Completed in 2026 after a multi-year, full gut renovation by the acclaimed team at NV Design Architecture, The Monroe Place Estate is a rare union of 19th-century grandeur and modern refinement-where every detail has been carefully restored and reimagined.
One Monroe Place - A Grand Corner Mansion
Drenched in natural light from three exposures, this 25-foot-wide landmark mansion with elevator unfolds across approximately 7,200 square feet. From the moment you enter, the home reveals itself through layers of texture and light-crown molding, wide-plank hickory floors, spa-inspired marble baths, and sun-filled rooms that feel both expansive and intimate.
The heart of the home is a chef's kitchen wrapped in Grigio Trambiserra marble, anchored by a dramatic island and outfitted with Viking, Sub-Zero, and Fisher & Paykel appliances. It is a space equally suited to quiet mornings and grand evenings.
The main residence offers seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and four powder rooms, alongside thoughtfully designed living spaces that include a wine cellar, wet bar, playroom, home office, fireplaces, and a full-floor primary suite complete with a private gym.
At the top, a rooftop terrace with 360-degree views and a gas grill crowns the home-an intimate escape above the city.
Below, two private garden-level studios-each with its own kitchen, full bath, and private entrances-offer a world of flexibility, whether for guests, family, staff, or creative use.
A Brooklyn Heights Icon
Moments from tree-lined streets, beloved cafés, and the waterfront paths of Brooklyn Bridge Park and the Promenade, The Monroe Place Estate sits at the heart of one of New York's most cherished neighborhoods. DUMBO, Cobble Hill, and Downtown Brooklyn are moments away, while ferry and subway lines connect you effortlessly to Manhattan and beyond.
Here, history, craftsmanship, and modern living converge-creating a home that is not just owned, but experienced.
Taxes are not finalized yet.
(Also available is 94 Clark Street. Together, 1 Monroe Place and 94 Clark Street form a singular residential estate-two independent homes, abutted but legally and physically separate. It is a property designed not only to be lived in, but to evolve with its owner: a private family estate, a multi-generational sanctuary, a live-work retreat, or a creative and professional hub. Two residences. One legacy. Endless possibilities. Inquire for more details.)
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.
