At the crossroads of Clinton Hill and Bed-Stuy, the surroundings offer a rare blend of tranquility and vibrant neighborhood living. Gut-renovated in 2023, with the highest standard of design and sustainability, 42 Monroe is a 2-family home with a layout that can easily be adapted if you prefer a grand single-family home. Currently set up as an owner's duplex over a garden rental, both units are thoughtfully designed with a cohesive aesthetic, creating a seamless sense of refinement throughout the home. Sunlight pours through new, oversized double-hung windows on every floor. Each unit features wide-plank FloorScore certified wood flooring, recessed lighting, and Mitsubishi split A/C systems. The open kitchens are fitted with premium Samsung appliances, sleek cabinetry, and natural soapstone countertops and backsplash. Spa-inspired bathrooms feature Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, terrazzo floors, and fluted porcelain tilework, and LG washer/dryers. Both units have their own private outdoor space with an 8' high fence and plenty of space to grill, relax, or entertain. The garden-level unit opens directly to the backyard while the duplex connects via a staircase off the parlor-floor kitchen. Monroe Street embodies classic Brooklyn charm, with rows of historic brownstones, mature trees, and a true neighborhood feel. The A/C and G trains are minutes away. Local staples like Saraghina, Place des Fêtes, Locanda Vini & Olii, Speedy Romeo's, Fan Fan Doughnuts and Clementine Bakery are just around the corner. Whether you’re an end-user looking for flexibility, or an investor who knows the value of prime location and smart layout, this is an exceptional turnkey opportunity. Currently leased through February 2027, the property generates $10,825 per month in gross rental income. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Duplex - **Beds**: 4 - **Baths**: 2 - **Rooms**: 7 - **Sqft**: 2,300 sqft - **Stories**: 2 - **Year Built**: 1899 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,141 - **Monthly Taxes**: $643 / mo - **Listed On**: May 28, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 109 Days ### Residence Features - Central Air - Central - In Unit - See Remarks - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - Private Yard - Breakfast Bar - High Ceilings - Dryer - Washer - Hardwood - Garden ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 2 apartments at 42 Monroe Street have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $2,625,000 in August 2026.

We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one. Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls. Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3019870031. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
