About This Property
5B at 29 Montrose Avenue is a distinctive duplex residence offering modern design, two private balconies, and a dramatic top-floor primary suite overlooking the Manhattan skyline in this boutique Williamsburg condominium.
Freshly updated with new interior paint and new flooring, the home has a crisp, contemporary feel throughout. The main level is centered around an open living and dining space, with a flexible adjoining bedroom that can serve as a guest room, home office, or extension of the entertaining area. Upstairs, the primary suite occupies its own level, creating a quiet retreat with a true sense of privacy. Generous proportions, walk-in closets, a spacious en-suite bath with soaking tub, and skyline views make this floor one of the home’s defining features.
The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with a new gas range and microwave, alongside streamlined cabinetry, it offers a functional setting for both everyday cooking and entertaining. Two spacious private balconies alongside a dedicated rooftop area, totaling over 250sqft, extend the footprint of the residence, offering indoor-outdoor living experiences and additional places to unwind. Central heating and cooling, recessed lighting, in-unit washer & dryer, a steamed shower room, and modern finishes complete the home.
Uniquely positioned in a prime Williamsburg location, 29 Montrose Avenue offers the rare balance of neighborhood energy and residential ease. Cafés, restaurants, shops, and everyday conveniences are close at hand, while the G, J, M, and Z trains provide easy access throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan. Rare in both layout and scale, Residence 5B combines the privacy of duplex living, the flexibility of multiple indoor and outdoor spaces, and a serene top-floor retreat with Manhattan skyline views—all within an intimate setting rarely found these days.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
Two private balconies and a dedicated rooftop area add over 250 square feet to this duplex, which gives you several places to step outside without leaving home. Those spaces sit alongside 1,061 square feet of interior, so the apartment has more than one way to open up to the outdoors.
The primary suite takes up its own level, with walk-in closets, an en-suite bath with a soaking tub, and skyline views. Putting the bedroom upstairs, apart from the living area, is the main reason to choose a duplex, and this layout does it cleanly.
Downstairs, an open living and dining space sits beside a flexible bedroom that can work as a guest room or home office. An open plan keeps the room feeling connected, though cooking and working happen in the same space, so the adjoining room helps there.
The kitchen has a new gas range and microwave, stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, and streamlined cabinetry. Central heating and cooling, a washer and dryer in the unit, and a steamed shower room round out the apartment.
The G train at Broadway is about 2 minutes on foot, and the J and M at Hewes Street are about 6 minutes. Sternberg Park is about 1 minute away and Brooklyn Harvest Market is about 2 minutes, so daily errands are close. The building has an elevator and a roof deck, and it doesn't take long to see why the location works for a duplex.
