552 Macon St

Brand new and never lived in, 552 Macon Street presents an uncommon opportunity: a 2,457-square-foot triplex in a beautifully restored 1899 brownstone, where the original details have been preserved and everything else is entirely new. Head up the stoop and through the original carved double doors to the parlor level, where herringbone white oak floors run the full length of a generous living and dining room. The building's original woodwork has been carefully retained the carved newel post and turned balustrade, the restored window casings, a decorative marble mantel set against floor-to-ceiling paneling and a graceful bay window at the front. A powder room is tucked discreetly beneath the stair. At the rear of the parlor level, the chef's kitchen opens to the outdoors through a wall of steel-framed glass. A waterfall island in Taj Mahal stone anchors the room, surrounded by custom white oak cabinetry, a full-height slab backsplash, and a pot filler above the range. The appliances are exceptional: a 36-inch Wolf six-burner rangetop beneath a custom hood, a Bosch double wall oven, a Bosch integrated refrigerator and dishwasher, a microwave drawer, and a dual-zone wine refrigerator. Just beyond, a private terrace of nearly 280 square feet sits level with the kitchen, framed by treetops, with its own stair down to the garden. You will find yourself living out here. The top floor holds a serene primary suite with two full closets and a marble bath featuring a double vanity and a walk-in double shower, with two rain heads, a built-in bench, and a skylight above. Two additional bedrooms, one wrapped in the building's original bay, share a second full bath with a soaking tub, terrazzo floors, and a skylight of its own. The washer and dryer are on this level. Accessible by a private interior staircase, the finished lower level adds a full additional floor with its own half bath, offering flexibility as a rec room, media room, home gym, or studio. This space is included and is not shown in the photographs. Other amenities include central heating and air conditioning, wired ceiling speakers, an LG washer and dryer, and a newly built shared garden with a bluestone patio and cedar deck. Set on a picturesque, tree-lined block in Bedford-Stuyvesant, the home is minutes from the restaurants and cafes along Lewis Avenue, with convenient access to the A/C subway lines and an easy drive to JFK. Pets considered on a case-by-case basis.
