While this unit in The Monroe is listed as a 1-bedroom, it’s configured as a 2-bedroom. The primary bedroom is huge, with a big double window facing the garden. (It’s got double closets, too!) And translucent sliding doors cut the living/dining area in half to make bedroom number two. Take them out if you prefer a big, open-concept space — but they’re beautiful! The custom kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. Reach out to a StreetEasy Expert on the listing for more.
