Welcome to the 3,600 sq ft duplex (1st/2nd floors plus basement storage) at 42 Monroe Place, a grand residence inside a 26.5-foot-wide 1913 Neo-Georgian townhouse designed by Mott B. Schmidt. With a private entrance, fullwidth rooms, and a serene garden, this home offers true townhouse living in the heart of Brooklyn Heights.
The parlor level features an elegant fullwidth living room, a gracious gallery, and a formal dining room with fireplace. A massive rear extension includes a modern windowed kitchen with a sixburner Garland stove and Salamander broiler, an entertaining pantry, powder room, home office, and a casual dining area leading to a skylit sunroom. Floor-to-ceiling French doors open to a private patio and landscaped garden.
Up the sweeping staircase are four bedrooms and two full baths, including an oversized primary suite with western light, fireplace, and ensuite bath. Three additional bedrooms enjoy multiple exposures and easy access to the shared bath and laundry.
A windowed basement, accessible from both the main floor and the street, provides exceptional bonus space.
Freshly painted interiors and refinished wood floors throughout complete this rare offering.
