Listing Notes
Please note that Saturday's Open House is By Appointment Only. New Price! Welcome to 408 Monroe Street, a newly built, bespoke two-family brick townhouse offering approximately 4, 700 square feet of luxurious living space on a beautiful tree-lined street in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant, between highly coveted Tompkins & Throop Avenues. This expansive residence with nearly 52' of length seamlessly blends thoughtful design, premium finishes, and flexible functionality across five levels, including a private roof deck, a finished basement with direct interior and exterior access, roofdeck and landscaped zen garden. Step inside to a dramatic parlor level where soaring ceilings, crisp herringbone white oak floors, and abundant natural light set the tone. The grand living and dining areas flow effortlessly into a chef's kitchen designed for both daily living and elevated entertaining. Custom cabinetry, thick quartz island and countertops, pot filler, vented hood and a suite of high-end Bertazzoni and Dacor paneled appliances anchor the space. A built-in wet bar, wall mounted wine display and coffee station add convenience and sophistication, while double sliding glass doors extend the living experience onto a full-width deck overlooking your private backyard oasis. The kitchen's open layout, combined with Bluetooth speakers integrated into the smart home system, creates the perfect atmosphere for hosting and everyday relaxation. A chic powder room with floating stone vanity completes this level. The third floor is a true retreat, offering a luxurious primary suite with garden views, a large walk-in closet and dressing area, and a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub, walk-in rainfall shower, smart toilet and double vanities. A dreamy study overlooking the trees on leafy Monroe Street and three hallway closets complete the primary level. The top floor features a gracious guest bedroom, nearly as large as the primary, with its own walk-in closet and en-suite bath, along with two additional bedrooms, a skylit bathroom, and a fully equipped laundry room with folding station. From there, access the private roof deck, where skyline and treetop views-including the Freedom Tower-offer a peaceful escape or entertaining backdrop. The fully finished basement, accessible both internally and directly from the exteriors, has a full ceiling height and offers tremendous flexibility as a playroom, gym, home office, or creative studio. It includes a half bath and mechanical closet. The garden-level two-bedroom, one-bath apartment is equally well-appointed with a modern kitchen, in-unit washer/dryer, perfectly suited for additional income, or guest apartment, with seamless connection to the main unit. Additional features of the home include Marvin windows, multi-zone Mitsubishi central air, Delta fixtures throughout, smart home wiring with app-controlled lighting and security, and Bluetooth speakers. Located on one of Bed-Stuy's most charming brownstone blocks near Saraghina, Corto, Peaches, Bar LunÀtico, and Mama Fox, 408 Monroe Street is also just minutes from the A and C trains and Citibike, offering easy access across Brooklyn and into Manhattan. This is a rare opportunity to own a newly built, thoughtfully appointed home that offers scale, elegance, and flexibility in one of Brooklyn's most vibrant neighborhoods.
