Here’s a gut renovated 1870s Bed Stuy brownstone that’s not a flip — or doesn’t appear to be at least. If it is, the house — at 231 MacDonough Street, in the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District — is a good bit more attractive and thoughtfully done than average.

It’s got a modern feel, with an open plan parlor floor, contemporary light fixtures and glass rear wall, but with a few original details blended in, including a marble fireplace mantel and newel post and banister.

Measuring 20′ by 40′, the house is set up as a one-family, with five bedrooms. There are two on the top floor, both with en-suite baths and a wall of closets. Then there are a pair of bedrooms on the second floor, which could also be treated as a master suite, or the second bedroom could serve as an office or library.

The last bedroom is on the garden level, alongside a family room with glass doors leading out to a patio.

The kitchen is deluxe, with lovely teak cabinets a granite island, a Wolf stove and a SubZero fridge. (There’s more of that teak in the master bedroom, which has a wall of teak closets.) There’s a spacious deck off the back with steps to the cedar-fenced garden.

The house has zoned a/c, new windows, a new roof, a restored facade, new furnace and hot water heater, an alarm system, a NEST thermostat and upgraded electric. So there’s not much to do here besides move in.

Listed by Halstead brokers Ban Leow and Howard Ramlal, the house is asking $2.35 million. How do you like it?
