480 A Mac Donough Street, New York City, NY 11233

Bright and airy with high ceilings and adorned with period detail, 480A MacDonough Street is a brownstone beauty with original detail intact and key upgrades such as new electrical, boiler, AC, roof and modern kitchens and baths. This three-story, three-family townhome is currently set up at a two-family with a lower duplex and top-floor rental, and is located a stone’s throw to the express A train Utica stop.

Built in 1892 by Henry B. Hill in the Romanesque/Renaissance Revival style, this elegant home retains original exterior ironwork and exterior detailing. The charming parlor floor features two exceptional mantles with over-mantles, pocket doors, stained glass, crown molding, shutters, original ceiling medallions, decorative wood trim, and stairway.

A third decorative mantle (five in all!) graces the garden level along with waist-high wainscoting and new tin ceilings with recessed lighting throughout. The main kitchen is located in the rear of the garden floor and was recently remodeled with classic subway tile, granite counters and an eating island. Off the kitchen is a modern full bath and a laundry room with a walk-out to the garden. The low-maintenance backyard with a built-in planter and decking is perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying a summer bbq with loved ones under the pergola.

The top floor retains two original mantles, shutters, trim and crown moldings and has been upgraded with two mini split AC units and a recently renovated kitchen and full bath. There are two AC condensers on the roof with the ability to run ten units total.
