Summary:

Welcome to Macon Manor, a Rove Travel Home!



Rove offers beautifully designed residences with the quality and care of a 5-star hotel.



The Space:

Set within the heart of Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant Landmark District, Macon Manor emerges as a fully furnished, short-term rental brownstone. Designed in 1892 by architect Isaac D. Reynolds, this four-story brownstone is a beautifully preserved tribute to 19th-century craftsmanship, with pocket doors that glide effortlessly, stained-glass transoms that cast soft color across recently refurbished oak floors, intricate wood moldings, and five decorative mantels that lend the home a sense of quiet historic presence.



The home sits on a brownstone-lined street shaded by century-old oaks, just one minute from the Nostrand Avenue A/C express stop and surrounded by beloved local fixtures including Bunny, Le Paris Dakar, Peaches Hot House, Dolores, Ler Lers, Warude, Peace & Riot, and Bed-Vyne Brew. It’s a setting where history and modern life blend naturally and beautifully.



Stepping inside, the entry hall introduces the home’s craftsmanship through ornate wainscoting, a turned mahogany banister, and one of two original pier mirrors framing the staircase. The double parlor unfolds with high ceilings and restored oak floors bordered in intricate inlay. Angled bay windows with stained-glass panels illuminate the front parlor, where a grand pier mirror anchors the room. The rear parlor transitions into a bright, inviting kitchen with a Minton-tiled fireplace, built-in cabinets with beveled-glass doors, a generous island, stainless steel appliances, and hidden refrigerator and dishwasher. A private deck just beyond offers a sunny retreat for morning coffee or quiet evenings outdoors.



One floor up, the flexible primary suite can function as two distinct bedrooms separated by an original pocket door. The main sleeping area includes a queen bed, desk, television, and three closets, with peaceful north-facing views stretching toward Halsey Street. The adjoining bedroom features two twin beds and two additional closets, positioned beside a spacious, light-filled bathroom with a large south-facing window.



The top floor, illuminated by two skylights, offers a comfortable and versatile environment ideal for guests, work, or extended stays. A bedroom with a queen bed sits beside a gallery-like sitting area with books and collected objects, as well as a compact kitchenette equipped with a sink, full-size refrigerator and a laundry area. The gallery opens into a north-facing den furnished with a pull-out sofa, television, game table, and Danish chairs. Adjacent to this space, a dedicated home office features a streamlined desk and a mid-century daybed, providing a quiet place to work or rest. A south-facing bathroom completes the floor, connected by a bright hallway that draws light from above.



Don’t miss this opportunity to make this your temporary home. Macon Manor is not just a place — it’s a thoughtfully curated destination with a soul.
