Property details
About 297 Macon St
A Rare Opportunity on a Historic Street. <br> <br> In the heart of Stuyvesant Heights, along tree-lined Macon Street between Throop and Marcus Garvey, lies 297 Macon Street-a stately Italianate row house brimming with potential. This south- and north-facing 4-story, 2-unit home boasts over 3,200 square feet of living space, plus an additional 800 square feet in the basement, offering nearly 4,000 square feet to reimagine and restore.<br> <br> For decades, this home has been lovingly passed down through generations, retaining an abundance of original details: marble fireplace mantels, intricate ceiling medallions, wainscoting, pocket doors, window shutters, and even vintage sink basins that harken back to a bygone era. The double front entry doors and sweeping staircase banisters tell a story of timeless craftsmanship, while the crumbling plaster and peeling paint present a blank canvas for your vision.<br> <br> Endless Possibilities.<br> Whether you're looking to restore this property to its original grandeur as a one-unit showpiece or create a modern owner's triplex with a garden rental for added income, the possibilities are vast. The 20x40 footprint and 100-foot lot provide the scale and flexibility to bring your dream to life. Comparable homes on the block, fully restored, have sold for three million or more-proof that the potential here is unmatched. <br> <br> Prime Location in Stuyvesant Heights.<br> Beyond the property itself, the location is truly unbeatable. Situated in Bed-Stuy's historic district, 297 Macon is surrounded by beautifully preserved townhouses and landmarked buildings, including Our Lady of Victory and Brooklyn Prospect International Elementary. Bed-Stuy's tree-lined streets are famed for their architectural charm and community pride, blending historic elegance with modern vibrancy.<br> <br> Neighborhood Highlights.<br> Just blocks from local favorites like Saraghina, Peaches HotHouse, Lun tico, and Tompkins Avenue's bustling open streets, you're immersed in one of Brooklyn's most dynamic neighborhoods. Convenient access to the A/C subway line ensures Manhattan is always within reach, while the tight-knit community of Stuyvesant Heights offers a world all its own.<br> 297 Macon Street offers the chance to create something extraordinary-whether it's your forever home or a smart investment in one of Brooklyn's most sought-after neighborhoods.
