Property Description for 485 Monroe Street

Welcome to 485 Monroe - a thoughtfully renovated three-bedroom (3BR), two-and-a-half bathroom (2.5BA) single family. This generously spacious home offers a thoughtful and meticulous re-imagination that blends a plentitude of modernity with a Scandinavian touch unifying undeniable fine-detailing and a tastefully curated composition.

The open concept parlor level provides a seamless approach to contemporary living. Upon entry to the parlor, you'll find a large dining space connected to the kitchen - large enough for a dining table with 10 seats, positioned charmingly next to two large south facing windows. The kitchen, tastefully positioned at the center of the home, bridges both primary spaces (the dining room and living room) for optimal, intimate enjoyment.

The kitchen, being one of the most stunning features of the home, is comprised of a custom selection of a unique collaboration of textures and styles for stylized definition and depth. White and gold Calcutta countertops blend seamlessly with the wooden cabinetry and provides a distinctive warmth. Floating shelves provide an aesthetic surface to showcase cherished items, resting nicely against an off-white horizontal-tile backsplash. Three golden globe pendants hang effortlessly above the island.

Passing through to the living room, you'll notice an evident sense of generous proportion, complimented by the massive glass windows and French doors. The seamless flow of light and air highlights the openness of the living space and contributes to a sereneness. The private garden, carefully constructed as a fundamental place for leisure and indulgence, sits quietly off the living room. A seamless indoor to outdoor transition becomes an integral facet of the home, bridging the interior space with natural elements. The yard provides a large deck, patio, and grassed area.

Progressing to the top floor of the home, you'll find three bedrooms (3BR) and two full bathrooms (2BA). The scrupulously designed primary bedroom is outfitted with four large closets and is massively proportioned to accommodate a king bed with additional space for a decorative seating area. A triplet of south facing windows provides enhanced exposure and elegant lighting. Just off of the primary bedroom is the en-suite primary bathroom custom outfitted with a gorgeous wooden double vanity with accentual rattan-faced cabinetry. A Calcutta marble penny-tile lays effortlessly across the floor, complimented by an off-white diagonal subway tile. The bathroom is outfitted with a large, glass standing shower including a rainfall shower head, hand-held, and open shower wall storage.

Across the hall are a well-appointed second and third bedroom as well as the second full bathroom. The second full bathroom follows a cohesive design style incorporating a grey and white penny tile complimented by a grey horizontal subway tile along the walls. The bathroom is outfitted with a dark grey single vanity with a marbled stone countertop and silver hardware. The deep soaking tub doubles as a standing shower with a silver shower body.

The basement of the home acts as additional large recreation space that is above grade and windowed for optimal light and air, creating the perfect space for a media room, gym, studio, and more.

485 Monroe is positioned in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant in Stuyvesant Heights, encompassed by historical architecture and neighborhood favorites such as Saraghina, L'Antagoniste, Peaches, Trad Room, Natural Blend, LunAtico, Mama Fox, Warude, Brown Butter, Corto, Peace & Riot, Chez Alex Bakery, and much more. Access to public transportation includes the Kosciuszko Street J and Kingston-Throop C trains.

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.
