Property Description for 502A Monroe Street

Originally constructed in 1905, this newly renovated home is the perfect combination of high-end finishes, modern technology, and impeccable details, an honorable salute to its past.

The townhouse is a 20-foot-wide, two family Brownstone is approximately 2800 square feet and features 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 1 powder room, a large parlor deck, and expansive backyard garden. From American Walnut floors to thoughtfully designed molding and exposed brick as well as wired for surround sound, attention to detail can be found throughout this well-appointed home.

As you enter the owner's three bedroom duplex, you are greeted by a mosaic tiled foyer and an original glass door. Stepping into a 40-foot parlor, you realize the breadth of space as the 10-foot ceilings let the light radiate throughout the open floor plan. To the right, a formal living room area with wood burning fireplace offers a great space for entertaining. To the left, a large dining area and thoughtfully designed powder room. In the back, your kitchen features a three-seat island, decorative fireplace, custom cabinetry, and a large casement window looking out to the backyard. With farmhouse sink and a full complement of appliances including Viking refrigerator, Wolf six-burner stove, wine refrigerator, and microwave drawer, this kitchen is a chef's dream.

Upstairs you find three bedrooms and two full baths. The elegant master bedroom faces the serene backyard garden and features three windows and a dual closet. The master bath is adorned with marble tiled floors, a tasteful double vanity, and a glass-enclosed rain shower. As you head down the hall, you pass the complementary second bathroom adjacent to two comfortable bedrooms.

The private basement can be accessed through an interior staircase and is finished with textured tile floors. It can easily be transformed into a playroom, home office or artist studio. The separate garden floor two-bedroom unit can serve as an income-producing property or in-law apartment.

This masterfully reimagined townhouse is located on a beautiful, tree-lined block in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant. You are moments away from great establishments such as The Wilky, L'Antagoniste, Saraghina's, and Peaches as well as three local parks that feature playgrounds, basketball or tennis courts. Nearby public transportation includes the A/C & J trains or the Halsey B26, and JFK is a short 20min drive. Additionally, as you may know, the acclaimed Coop School will be moving around the corner to Marcus Garvey and Gates.

Bedford Stuyvesant | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Known for its historic brownstones and tight-knit enclave, Bed-Stuy has increasingly left behind its early reputation for being a “bedroom community” and transcended into a highly desirable neighborhood. 

Distinct for its aesthetic, it is populated with ornate buildings characterized by cornices, friezes, finials, fluting and other marks of classic architecture. Built up during the period from 1870 to 1900, its historic district runs to the north of Jefferson Avenue, to the east of Malcolm X Boulevard and to the west of Tompkins Avenue. 

At one point known as “Brooklyn’s Little Harlem,” the shape of the area has shifted toward attracting a wider demographic of people thanks to the influx of bars, restaurants, antique furniture stores and vintage boutiques. More police enforcement paired with the decline of the crack epidemic at the beginning of the 2000s also opened the door for increased development, as well as the occupation of formerly abandoned buildings and spaces.
