Property Description for 265 State Street, PH-04

Penthouse Four at The Boerum is a rare townhouse in the sky—an exceptional four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence spanning 2,349 square feet, with soaring ceilings, extraordinary natural light, and 1,600 square feet of private outdoor space. Perched at the very top of the building, this northwest corner penthouse is filled with light throughout the day. Expansive windows frame open city and harbor views, while the western exposure captures spectacular sunsets over the Manhattan skyline. The home has a wonderful sense of scale and flow, with high ceilings, beautifully proportioned rooms, and natural light moving through the residence throughout the day. The great room anchors the home, with dramatic corner windows and an effortless connection to the dining area and kitchen—equally suited to quiet everyday living or entertaining. Then, in true townhouse fashion, a beautiful staircase leads you upstairs to an extraordinary private rooftop retreat: 1,600 square feet of outdoor space surrounded by a living green wall and open views across New York City. This is outdoor living on a completely different scale. There is room to dine, entertain, garden, lounge in the sun, enjoy a quiet morning coffee, or gather with friends as the sun sets behind the Manhattan skyline. Tucked into the terrace is a private windowed office—a wonderfully unexpected space above the city. Whether used for writing, reading, creative work, or simply as a quiet place to think, it offers an inspiring setting just steps from the garden. Back inside, the primary suite is tucked away down a private corridor, creating a peaceful retreat with sweeping views across Manhattan and the harbor to the Statue of Liberty. A striking green library, painted in a shade reminiscent of Lady Liberty herself, beautifully frames the iconic view beyond. Three additional bedrooms, beautifully appointed baths, and thoughtful spaces throughout complete a home that feels both expansive and intimate—a true townhouse experience high above Brooklyn. All of this sits in the heart of Boerum Hill, surrounded by Brooklyn’s beautiful brownstone neighborhoods, acclaimed restaurants, shopping, parks, and exceptional transportation. Private parking located on the building’s second floor—just an elevator ride away—is available for purchase separately. A private storage unit is also available for purchase separately.

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.
