Welcome to 638 Monroe Street, a beautifully preserved 19th-century brownstone on a picturesque, tree-lined block in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Brimming with original details and thoughtful updates, this three-story home plus basement offers a flexible layout, a sun-filled garden, and timeless Brooklyn charm. Versatile in design, this property can be configured as a spacious single-family home, an owner's duplex with a garden rental, or a multi-family income property-ready to suit your needs. A comprehensive renovation completed in 2019 includes updated kitchen and bathrooms; appliances; French doors; and windows-seamlessly blending modern comfort with historic character. Enter through the parlor floor, where soaring ceilings, intricate crown moldings, and original hardwood floors create a welcoming and timeless setting. Two fireplaces, exposed brick, French doors, and chandeliers enhance the home's architectural character. The spacious layout offers a front living room and large dining area, and a thoughtfully updated kitchen equipped with modern appliances, custom cabinetry, and ample storage. A full bathroom completes this level for added convenience. The garden floor offers a bright, flexible space with its own entrance-perfect for a separate rental unit, guest suite, or recreation area. This level includes a second kitchen, exposed brick details, a full bathroom, and direct access to the private south/east-facing garden-a sun-drenched oasis ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or gardening. The top floor hosts three bedrooms, a home office with skylight, and two fireplaces, creating cozy and light-filled retreats. Large windows bring in abundant natural light, while a full bathroom serves the floor, offering comfort and privacy. The basement offers additional storage, a laundry area with GE washer/dryer, and the home's mechanicals, including a brand-new boiler installed in 2024. Perfectly situated near Bed- Stuy's vibrant dining and shopping, and nearby the J, Z, A, and C subway lines, 638 Monroe Street is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Brooklyn's rich architectural heritage in a prime location.
