24 Monroe Place #6D

If light, space and restored pre-war charm are what you long for, this gracious five-room Brooklyn Heights co-op is sure to please. It offers an exceptionally well-designed layout, with living and dining rooms opening from the foyer, separate kitchen, and two full size bedrooms, each with its own bath. Storage includes seven fitted closets, one of which is cedar-lined. The apartment is located on the 6th floor with three exposures, windows in every room, and light all day. Improvements are numerous and include a woodburning fireplace for winter cheer, custom-designed bookcases and radiator covers, refinished hardwood floors, restored plaster walls, moldings, and baths, beamed ceilings and a renovated kitchen.

24 Monroe Place is a distinctive 1928 12-story, 52 unit co-op where tradition has been burnished to a high polish in recently redecorated lobby and halls. There is a full-time live-in super, and laundry and designated storage in basement. The building has a common roof deck, two elevators and keyless intercom entry. All this on a tree-lined block in New York City's first Landmark neighborhood, beautifully preserved, historic Brooklyn Heights. The area is a metro-transit dream, with every train line available for speedy transport to Manhattan. At your leisure, make the most of the Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge and Cadman Plaza Parks, and all the shops and restaurants one expects in a community where quiet enjoyment and neighborliness are the standard fare.
