Description
Discover elevated townhouse living at 521 Monroe, a brilliantly reimagined two-family brownstone in the heart of vibrant Bedford-Stuyvesant. Blending timeless architecture with modern sophistication, this newly renovated gem has been meticulously crafted to delight the senses—offering a rare opportunity in one of Brooklyn’s most coveted enclaves. Enter into a gracious foyer and into a sun-soaked living room where soaring ceilings and wide-plank oak floors set a tone of warmth and elegance. Natural light highlights refined finishes and artisanal craftsmanship, while an original fireplace marble mantle adds charm and ambiance. The living space flows seamlessly into a show-stopping chef’s kitchen, thoughtfully designed for both entertaining and everyday use. Featuring custom cabinetry, high-end integrated appliances—including a French-door Bosche refrigerator, six-burner Wolf range, microwave, wine cooler—and a marble-clad center island, the kitchen balances beauty with utility. Upstairs, the second level offers serene private quarters. The luxurious primary suite includes a walk-in dressing room and a spa-caliber en-suite bath, outfitted with dual marble vanities, a rain shower, and a sculptural soaking tub. A spacious home office or second bedroom, powder room, large hallway closet, and a discreet washer/dryer complete this floor. The third level unfolds with three sunlit bedrooms and two beautifully appointed baths—one with a skylight—as well as a skylit hallway that infuses the entire floor with warmth and glow. On the garden level, a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment offers exceptional versatility. With an airy living area, modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, deep-soaking tub, in-unit washer/dryer, and direct backyard access, this versatile home is perfectly suited as an income-producing rental or a refined guest suite. No detail was spared in this elegant renovation. Zoned central air, built-in speakers, custom closets, original moldings, double-pane windows, and rich herringbone oak floors create a home that blends luxury, comfort, and innovation. Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street, 521 Monroe enjoys proximity to beloved restaurants like Trad Room, Laziza, Saraghina, and Chez Oskar. Nearby parks offer courts and playgrounds, while the A/C trains, B26 bus, and a 20-minute drive to JFK ensure effortless connectivity.
