Historic Bed-Stuy Brownstone with Character, Space, and Endless Potential
Step inside this grand three-family brownstone where 19th-century craftsmanship meets 21st-century opportunity. Behind the stately facade, you’ll find original details that define Brooklyn architecture at its finest—ornate Eastlake brass doorknobs, tall parlor doors with intricate millwork, stained and textured glass panels, crown molding, and beautifully aged hardwood parquet floors.
Spanning approximately 3,600 square feet, the property features a flexible multi-family layout—ideal for an owner’s duplex with income or a high-yield investment. Live in one unit and rent the others, or reimagine the layout into a luxurious single-family residence. Each level retains unique period features and generous natural light, while the rear garden and mature tree offer a rare urban retreat.
The parlor level impresses with its soaring ceilings, carved wood entryway, and double-door vestibule leading to the grand staircase—ideal for entertaining or restoration enthusiasts who value authenticity. Upstairs, the apartments feature bright rooms with original trim and large windows overlooking tree-lined Marcy Avenue.
Outside, the deep private backyard provides a serene escape with space for gardening or outdoor gatherings. The home’s mechanicals and footprint make it a strong candidate for a high-end renovation or long-term income-producing investment.
With its solid structure, period details, and value-add potential, 819 Marcy Avenue stands as the perfect canvas for restoration and long-term equity growth.
Located steps from Tompkins Avenue cafes, Herbert Von King Park, and the A/C trains, this property combines neighborhood charm, architectural heritage, and modern convenience.
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Brooklyn’s architectural legacy while building wealth and creating your own story.
