Monroe

The Monroe is designed to feel like an escape from the city. Its footprint is optimized for narrow lots, yet the interior utilizes wide corridors and significant glazing to ensure every room feels bright and expansive. It is a home that balances the need for social connection with the necessity of private retreats.

The Social and Functional Ground Floor The main level is dedicated to effortless entertaining and daily organization:

• The Social Core: A generous open-concept living space is encased by windows and sliding glass doors, capturing natural breezes and light. This area flows directly onto a covered back patio, perfect for private urban gardening or outdoor dining.

• The Entertainer’s Kitchen: Features a functional walk-in pantry and a central island with barstool seating, serving as the household's social anchor.

• Flexible Accommodation: A bedroom is positioned at the front of the home, providing the perfect secluded spot for a guest suite or a professional home office.

• Practical Utility: The back hall leads to an oversized 2-car garage with significant storage potential and an optional mudroom—keeping the home's entryways clean and organized.

Upper-Level Family Haven The second floor serves as a multi-functional quiet zone for the entire family:

• The Primary Retreat: Tucked away at the rear for absolute privacy, the primary suite is a luxury haven featuring a spa-like ensuite and the rare benefit of two separate walk-in closets.

• Shared Living: A central bonus room provides a secondary living area, ideal for a media lounge, playroom, or library.

• The Kids' Wing: Two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed central hall bathroom, keeping the family together while maintaining individual privacy.

Customized for Your Future The Monroe’s potential is further extended by an optional basement, which can be completely customized to include a home gym, theater, or additional guest quarters. As with every G.J. Gardner design, our Design Centers are ready to tailor the Monroe to perfectly align with your specific lifestyle and site requirements.
