Welcome to 42 Monroe Place in Brooklyn Heights, a true architectural gem. At 26.5 feet wide, this townhouse spans an impressive 6,425 square feet, offering two grand duplex residences each with a separate entrance and major rooms that span the full width of the home. Each residence feels like a standalone house, offering impressive space and independence, yet they are linked by their shared architectural sensibility. This neo-Georgian masterpiece was built in 1913 by renowned architect Mott B. Schmidt and became a template for his design of a row of townhouses on Manhattan's Sutton Place.

The first two floors of the property are a sprawling 3,600sf four-bedroom home with an elegant living room, gallery and formal dining room with fireplace. A huge extension beyond the dining room features a modern windowed kitchen with a six burner Garland stove and Salamander broiler, a separate entertaining pantry plus a powder room and home office, and a casual dining area adjacent to a skylit sunroom. Floor to ceiling French doors open out to a serene patio and garden. Up the grand staircase are four bedrooms and two full baths, with the extra-wide primary suite occupying the front room facing west with stunning natural light, an en-suite bathroom and fireplace. Three additional bedrooms have tons of privacy, multiple exposures, and have easy access to a shared full bathroom and laundry.
There is also a 1,289sf windowed basement accessed from the main floor of the house or the street which can be incorporated as additional residential space.

Up the second staircase through its separate entrance is a spectacular 2,800sf three bedroom + office residence on the third and fourth floors. The welcoming third floor landing is the focal point of the home, providing the perfect flow from the 25 foot-wide living room on one side, and the formal dining room on the other. The wonderful kitchen features a Bosch induction range, windowed eat-in area and separate pantry with tons of counter and storage space. Beyond the kitchen are a windowed office and windowed laundry room as well as a full bathroom. Three perfect bedrooms and two full baths are on the top floor: the incredible 25 foot-wide primary suite facing west over Monroe Place, and two lovely bedrooms with a connecting door facing east. Off one of the bedrooms is a huge brand-new roof over the extension, the perfect spot for a roof top garden and deck. The main staircase continues up to the full roof, also brand new, with its lovely views across the Brooklyn Heights skyline and lower Manhattan beyond.

This is truly a rare offering in Brooklyn Heights that presents so many options. Occupied by the same family for over 45 years and impeccably maintained, this home is the rare compound under one roof. Each duplex is larger than many houses on the market, and both are in excellent condition, with potential to combine into one enormous home, expand into the windowed basement, and develop the two roof terraces. This home is perfectly situated in the heart of the neighborhood, with protected open western exposure, as well as glorious east, south and north exposure from the deep extension. Bring your family, bring your friends, and explore this once in a generation chance to occupy such a special home.
