This unique two-family, three-story home stands apart with its original architectural detail intact and a three-story, partial-width addition adding an extra room to each floor. Built in 1892 by Architect Henry B. Hill in the Romanesque Revival / Renaissance Revival style using Brownstone with a galvanized iron cornice.

Four mantles — one with an alabaster surround, an especially lovely pier mirror with vintage patina, multiple stained glass windows and skylights, original hardwood floors, shutters, pocket doors, moldings, and built-ins grace 473 MacDonough Street. Each floor offers a new pleasant surprise!

Currently configured as a lower duplex with an upper floor-through apartment, there have been notable upgrades to enhance the original beauty. Significant electric and plumbing upgrades, wood double-pained, easy-tilt windows throughout, renovated kitchens, bath with radiant floor heat, redone roof, and a new water heater offer a giant leap towards your ideal Brooklyn Brownstone living.
