42A MONROE Place UPPER

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.

The apartment has a private terrace of over 60 square feet, and the main staircase continues up to a full roof that has been newly rebuilt, with skyline views of Brooklyn Heights and Lower Manhattan.

A terrace that size gives you a place to eat outside or sit in the evening without leaving the home, which counts for a three-bedroom duplex of 2,800 square feet. The listing also notes a city view from the property.

The main level centers on a landing that links a 25-foot-wide living room with a formal dining room. The renovated kitchen has a Bosch induction range, a windowed eat-in area and a large pantry, so cooking sits close to where you'll gather.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths. The primary suite runs the full width of the floor and faces west over Monroe Place. The two bedrooms facing east share a connecting door, which works well for a guest room or an office. One bedroom opens to the new roof over the extension.

The washer and dryer are in the unit, and the laundry room is windowed. There's also a dishwasher, and a basement accessible from the street adds bonus space. Living across three levels with its own private entrance gives this townhouse a degree of separation that most apartments don't offer, though it does mean daily life involves stairs.

Cadman Plaza Park is about 2 minutes on foot. The Clark Street station, served by the 2 and 3 trains, is about 2 minutes away, and Court Street, with the 2, 3, 4, 5 and R, is about 4 minutes.
