If you are looking for a perfect move-in-ready two-family, four-level home with a glorious garden on the Clinton Hill - Bedford Stuyvesant border, 79 Monroe Street is the answer to your dreams. The current owners have renovated the property over the years, upgrading the electrical service, plumbing systems, and replacing the roof to the rafters in 2016, complete with a 15-year transferable warranty.
