Description

A STATELY TOWNHOME ON STATE STREET, READY FOR ITS NEXT HISTORIC CHAPTER

138 State Street, located in the Brooklyn Heights Historic District, is a classic turn-of-the-century brick & brownstone townhouse. This 25' wide home offers 5,625 sq.ft. across its 5 stories, plus a basement, providing the opportunity to create a house that fits your own personal needs and aesthetic. A single-family currently used as a 2-family, 138 State Street has great bones, with spacious rooms (8 bedrooms in all!) and high ceilings on all five floors (ranging from almost 9 ft. to over 11 ft. tall).

The home offers 4 full baths + powder room, ducted central air conditioning, full-size W/D on the garden level + windowed laundry room on the 4th floor, and a charming brick European-style rear patio, serene & private. Other remarkable features include oversized arched doorways with custom etched glass at the parlor-level entrance, original plaster moldings, beamed ceilings on the garden and top floors, 7 fireplaces (six are wood-burning!), many of which have extraordinary marble mantelpieces, and a stunning fully intact wooden banister that spirals up all five floors.

Perhaps the house's most unique offering is its top floor. Ascend the gorgeous staircase while sunshine pours in from the overhead skylight, into a tremendous great room facing onto State Street. The first thing you'll notice is the soaring wood-beamed ceilings, 11 ft. tall, and a wood burning fireplace set into a wall of exposed brick. This front room features three windows across, with treetop neighborhood views. Just imagine what an amazing art or writing studio this would make, or perhaps game or media room, or a huge warm & inviting home office. The rear of this floor features a spacious and bright bedroom with 9 ft. tall ceilings, and a full bath. Finally, the graceful staircase continues up to a bulkhead leading out onto the roof, where you'll find sweeping Manhattan and Brooklyn views. Previously filed plans enable you to envision the roof deck of your dreams, to be custom-designed and built out as you wish!

138 State Street is a solid and stately townhome, ready for you to make your own. Its location is perfectly situated to provide the best of Brooklyn Heights and neighboring Cobble Hill, including easy access to Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Promenade, Van Voorhees Playground, and Cobble Hill Park. You'll also find ample cafes, eateries, and shopping all around, including along Court Street, Atlantic Avenue, and Montague Street. Transportation options abound, and Trader Joe's is just 2 blocks away. What more could you ask for?
