Beautifully renovated, legal two family configured as a single family, on a quiet one way street on Clinton Hill Border. Extra-wide sidewalks, a sunny backyard with a 160 year old wild cherry oak tree providing the perfect shade, lots of built-in storage and a self-sustaining living wall purifying the air?

In the middle of one of the best blocks in Brooklyn, 40 Monroe stands out. Newly renovated in the last two years, with high end fixtures and appliances, this quaint Brooklyn townhome combines traditional and modern design in a magical way.
Going up the stairs to the parlor floor you will notice the large original, glass doors that separate the outside world from your private enclave.
Once inside, the soundproof windows and exposed brick will catch your eye, before you soon notice the tall ceilings and wide plank hardwood flooring. An open living area combines with the dining area, leaving more than enough room for entertaining and dining. A built-in fully self-sustainable ivy wall, complements the living space, bringing the outside in.
A few steps to the back of the house, and there is a large sunny kitchen with beautiful stainless steel Miele appliances and slow closing drawers. Large double porcelain sink and ample counter space make preparing food a breeze. Large custom built bench and table with striking Tom Dixon fixtures overhead line the dining area. Like having dinners outside or a morning coffee? A huge steel deck takes you to your own incredibly large yard, with steps down to a tiled and grassed area for all your outdoor adventures. Half of the outdoor area is paved, and the other half has high end syn-lawn down for soft landings off the swing set. A custom built in planting wall and custom outdoor lighting complete the yard.
Back inside, come along downstairs through a full wall of glass doors (where the former second unit resided) and there is a beautifully renovated bathroom with high end fixtures, and an open living area with beautiful built-ins. One more flight down and there is a large basement with washer/dryer, second fridge, and built in storage. Split system air conditioning and heating throughout each room of the house.
The top floor boasts two large sunny, bedrooms, linen closet and a tiled bathroom with bathtub. A skylight over the staircase floods the landing with natural daylight. Access to the roof from the third floor.
Need even more space? 1,600sqft of buildable footage can be added to both the top and the back of the house.
Located just three blocks to the subway, around the block from amazing places like Speedy Romeo, Clementine, Hart’s and the Fly. 40 Monroe is an ideal place to set some roots.
