Welcome to 554 Monroe Street, a sun-drenched 1,400-square-foot upper duplex tucked inside a stately blond-brick brownstone on a classic Bed-Stuy block.
Stroll past the manicured front garden and ascend the stoop to your private entrance. As soon as you walk in, light takes center stage. This airy duplex is framed by oversized windows both front and back, bathing every corner in golden natural light.
The main level is open and expansive — think flow, not formality. The wide-plank hardwood floors stretch across the entire floor, connecting a seamless space that balances form and function. The generous eat-in kitchen features ample cabinetry, wraparound counters, a full-size island, and room for a breakfast bar setup. There’s even a tucked-away butler’s pantry nook — perfect for a coffee station or impromptu mixology moment.
The adjoining living and dining areas offer flexible space for whatever layout suits your life — room to dine, gather, work, stretch, create, or simply be.
Upstairs, you’ll find two oversized bedrooms — both king-sized and equally light-filled. Each room is large enough to accommodate a full WFH setup, reading corner, or yoga mat moment. The front bedroom features elevated ceiling heights, giving the space an airy lofted feel.
The two bedrooms are smartly separated by a spa-like bathroom complete with a deep soaking tub, ideal for decompressing after city days. This layout provides excellent privacy — a true win for roommates or anyone who enjoys a little breathing room.
Additional perks? In-unit washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, central heating and cooling, plus the comforting presence of traditional steam heat — because some things in brownstone living shouldn’t be messed with.
Set on a tree-lined street and perfectly situated near beloved local haunts: Brew, Saraghina, Peaches, L’Antagoniste, Nana Ramen, The Trad Room, and Life Wellness. Commuting is a breeze with the A/C at Utica and the J at Kosciusko just minutes away.
This isn’t just an apartment. It’s a mood.
Come see for yourself.
