Own a fine home on a beautiful Stuyvesant East block that was this years winner of Greenest Block in Brooklyn. 741 Macon Street was designed by German trained architect Henry Vollweiler in 1889 for developer-builder James J. McCoy. The transitional Romanesque/Renaissance Revival two family sandstone house is now configured as a one family home. The well-presented dual aspect reception parlor features decorative plaster ceilings and original flooring. Original detail abounds, with many of the original slate and wood mantelpieces in place, all with Minton-style tile work. Waist-high wainscoting circles the formal dining room on the ground floor, leading to a large eat-in kitchen, and the spacious green garden beyond. Upstairs, large sunny bedrooms with ample storage space await, and two full bathrooms. The roof, facade and mechanicals of this home have all been updated. The property is within the proposed Stuyvesant East historic district, and offers easy access to amenities such as the very popular Manny's Cafe, Bed-Stuy Fresh and Local, Brooklyn Burger and Brew Co. and Saratoga Square Park, which is only a half block away. Additionally, a comprehensive range of new shops, bars, and restaurants are located on Broadway, Malcolm X Blvd and Lewis Ave. Transportation is swift and easy with J and C trains nearby, along with multiple bus lines.
