Adjacent to the garden level family room is a wonderful home office that can be closed off with pocket doors, and a very private guest suite with its own full bathroom. There?s an additional full bath with shower on this floor, and tons of thoughtfully designed storage. The third and fourth floors provide four generous bedrooms with walk-in dressing rooms, along with two smaller rooms for home offices or twin bedrooms. The main bedroom suite features a huge steam shower and soaking tub. The amazing fifth floor is drenched in sunlight through multiple skylights, and three French doors with Juliet balconies facing south over the treetops. This lofty space is currently used as an office area, sitting room and sleeping area with sky-lit full bath, and can easily be customized for a variety of uses. The clean cellar has plenty of storage areas and room for a wine cellar. The home?s mechanical systems, including multi-zone central air conditioning, are in excellent condition.
126 State Street sits at the southern end of Sidney Place ? with a very rare open exposure from the front living room and bedrooms, and the most fantastic destination shops and restaurants on Atlantic Avenue and Court Street are moments away.
Quick Profile
Brooklyn Heights was Manhattan’s first suburb. The Brooklyn Bridge is a neighborhood draw, offering some of the most beautiful views of the Manhattan skyline, as well as an easily walkable means of commuting into the City. Montague Street has been the main commercial street in Brooklyn Heights since the 1800s, but it is not overly commercialized. Smaller shops help maintain the small neighborhood feel of Brooklyn Heights.
The quaint cobblestoned side streets highlight the historic feel to this lovely, vibrant neighborhood that is filled with exciting and innovative restaurants, stores that have those perfect home decor items, that little black dress you love, and your favorite dry cleaner is right around the corner. Brooklyn Heights is your perfect city within the City.
There are apartments, condos, and co-ops that resulted from the conversion of pre-war residential hotels. The townhouses in Brooklyn Heights are often five stories, instead of the three stories found elsewhere. You’ll also find row houses and stunning single family mansions. Due to the three protected historic districts, opportunities for new construction are limited, and the appearance of the neighborhood seems frozen in the era when these buildings were originally constructed.
Renowned public and private schools make the neighborhood attractive to young families with school-age children. The neighborhood is generally “kid-friendly,” with parks, playgrounds, and quiet streets where kids can still play safely.
