Property Description for 285 State Street

Introducing 285 State Street - a modern and expansive Boerum Hill townhouse offering five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a penthouse room flanked by north and south terraces, a lovely garden and patio, and a massive basement with a rec room and tons of storage. Built in 2007 as one of the award-winning 14 Townhouses with over 4,000 square feet, this home features dramatic, double-height entertaining space in an open plan layout. 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.
The garden level is the heart of the home with an amazing 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 dining/sitting room facing the garden with a double height wall of glass, and the 20 foot-high ceiling rising above. Accordian glass doors open fully to connect the landscaped backyard to the kitchen and dining room for outdoor dining and entertaining. At the front of the garden level is an entranceway with excellent storage, and a first-floor bedroom and full bath, perfect for guests or a home office.
On the parlor level there is a comfortable den/TV room and a gorgeous living room centered around the wood burning fireplace. This lovely room overlooks the dining room below with exposure out to the garden.
The third floor features two large bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en-suite) and a dedicated laundry area. The primary suite is on the fourth floor and includes a dressing room leading to the elegant bath with deep soaking tub, double vanity, walk in shower and Carrara marble throughout. An additional bedroom on this floor has been customized with a built-in desk, seating and storage. The fifth floor is a multi-purpose penthouse room, framed with walls of glass, a huge skylight illuminating the entire house, and two large terraces offering fantastic indoor/outdoor entertaining spaces. The basement, with nearly 9-foot ceilings, has a rec room area and room for a ping pong table and abundant storage.
This historic block of State Street is an incredibly convenient location, at the crossroads of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill and Downtown Brooklyn, near all major subway lines at Borough Hall and Jay Street/Metrotech, popular restaurants including French Louie, Bacchus, Grand Army, Gage & Tollner and Dekalb Market Hall, and all of the shopping, entertainment and dining destinations at City Point, Smith Street and Atlantic Avenue.

Boerum Hill | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Boerum Hill is a tiny, quiet, primarily residential neighborhood in Brooklyn. There are broad tree-lined streets that are filled with elegant three and four-story brownstones and townhouses, mostly built between 1840 and 1870. There is a definite family vibe to the neighborhood, but young professionals are moving in, and with them are coming trendy bars to cater to their desire for some measure of nightlife, without having to linger in Manhattan. These new bars and restaurants are being sandwiched in amongst existing shops on both Atlantic Avenue and Smith Street, which are the main commercial areas in Boerum Hill. 

Boerum Hill offers a convenient location that is still able to maintain its small-neighborhood feel. Shopkeepers value their customers and remember their regulars. It continues to do what it was designed to do, namely provide small-town living in the very shadow of the big city. Boerum Hill is an easy commute to other parts of the city, making it easy to come home every day to the peace and tranquility of Boerum Hill while commuting to a job anywhere in the city.

The neighborhood is quite walkable and you can take the time to catch up with your neighbors while visiting on their stoops. Shopping on Atlantic Avenue is stress-free with no high pressure. You can meet with friends at any of the many coffee shops and while away pleasant hours in conversation. The dining scene on Smith Street is similarly laid-back. Don’t expect that there will be quite as much to see or do as there is in Manhattan, but there are a decent number of interesting bars and restaurants providing a measure of nightlife. The trade-off is worth it, as Boerum Hill provides a quiet, peaceful place to live and raise a family.
