...Exceptional Brooklyn Brownstone Living w/ South Facing Garden

Live or generate income, 590 Monroe St is Positioned on a picturesque stretch of Monroe Street between Lewis and Stuyvesant Avenues, this exceptional two-family brownstone seamlessly blends historic charm with modern sophistication. Boasting a coveted south-facing garden, the home offers an abundance of natural light and a serene outdoor retreat.

Meticulously reimagined through a comprehensive, high-quality renovation, the property is delivered in turnkey condition. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, including new electrical systems, upgraded lighting throughout, new gas and water infrastructure, and two newly installed boilers—one dedicated to each residence. The home is further enhanced by new windows, and beautiful hardwood flooring, with select original wood details preserved to honor its architectural heritage.

Both residences feature private vented washer and dryer units, offering ultimate convenience and modern comfort. The fully excavated and finished basement adds substantial value and flexibility, while approximately 1,494 square feet of unused FAR presents a rare opportunity for future expansion.

Owner’s Duplex
The expansive owner’s duplex is designed for elevated living and effortless entertaining. The parlor level showcases an open-concept kitchen that flows seamlessly onto a private deck, overlooking the tranquil backyard—perfect for indoor-outdoor living. A gracious living area and elegant powder room complete this level. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms and two full bathrooms provide a peaceful retreat. The primary suite offers generous proportions (approximately 18 x 12 feet) and a refined en-suite bath.

Garden Residence
The garden apartment has been impeccably renovated and thoughtfully soundproofed, creating a quiet and private living experience. It features a spacious front living area, abundant storage, and a sleek galley kitchen outfitted with stainless steel appliances. A dedicated laundry room enhances functionality.

Lower Level
The re-envisioned basement boasts impressive 8-foot ceilings achieved through full excavation, reinforced foundations, and newly poured concrete floors. With separate exterior access from both the front and rear, this versatile space is ideal for a studio, workshop, or creative sanctuary.
