About This Property
734 Macon Street: Gilded Age Grandeur Meets Modern Brooklyn Living
Welcome to the Gilded Age brownstone of your dreams, where extraordinary original craftsmanship meets thoughtful modern living.
Meticulously restored and reimagined for today's lifestyle, this stunning legal three-family brownstone is a celebration of Brooklyn's architectural heritage. Rich with historic character, the home showcases exquisite original crown moldings, intricate millwork, beautifully preserved woodwork, decorative tin ceilings, and an abundance of timeless prewar details.
The move-in-ready owner's duplex offers the perfect balance of historic grandeur and modern comfort, complete with a private backyard oasis exclusively for the owner's enjoyment. A rare opportunity to experience the charm and elegance of brownstone living with the added benefit of two income-producing residences above.
House hacking has never looked so good. Live beautifully in your own historic brownstone while two established, quality tenants paying market rents upstairs help offset your monthly carrying costs. Each of the three residences features its own in-unit washer and dryer, bringing everyday convenience to this timeless property.
Whether you're an end user looking to make Brooklyn your home or a savvy investor seeking a distinctive income-producing property, 734 Macon Street offers the best of both worlds.
A piece of Brooklyn's Gilded Age history, reimagined for the way we live today.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
A private yard and a deck come with this Bedford-Stuyvesant brownstone, along with more than 60 square feet of private outdoor space. The listing reserves the backyard for the owner's duplex, and in the city a private yard is worth more than it looks like on a plan. You can step outside without sharing a path or entrance with anyone else.
Inside, the house has high ceilings, crown molding, hardwood floors, built-ins and a decorative fireplace. The listing also describes decorative tin ceilings and detailed millwork, which suit a house with this much original character. The private entrance means the owner's space starts at the front door.
Each of the three residences has its own washer and dryer. In New York, laundry inside the apartment is a daily convenience that many people underrate until they've lived with a shared room downstairs.
The Halsey Street station on the J is about 8 minutes on foot, and Ralph Avenue on the C and Gates Avenue on the J and Z are each about 10 minutes away. Saratoga Park is about 2 minutes away, and Green Harmony Market is about 5 minutes.
The listing describes the two other residences as income-producing. If that matters to your plans, it's worth going over the leases and the rent roll with your broker or an attorney before you decide.
