A classic, fully renovated, brownstone on one of the most beautiful tree-lined blocks in Brooklyn. At the crossroads of Clinton Hill and Bed-Stuy, the surroundings offer a rare blend of tranquility and vibrant neighborhood living. Gut-renovated in 2023, with the highest standard of design and sustainability, 42 Monroe is a 2-family home with a layout that can easily be adapted if you prefer a grand single-family home. Currently set up as an owner's duplex over a garden rental, both units are thoughtfully designed with a cohesive aesthetic, creating a seamless sense of refinement throughout the home.

Sunlight pours through new, oversized double-hung windows on every floor. Each unit features wide-plank FloorScore certified wood flooring, recessed lighting, and Mitsubishi split A/C systems. The open kitchens are fitted with premium Samsung appliances, sleek cabinetry, and natural soapstone countertops and backsplash. Spa-inspired bathrooms feature Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, terrazzo floors, and fluted porcelain tilework, and LG washer/dryers. Both units have their own private outdoor space with an 8' high fence and plenty of space to grill, relax, or entertain. The garden-level unit opens directly to the backyard while the duplex connects via a staircase off the parlor-floor kitchen.

Monroe Street embodies classic Brooklyn charm, with rows of historic brownstones, mature trees, and a true neighborhood feel. The A/C and G trains are minutes away. Local staples like Saraghina, Place des Fetes, Locanda Vini & Olii, Speedy Romeo's, Fan Fan Doughnuts and Clementine Bakery are just around the corner.

Whether you're an end-user looking for flexibility, or an investor who knows the value of prime location and smart layout, this is an exceptional turnkey opportunity. Currently leased through February 2027, the property generates $10,825 per month in gross rental income.
