Property details
About 125 Macdonough St
Located in the heart of the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District, this grand four-story, 21-foot-wide brownstone offers the rare combination of historic character, scale, and development potential. Spanning approximately 4,000 square feet and set on an exceptionally deep 120-foot lot, this two-family home presents an extraordinary opportunity to create a truly breathtaking residence on one of Brooklyn’s most picturesque brownstone blocks. Delivered vacant at closing, this property is ideal for a variety of configurations: transform it into a stunning owner’s triplex with an income-producing garden apartment, a luxurious double duplex, or a spacious single-family masterpiece. The oversized lot also provides a massive backyard—perfect for creating an expansive garden, outdoor entertaining space, or future extension (subject to approvals). Inside, the home is rich with original period details that reflect its 19th-century heritage: seven original fireplace mantels (including marble and wood), pocket doors, 12-foot parlor floor ceilings, original hardwood floors, interior window shutters, and detailed crown, door, and window moldings throughout. These preserved elements offer the perfect foundation for a renovation that blends timeless elegance with modern luxury. Set on a tree-lined block in one of Brooklyn’s most architecturally significant neighborhoods, this is a rare opportunity to own and customize a true brownstone gem. Close to local shops, restaurants, cafes, parks, and transportation.
