Brooklyn mansion listed for $20.99 million after decade-long reconstruction
The 1852 Greek Revival home and a renovated carriage house are being marketed together as Monroe Place Estates in New York City.
A developer has listed a reconstructed 1852 Greek Revival mansion and an adjoining carriage house in Brooklyn Heights for a combined $20.99 million, according to the Times of India, citing a report by the New York Post.
The properties, marketed as Monroe Place Estates, include the 1852 mansion listed at $14.99 million and the renovated carriage house asking $6 million. The two buildings are legally and physically separate but share a wall.
The mansion at 1 Monroe Place was declared structurally unsound by the NYC Department of Buildings in 2008. Developer Margaret Streicker purchased the wrecked properties for $1.25 million in cash in 2010 after a court dismissed a suit to block a full teardown.
The reconstruction, handled by NV Design Architecture, took almost a decade. The project began in 2016 and ran until 2026, involving the recreation of masonry and woodwork using historic photographs and archival records.
The five-storey mansion covers approximately 7,200 square feet and features seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and four powder rooms. It includes a chef’s kitchen, an elevator, a wine cellar, and a primary suite with a gym.
The carriage house at 94 Clark Street is a three-storey building spanning about 2,100 square feet. It contains three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms with a skylit kitchen.
