Property Description for 24 Monroe Place, 4-D
Welcome to Monroe Place, quintessential, pin-drop quiet, tree-lined, Brooklyn Heights street.
Apartment 4D at 24 Monroe Place is a spacious home that has maintained many of its original details. The front door opens into a real foyer with two full closets leading into a gallery. From there, you can head towards the 21' living room or the oversized, formal dining room that leads into the galley kitchen. The large, windowed, kitchen, which includes a 2nd entrance/exit to the apartment, is the only room in the apartment that awaits your renovation.The DR can accommodate a dinner party of almost any size and is completely separated from the living room.
The LR which includes a working fireplace is spacious enough for multiple couches, a table and a WFH office space.
Back through the gallery and you will enter the 21' living room. This exceptional and classically proportioned space has high ceilings, a modern ceiling fan, and lovely treetop views over Monroe Place that reveal the Freedom Tower west in the distance. Custom built-ins are individually illuminated and there are more than enough shelves for even the most ardent of bibliophiles. Between the stacks sits an oversized living area with a lustrous original parquet floor and a working wood-burning fireplace. Living rooms this big are no longer built. You could set up a desk space or reading nook and still have more than enough space for a lush sitting area with large couches and a table. And of course, all the possibilities will only be enhanced by the roaring fire on chilly evenings.Both bedrooms will fit King-sized beds. Read that again because it's true. Both bedrooms are large enough to fit King-sized beds! Both bedrooms also have two full-sized closets and new ceiling fans. This is rare in Brooklyn, let alone in The Heights.The larger bedroom looks out over Monroe Place and gets excellent light with western views. As it is 15' long, beyond the bed, desks, drawers, and side tables, the room is primed for just about any arrangement that you could want.At 14' long, the 2nd bedroom has more than enough room for your furniture and dressers and side tables. The two closets are very spacious and, best of all, this bedroom has a full bathroom en suite with shower. This bathroom, with subway tile and modern fixtures, really adds a level of privacy unachievable in a hallway bath.Past the large linen closet through the hall stands the main full bathroom, which just went through a stunning renovation. It keeps the classic style but updates, including impeccable new brass fixtures and vanity, a rain shower, classic subway tile, and a new tile floor, bring fresh luxury into focus. The shower and bath are separate and allow you to spread out in true comfort while the west facing window allows sunny natural light in.Luxury doesn't end when you leave the apartment. 24 Monroe Place has the amenities you are looking for in a co-op. You can use keyless entry to get into the beautiful lobby area with its benches, two elevators and a package & mail space. There is a live-in super as well as a porter. A beautiful roof deck has stunning southern views of Brooklyn, NY Harbor and the Statue of Liberty all the way down to the Verrazzano Bridge. A beautiful modern and new laundry room is being completed right now. There is bike storage but, maybe most importantly, 5D comes with its own large private storage cage.
