About This Home
As of May 2026With low real estate taxes and affordable common charges, there's a lot to love at the penthouse at 697 Monroe Street - the brightest unit with abundant outdoor space in this stylishly renovated four-unit brownstone condo on a tree-lined block in Bedford-Stuyvesant. This exceptional duplex unit combines modern luxury with thoughtful design, featuring two large bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, an open kitchen, and a huge living and dining space filled with southern light. The flexible layout offers enough space to add a home office or third bedroom.
The chef's kitchen impresses with an oversized Carrara marble island, Bertazzoni gas range, Liebherr refrigerator, wine fridge, and Bosch dishwasher. Wide-plank white oak floors extend throughout the home. A washer/dryer closet on the main level provides additional storage. This level also includes a powder room and second bedroom featuring a wall of windows and en-suite bath. Central HVAC ensures year-round comfort.
Ascend to the upper level to find the primary suite with an ample bedroom, en-suite bath, and direct access to a lovely paved terrace. A secondary access door welcomes guests, while a striking circular staircase leads to a second, even larger terrace offering 360-degree city views.
Perfectly positioned near Salgado Playground's community garden, playground, and basketball court, Saratoga Park, and the vibrant restaurants lining Malcolm X Blvd. Convenient to the J and various bus routes.
