749 Monroe Street

749 Monroe Street, originally built in 1899, has been meticulously renovated to offer contemporary elegance with exceptional attention to detail. Across from the park and south facing, as you enter through the wide double doors, you are greeted by an abundance of natural light that fills the spacious living room, showcasing its high ceilings. The adjacent dining area creates an inviting atmosphere for memorable gatherings. Past the dining area, is the chef’s kitchen—a culinary masterpiece that artfully blends modern finishes with classic design.

It features top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, including a Wolf six-burner stove with a pot filler, a paneled Bosch refrigerator, paneled Bosch dishwasher and a wine cooler. With quartz countertops and custom cabinetry, this kitchen transforms meal preparation into a delightful experience. Surrounding the living room, dining area, and kitchen is a built-in surround sound system, cleverly sconced in the ceiling and easily connectable via Bluetooth.

A generous deck extends from the kitchen leading to the backyard. Upstairs, you will find a thoughtfully designed layout with three spacious bedrooms, each with its own charm. The primary suite overlooks the backyard, providing a serene retreat complete with ample closet space and a luxurious ensuite bathroom featuring a dual vanity and a large shower. Two additional bedrooms, overlooking the tree-lined street and park, comfortably accommodate queen-size beds and share a beautifully appointed bathroom with a soaking tub.

The washer/dryer closet can be found in the hallway as well. Downstairs and connected to the main house, the finished windowed cellar offers versatile space for storage, recreation, or a home office, complete with temperature control, sound system and a powder room. The separate garden unit also features two bedrooms and one bathroom apartment, making it an ideal income-producing asset or in-law suite. Located near the J/Z trains on Gates Avenue and the vibrant businesses along Malcolm X, Patchen, and Ralph Avenues—such as Passion Fruit Coffee, Chez Alex, Trad Room, and Early Yves Cafe—749 Monroe Street is perfect for city commuters seeking the tranquility of a peaceful neighborhood.
