269 State Street

269 State Street is a remarkable five story, modern, bright townhouse at the crossroads of Brooklyn Heights and Boerum Hill with five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a media room, play room and guest space, and expansive sun-lit entertaining spaces. Built in 2007 as one of the award winning 14 Townhouses, this home has been beautifully maintained and has received some wonderful updates and is in pristine condition. The facade of the home is red brick with cast stone and charcoal brick accents, and in its over 4,000 square feet combines dramatic, double-height entertaining space in an open plan layout with gracious family quarters. Daylight floods the interior through 9 foot south facing windows, a 20 foot north facing glass wall, and a huge skylight above the wood and steel stair.Entering through the garden level, there is an elegant dining room, an amazing huge Bulthaup kitchen, with a gorgeous honed Basaltina island, five burner Bosch range, two wall ovens, and a tremendous amount of storage. Adjacent to the kitchen is a stunning casual dining/sitting room with an upholstered built-in banquette and wall of custom storage. This comfortable room faces the garden with a double height wall of glass, and the 20 foot ceiling rising above. Sliding glass doors connect the landscaped backyard with the kitchen and dining room for outdoor dining and entertaining. On the parlor level there is a comfortable den/TV room and a gorgeous living room centered around the wood burning fireplace with custom stone mantel. This lovely room overlooks the sitting room below with exposure out to the garden where ten regal Hornbeam trees form the perfect backdrop for outdoor relaxing and entertaining. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en-suite) and a large laundry area are on the third floor. All bedrooms occupy either the south or north end of the home, with a bright wall of windows across the width, and are outfitted with custom built storage and built in desks. The master suite occupies the fourth floor, with an additional bedroom at the south side. A dressing area from the bedroom leads to the master bath, with its deep soaking tub, double vanity and Carrara marble throughout. The fifth floor is a multi-purpose penthouse room used as a custom built office and home gym, framed with walls of glass, and a huge skylight drawing light into the entire house, and two large terraces offering fantastic indoor/outdoor entertaining spaces. The basement, with nearly 9-foot ceilings, has been finished into an incredibly functional space, with a media/play room and separate guest bedroom. This historic block of State Street is an incredibly convenient location, near all major subway lines at Borough Hall and Jay Street/Metrotech, highly regarded restaurants and shops including Brooklyn Fare and Dekalb Market Hall, and all the new shopping, entertainment and dining destinations at City Point.
