Property Description for 7 Monroe Place
7 Monroe Place, listed in the 1849 city directory as the home of Isaac Harris, shipmaster, has been home to only four families in 170 years and has been enjoyed by two generations of one family since 1941. A distinguished residence in the Greek Revival style, it has a handsome brownstone stoop and upper brick facade. Interiors are well-preserved with a wealth of historic detail. It is 25 feet wide on a 100-foot lot. The parlor floor is 59 feet deep with 12-foot ceilings and a lovely bay overlooking a garden designed by Alice Ireys, a prominent landscape architect and life-long Heights resident. There is approximately 6500 square feet of living space on five floors, each reached by an elevator installed in 1993. It is configured as an owner's quadriplex, with a small top floor rear studio, a garden level simplex and a full cellar below. The east west orientation of the home on the widest street in Brooklyn Heights allows for natural light from morning to night. The location in New York City's first Historic District is quiet and at the same time convenient to all forms of urban transport.

Quick Profile
Brooklyn Heights was Manhattan’s first suburb. The Brooklyn Bridge is a neighborhood draw, offering some of the most beautiful views of the Manhattan skyline, as well as an easily walkable means of commuting into the City. Montague Street has been the main commercial street in Brooklyn Heights since the 1800s, but it is not overly commercialized. Smaller shops help maintain the small neighborhood feel of Brooklyn Heights.
The quaint cobblestoned side streets highlight the historic feel to this lovely, vibrant neighborhood that is filled with exciting and innovative restaurants, stores that have those perfect home decor items, that little black dress you love, and your favorite dry cleaner is right around the corner. Brooklyn Heights is your perfect city within the City.
There are apartments, condos, and co-ops that resulted from the conversion of pre-war residential hotels. The townhouses in Brooklyn Heights are often five stories, instead of the three stories found elsewhere. You’ll also find row houses and stunning single family mansions. Due to the three protected historic districts, opportunities for new construction are limited, and the appearance of the neighborhood seems frozen in the era when these buildings were originally constructed.
Renowned public and private schools make the neighborhood attractive to young families with school-age children. The neighborhood is generally “kid-friendly,” with parks, playgrounds, and quiet streets where kids can still play safely.
