From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Welcome to Residence 2 at 695 Monroe Street, a warm and inviting two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom home where thoughtful design, natural light, and a wonderful private terrace come together in a space that simply feels good to be in. The home opens into a bright living and dining area with beautiful hardwood floors and multiple windows bringing in natural light. There is plenty of room to create distinct spaces for lounging and dining, while the open kitchen keeps everything connected. Warm wood cabinetry, generous counter space, stainless steel appliances, and a substantial island make the kitchen feel like a natural gathering place-equally suited to a quiet morning at home or having friends over for dinner. Toward the rear, both bedrooms enjoy a quieter setting overlooking the trees. Each has its own closet and direct access to the expansive private terrace, creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection that is particularly special for a Brooklyn apartment. Stretching nearly 20 feet wide, the terrace feels like a true extension of the home, with plenty of space for a full dining table, plants, lounging, and long summer evenings outside. The primary bathroom features a deep soaking tub with a glass enclosure, while a separate powder room adds everyday convenience. An in-unit washer and dryer and additional storage complete the home. Set within a handsome Brooklyn brownstone, Residence 2 has that rare combination of modern comfort and neighborhood character. It is polished without feeling precious, spacious without feeling impersonal, and finished with an outdoor space that makes everyday life here feel just a little more special. The neighborhood does plenty of the selling, too. Set between Malcolm X Boulevard and Patchen Avenue, the home is surrounded by some of Bed-Stuy's most loved local spots. Marion's is right down the block, along with a large neighborhood park with a playground, fields, and garden, while Passionfruit Coffee and Chez Alex are just around the corner. This is one of those pockets of Bed-Stuy where there is always somewhere good to go. Grab fries and burgers at Chez Oscar, chicken soup with hummus and pita at Dar25, settle in for an evening at L'Antagoniste, or catch live music at LunAtico. And when it's time to venture farther, the Gates Avenue J/Z is just a couple of avenues away, with the A/C also easily accessible. This is not an offering. The complete offering terms are in an offering plan available from the sponsor. File No. CD-180298
