Property Description

12 Monroe Place, Brooklyn Heights
A rare opportunity to own a 25-foot-wide townhouse on one of Brooklyn Heights's most picturesque and tranquil blocks. Built in1847, this 5,800 sq. ft. four-family residence is offered for the first time in nearly 70 years. Long held by a family of early Brooklyn Heights preservationists instrumental in establishing the neighborhood's landmark status and founding the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, the home retains original, remarkable 19th-century detail and presents a rare opportunity for restoration or thoughtful reimagining.

Parlor Level
Enter from a wide stoop into a grand double parlor with 12-foot ceilings, original relief plasterwork, two black marble mantels, and tiger oak parquet floors. West-facing windows, almost full height with their original shutters, overlook Monroe Place. A formal dining room with built-in bookshelves and a marble mantel, currently used as a second parlor, is ideal for entertaining. This level also includes a discreet powder room, generous storage, and an informal dining area with wet bar opening to a landscaped garden. Original pocket doors separating the parlors are within the walls, awaiting re-installation. The kitchen is equipped with dual sinks, stainless steel appliances, a skylight, and garden views.

Garden Level
A flexible and private living space with hardwood floors and a separate entrance. The primary suite overlooks the garden and includes custom California closets and an en-suite bath with double vanity, soaking tub, and bidet. A large recreation room and home office/den (or fourth bedroom) open directly to the outdoor space. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located at the front.

Upper Floors
Three full-floor one-bedroom apartments, currently rented:

Third Floor: 9-foot ceilings, oversized bedroom, renovated kitchen with dishwasher and washer/dryer Fourth Floor: Similar layout with preserved details and updated kitchen Fifth Floor: A distinctive, unique apartment featuring architectural elements salvaged from the 1935 SS Normandie-including columns, art glass, and hardware-plus a 24' x 6' west-facing terrace Basement & Location
