The best of all worlds awaits at 569 Monroe Street in Stuyvesant Heights. Restored from top to bottom, both inside and out, this elegant 2-family brownstone is ready for you to move in to right away and enjoy a sophisticated and elegant interior that lives in perfect harmony with an abundance of historic details. No boring developer renovation here this 20' wide and sunny townhouse has been thoughtfully restored and includes every single period detail for which these homes are so beloved; high ceilings with restored plaster medallions, inlaid herringbone floors, Piers mirror, handcarved and ornate window casings, picture moldings, pocket doors and rich marble mantles. Every original detail you have dreamed of coming home to is present in this property, augmented even further with the addition of brand-new kitchens, bathrooms, central AC, new windows, amazing closet space, updated plumbing, updated electric, new roof, and a fully finished cellar.

Use the entire house as a grand one-family with 5 beds, or take the upper owner's duplex and collect a substantial rent from the 2-bedroom rental on the garden level. Both units have access to a lush garden accessible from a substantial deck off the parlor floor, or through the back of the rental apartment. The garden is large enough to share, promising an even higher rental income should you decide to give your tenant a taste of the great outdoors. Head up a grand stoop into a magnificent double parlor that you will never want to leave. A marble-floored foyer welcomes you home into a grand space with a large front parlor offering leafy green street views and enough space for formal dining and everyday living. Head through a set of perfectly preserved pocket doors into a chef's kitchen of epic proportions, both practical and stylish. White oak cabinets in a slim shaker style, a fully integrated suite of Bertazzoni appliances, plus a huge dining island, offer a professional backdrop for everyday cooking. Striking Taj Mahal quartz countertops beautifully integrate with the ornate details throughout this floor. Seating for at least four at the island makes this the perfect entertaining kitchen with easy access to a spacious deck right off the kitchen, large enough for outdoor dining and a convenient staircase into the lower garden. There is even a powder room on this floor with a handmade Calacatta Violetta marble sink and wood paneling.

Head up a dazzling staircase with the original hand-carved banister and newel post fully intact. On the top floor you will enjoy three light-filled beds and two full baths. Two beds in back face the garden, and an oversized primary in front looks over the treetops. Enjoy customized closets in every bedroom, including a walk-in primary closet with drawers, hanging space, shelving, and LED lighting. The primary bath is right out of the pages of a magazine with its sophisticated taupe stacked ceramic walls and oversized marble floors. Another marble sink in this bathroom acts as a centerpiece between the freestanding tub and glass enclosed walk-in shower.

Head down to the garden level where a two-bed, two bath apartment awaits, perfect for additional monthly income. Enjoy a classic black and white palette, a timeless staple, in the main bath, and a second ensuite bath with terracotta floors, a rarity in a rental. The garden kitchen is as elegant as the main kitchen and includes oak cabinetry, quartz countertops and black fixtures, including a dishwasher and built-in microwave, plus a gas range. There is even a finished cellar accessible to the upper duplex resident! Use this for clean storage, or a gym, home office and/or media room. A powder room on this level makes it a multi-use space. Situated on one of the prettiest blocks in the center of Stuyvesant Heights, there are amazing amenities in every direction including Peaches, Saraghina, Chez Oskar, plus the A/C at Utica Avenue and the J train at Kosciusczko Street. Pocket parks and greenspaces abound.
