Welcome to 485 Monroe Street, a thoughtfully gut-renovated and lovingly maintained single-family townhouse in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Built circa 1907, this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home pairs the character of a Brooklyn townhouse with carefully considered updates for comfortable everyday living. With approximately 2,307 square feet of total interior space across the parlor floor, upper floor and lower level, the home offers room to gather, unwind and make it your own. The approximately 48ft long, open-concept parlor floor creates a welcoming setting for everything from quiet mornings to dinners with friends. The white oak wood floors and banisters have been professionally refinished, bringing warmth throughout the home. The kitchen features a Calacatta marble waterfall island and countertops, custom cabinetry, and high-end Italian appliances. Further still, the living room features a wall of floor to ceiling glass bringing in amazing natural light. When it's time for privacy, simply use the custom motorized shades and drapes from the Shade Store which offer convenient phone controls and programmable timers. Through the glass French doors, the backyard offers a private retreat with pet-safe turf, a planted raised garden bed and mature rose bushes. Whether enjoying your morning coffee, tending the garden or grilling outdoors, it offers a lovely extension of the home's living space. Upstairs, three bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests and/or a home office. The primary bedroom has three large windows bringing ample sunlight and includes four custom closets from California Closets. The en-suite bathroom features a double vanity, marble penny tiles, and a large rain shower. The guest room offers an extra large custom closet for additional storage and an en-suite bathroom with rain shower and full bathtub. Both full bathrooms feature heated floors-a welcome comfort on chilly mornings-and the powder room includes a Japanese-style toilet. Recent improvements reflect the care invested in the property. According to the owner, the roof was replaced approximately three years ago, including new support beams, with roughly 17 years remaining on its labor and materials warranty.

Additional improvements include a French drain at the lower-level exterior entrance, an alarm system with door, window and glass-break sensors, and a lower-level privacy gate and window bars.
