Description

Welcome to this stunning two-family Brooklyn Brownstone with a total of 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms, located in the heart of desirable Bed-Stuy. This light-filled designer home has been impeccably renovated, offering an expansive 3BR/2.5BA duplex over a 2BR/1BA garden apartment, as well as a fully finished basement equipped with an additional 1/2 bathroom. Atop a quintessential Brownstone stoop, enter the 3BR/2.5BA duplex to find open concept living at its finest with a generous living room leading to an elegant dining room ideal for hosting. The chef's kitchen is a dream, complete with a Wolf range, Bosch appliances, breakfast bar, and a massive island adorned with premium quartz counters and a dramatic waterfall edge. A 1/2 bathroom, access to the backyard, and custom built-in storage make this the perfect parlor floor. Ascend the charming staircase to a sun-drenched top floor and find a massive primary bedroom with custom walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom, two additional bedrooms, and a second full bathroom with soaking tub. Down to the garden level, you’ll find a fully contained 2BR/1BA apartment with a private entrance. Beautifully renovated, it would surely fetch top dollar as a rental for additional income. Also ideal for an au pair or as a private retreat for family and friends to come and stay. The sprawling finished basement boasts its own 1/2 bathroom and makes an ideal media room, recreation space, office, or art studio. Also offering ample storage and oversized custom closets, it is as functional as it is welcoming. The fully landscaped backyard makes this home an entertainer’s delight, featuring lush landscaping, automatic lighting, irrigation, an oversized deck with a magnificent gazebo, and a patio area perfect for grilling. This exquisite outdoor paradise can be accessed from the duplex via a parlor level deck and staircase, as well as the garden apartment. Additional architectural elements include a fully restored Brownstone façade, built-ins, decorative moldings, exposed brick, high ceilings, southern and northern exposures, and a large skylight that beacons sunshine from above. Split unit air conditioners, a built-in sounds system, dual pane windows, automatic shades, and a curation of tasteful chandeliers and fixtures add both elegance and modernity. Coupled with fully updated structural and mechanical elements, 439A Monroe St is truly turnkey and ready for you to call it home. Located on a beautiful tree lined block near a plethora of trendy restaurants and cafes. Nearby schools include The Co-op School and the Academy of Arts and Letters. A lovely park with playground is across the street. Close to the A/C trains. Note: The backyard is significantly deeper than floor plan drawing shows (see actual dimensions). Advertised square footages as well as measurements on floor plan are not guaranteed nor verified. Advertised square footage includes the fully finished cellar level and is based on public records and floor plan measurements.
