On the parlor floor the ten foot ceiling height and elegant herringbone floors are complemented by massive windows across the width of the home.

The stairs and elevator continue up to a glorious roof terrace with views of the Manhattan skyline. In the finished basement there is a flexible space for a media or play room, and a separate room for home gym or wine cellar, a full bath, and a huge laundry room with two sets of washer/dryers. 27 Monroe Place has been restored with an incredible attention to detail, with elegant, timeless finishes and a gracious layout that accommodates large scale entertaining, casual outdoor dining and a seamless transition from the refined elegance of the public spaces to the gracious intimacy of the bedroom suites. This rare property is perfectly located in the very heart of this beautiful neighborhood on a one-block tree-lined street, and is ready to be called home.
