Description

12 Monroe Place, Brooklyn Heights. A rare opportunity to own a five story, 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, 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 The basement offers extensive storage, a walk-in cedar closet, and a large laundry area with work counters. Located one block from the Clark Street (2, 3) station and moments from Borough Hall (2, 3, 4, 5, R) and High Street (A, C), with easy access to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the shops and restaurants of DUMBO.
