Ang 480A MacDonough Street ay maliwanag at maaliwalas na may mataas na kisame at pinalamutian ng mga detalye mula sa nakaraang panahon, isang ganda ng brownstone na may orihinal na detalye na nananatili at mga pangunahing pag-upgrade tulad ng bagong elektrikal, boiler, AC, bubong at mga modernong kusina at banyo. Ang tatlong palapag, tatlong-pamilihang townhome na ito ay kasalukuyang naka-set up bilang isang dalawang-pamilya na may mas mababang duplex at nangungupahang nasa itaas na palapag, at matatagpuan sa isang batong layo mula sa express A train Utica stop.

Itinayo noong 1892 ni Henry B. Hill sa istilong Romanesque/Renaissance Revival, ang eleganteng bahay na ito ay nagpapanatili ng orihinal na ironwork sa labas at mga detalye sa labas. Ang kaakit-akit na parlor floor ay nagtatampok ng dalawang pambihirang mantel na may over-mantels, pocket doors, stained glass, crown molding, shutters, orihinal na ceiling medallions, dekoratibong kahoy na trim, at hagdang-bato.

Ang pangatlong dekoratibong mantel (lima lahat!) ay naggaganda sa lebel ng hardin kasama ang waist-high wainscoting at mga bagong tin ceilings na may recessed lighting sa buong lugar. Ang pangunahing kusina ay matatagpuan sa likuran ng hardin at kamakailan ay na-remodel na may klasikong subway tile, granite counters at isang eating island. Sa labas ng kusina ay isang modernong full bath at isang laundry room na may walk-out patungo sa hardin. Ang backyard na mababa ang pangangalaga na may built-in na planter at decking ay perpekto para sa pagdiriwang o simpleng pag-enjoy ng summer bbq kasama ang mga mahal sa buhay sa ilalim ng pergola.

Ang itaas na palapag ay nagpapanatili ng dalawang orihinal na mantel, shutters, trim at crown moldings at na-upgrade na may dalawang mini split AC units at isang kamakailang na-renovate na kusina at full bath. May dalawang AC condensers sa bubong na may kakayahang patakbuhin ang kabuuang sampung yunit.
