Property Description for 709 Monroe Street
709 Monroe Street was once as stately as any brownstone on the block. But two years ago an electrical fire swept through the parlor level damaging floors and walls and ceilings. It was quickly extinguished (no one was hurt), but what remains of the house is a ghost of its former self. It is now the job of its next owner to breathe life back into this big, beautiful house and make it a home again.
The house is a legal two-family, built 20x50 ft. on a 20x100 ft. lot with an additional 1,000 sq ft of FAR remain unbuilt, allowing for a total of 4,000 sq ft. of livable space. Many original details remain intact or in good condition. Of course, this property is being sold as-is and must be purchased in cash. For video of the interior, please get in touch.

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.
