223 MacDonough Street is part of a long row of fourteen houses built in the classic Italianate style.
For over 50 years, this building, along with 221 MacDonough Street, were the home of the Bedford Institute, a day school for boys and girls in the 1920's and 30's.

HPD records indicate that this premise is a 3 story structure with 2 Class "A" units and 3 roomers.
The building is classified as 2-family dwelling at the Department of Finance .

Nestled in the Landmark Stuyvesant Heights Historic District, 223 MacDonough Street is a grand townhouse (20 x 40 ft on a 100 ft lot) that was built in 1872 and comes with a rare 2-story extension (12 x 16 ft) that was added in 1918 creating over 4,100 sf of living space!

This property is currently set up as a 3-family with an upper duplex and 2 separate apartments on the parlor and garden floors.
The garden floor, parlor floor, and third floor feature a 12 × 16 ft extension, adding a spacious extra bedroom on each of these floors.

This residence retains some charming authentic details such as original plasterwork, pocket doors, crown moldings and 5 decorative fireplaces. While the property has been well maintained over the years including renovated kitchen and bathrooms in 2018, buyers may want to install new windows, a new roof and electrical upgrades to install central AC and to exercise this property's full luxurious potential.

The upper duplex is gorgeous, bright and spacious. The third floor is an open space with a kitchen, dining area, living room with an office space in the alcove and a full bathroom. There is also a large bedroom with 3 windows in the extension that is currently used as a painting studio and 2 more large bedrooms on the top floor with a smaller guest bedroom and another full bathroom.

The parlor floor is uniquely beautiful, featuring high ceilings (11 feet) and oversized south-facing windows overlooking this beautiful prime block. This apartment's layout is open in a loft-like style, with a spacious open kitchen and dining/living area, a large windowed bathroom, and an extra-spacious bedroom with 2 large windows overlooking the quiet garden.

The garden level apartment is in excellent condition. Here again, the kitchen opens to a dining room/living room with a large bedroom in one end of the apartment facing the street and another large bedroom in the extension of the building facing the lush, quiet and designed garden paved with bluestone.

With 3 kitchens and 4 full bathrooms, you could easily transform this property into an upper triplex + a garden rental apartment or 2 luxurious duplexes. Any combination is possible and easy to do.

This unique brownstone is located on a prime landmarked brownstone block close to the A and C trains at Utica as well as many of Bedford Stuyvesant's most reputable hot spots: Saraghina, Lunatico, Peaches, Chez Eugene and L'Antagoniste to name a few.
