Description
Bathed in natural light, the home is anchored by rich hardwood floors and a thoughtfully designed open kitchen featuring a charming breakfast nook. Overhead skylights flood the kitchen with sunlight throughout the day, creating an inviting, airy atmosphere...Positioned within a distinguished townhouse on landmarked Monroe Place—arguably one of Brooklyn Heights’ most enchanting, tree-lined streets—this sun-drenched one-bedroom residence offers a refined blend of historic character and contemporary ease.
Bathed in natural light, the home is anchored by rich hardwood floors and a thoughtfully designed open kitchen featuring a charming breakfast nook. Overhead skylights flood the kitchen with sunlight throughout the day, creating an inviting, airy atmosphere rarely found in townhouse living. The bathroom, conveniently located just off the kitchen, is outfitted with a full-size soaking tub. A striking exposed brick wall introduces warmth and texture, while rear-facing windows ensure both privacy and tranquil, open views.
21 Monroe Place is an intimate, self-managed, pet-friendly co-op offering a shared roof deck with stunning city views. Perfectly positioned moments from neighborhood favorites such as Chama Mama, L'Appartement 4F, and the waterfront at Brooklyn Bridge Park.
There is no flip tax. Pied-a-terre, co-purchasing, guarantors are allowed case by case basis.
Ideally located near multiple subway lines—including the R, A, C, F, 2, 3, 4, and 5—this home provides exceptional access to Manhattan and the rest of Brooklyn.
