Warm and wonderful 3 bedroom, 2 bath home on a quiet, tree-lined Queen Village block—the perfect combination of a serene residential feel just steps from a popular commercial corridor (99 WalkScore!). Superb restaurants, shops, and services. Lovely character including exposed brick, high ceilings, and a rear patio that offers a quiet, courtyard atmosphere. Hardwood floors. Great light throughout. Central air. Ample storage. A+ Location. Meredith School Catchment.

Enter into an open 1st floor with living area and a small dining area plus a spacious kitchen with island and two-person breakfast bar. South facing glass doors open to a serene outdoor deck / patio in a quiet courtyard setting. You may ask whether you are in Paris or Queen Village. Either way, it is a beautiful spot.

Hardwood stairs lead up to the 2nd floor, which offers new wide plank wood flooring. The front bedroom has exposed brick, a nice closet, ceiling fan, and two large windows overlooking the lush trees of Monroe Street. The rear bedroom (or office or nursery) has exposed brick, a ceiling fan, and a south facing window. There is a modern full bath in the hallway.

A wall of frosted glass and a new solid wood door delineate the primary suite, which encompasses the entire 3rd floor—Exposed brick, high ceilings, wood floors, ceiling fan, and a large closet highlight this capacious space. Tons of light from the two large windows overlooking Monroe as well as the south-facing glass block and additional window featured in the open concept primary bath. The bath has a large frameless shower, Whirlpool tub, and large granite top vanity. Exposed bricks completes this tastefully eclectic style. If preferred, this bathroom can be readily converted to a more private concept with frosted glass along the stairs (and stair shower panel) to the ceiling along with a door. This 3rd floor simply offers superb space—whether as-is or transformed.

A dry basement offers washer & dryer, storage, and mechanicals.

408 Monroe is a bright and comfortable home with charm and a superb location—on a quiet, tree-lined block in the Meredith School Catchment.
