cichetti wine bar, September coffee, and Bakery by Textbook, among many others. Outdoor recreation can be found just around the corner at nearby Saratoga Park and the Malcolm X tennis courts, while convenient access to the L, J, A and C subway lines, the B26 and B7 buses, and a roughly 20-minute drive to LGA and JFK Airport make commuting and travel remarkably convenient.
