It seems like only two weeks ago that we were discussing the $2.4 million price tag on the four-bedroom pre-war co-op at 24 Monroe Place. Ohyeah, it was. In a sign that Brooklyn Heights is not impervious to the effects of a declining real estate market, the asking price has just been reduced almost 20 percent to $1,950,000. As we look at the floorplan, it occurs to us that buyers in this price range are probably aren’t too psyched about having a galley kitchen. The other negative: The fourth bedroom is a small “maid’s room” at the rear of the apartment, hardly a great spot to stash the newborn. Still, gorgeous apartment, blue-chip building, great location. We shall see.
