About This Property

376A Monroe Street is a beautifully reimagined two-family townhouse, offering an expansive owner’s triplex above a separate garden-level residence in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Redesigned by Brooklyn-based Italian architecture and design firm Olbos Studio, the home underwent an extensive renovation in 2023 that was featured in both ArchDaily and The Wall Street Journal. The result is a refined, highly considered interior defined by bleached hardwood floors, warm natural materials, custom architectural details, and a sophisticated sense of scale.

The parlor floor is designed for effortless living and entertaining, with 11-foot ceilings, gracious living and dining areas, custom-designed light fixtures, and a light-filled renovated kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, including a Thermador gas cooktop, Bosch wall oven, Zephyr beverage refrigerator, and an exterior-venting downdraft system that integrates seamlessly with the custom cabinetry and walk-in pantry.

One flight up, the full-floor primary suite offers a serene retreat, with French doors opening to a private balcony ideal for morning coffee, ample room for a seating area, and a custom walk-through closet connecting to the spa-like bathroom with a separate soaking tub. The third floor features two additional generously proportioned bedrooms, along with a home office illuminated by a skylight.

The private rear garden was completely redesigned in 2023 as a lush extension of the home. A custom wood pergola, privacy fencing, decorative stone, and established plantings of roses, wisteria, hydrangeas, hostas, and other perennials create an intimate setting for dining, entertaining, and quiet retreat.

A finished basement with a half bath adds valuable bonus space and is currently used as a gym, art studio, and storage area.

The separate garden-level two-bedroom residence offers the flexibility of rental income, guest accommodations, or additional living space while remaining distinct from the owner’s triplex.

Just moments from Tompkins Avenue, the location puts some of Bed-Stuy’s best dining, cafés, and neighborhood businesses at your doorstep. Favorites include Macosa Trattoria for housemade pasta, the lively Mexico City-inspired DOLORES, WARUDE, Brown Butter Craft Bar & Kitchen, neighborhood institution Peaches HotHouse, Thai favorite Ler Lers, and Cheeni, an all-day café and wine bar. Tompkins Avenue has become one of Bed-Stuy’s most vibrant neighborhood corridors, lined with independent restaurants, wine shops, cafés, and locally owned businesses.

Sophisticated yet inviting, 376A Monroe Street pairs exceptional design with the flexibility and functionality of a true Brooklyn townhouse—a distinctive home with private outdoor space, a separate income-producing residence, and one of Bed-Stuy’s most compelling neighborhood settings.
