521 macon street bed stuy 122014

This house at 521 Macon Street has some exuberant original details on the parlor floor, but we wonder about the rest based on the alterations on the floor plan and lack of photos. One of the agents tells us it needs only minor work — such as painting and some upgrades to the kitchen and baths in the owner’s unit — to turn it into a showpiece.

It’s currently set up as two floor-through rentals over an owner’s duplex. There is already a kitchen on the parlor floor, so presumably it wouldn’t be difficult to flip the configuration if a buyer prefers a triplex over a garden floor rental.

The exterior is interesting with its unusual top-floor window treatment, and it has its original front doors. The location is close to everything in Stuyvesant Heights.

Do you think they will get their ask of $1,700,000?

  1. prices are going up as y’all fingers type away. Buy now at asking price or pay more later. The people who are upset about prices going up are those who could have bought years ago but for whatever reason didn’t. Now its impossible for them to, so now they stoop to this level. Calling people “douche bag” smh. I’ve seen a guy go to an open house in Bed-Stuy and cursed at the broker and told her that it is her fault that Bed-Stuy has become unaffordable. Could you imagine somebody doing that to a broker in Park Slope.
