About this House
Set on a quiet, tree-lined block in Boerum Hill, this impeccably restored 20-foot-wide brownstone offers nearly 3,600 square feet of elegant living space with six bedrooms, three baths, central air, and exceptional outdoor space, including a sun-filled terrace and private garden. Located in the heart of Brooklyn's Cultural District, it is moments from BAM, Barclays Center, Whole Foods, acclaimed restaurants, ten subway lines, and the LIRR. 548 State Street combines the serenity of brownstone living with the energy, culture, and convenience of one of Brooklyn's most vibrant neighborhoods.
Built in 1870, the home has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve its Italianate character while incorporating modern comforts. Original plank floors, soaring 12-foot ceilings, intricate plaster moldings, five wood-burning fireplaces with marble mantels, and pocket doors and shutters are complemented by central AC, sound-attenuating Marvin windows, abundant custom wood paneled closets, and a whole-house central vacuum system.
The light-filled parlor floor is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A spacious chef's kitchen overlooks the landscaped garden through a dramatic wall of windows and features marble countertops, extensive custom cabinetry, premium appliances, and direct access to the garden, creating an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living.
Upstairs, a private terrace off the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, while the beautifully landscaped garden below features mature plantings, a pergola, flowering trees, and multiple areas for dining, entertaining, or quiet relaxation.
The upper floors provide five generously proportioned bedrooms filled with natural light, including a serene primary suite with terrace access. A stained-glass skylight crowns the top floor, and two renovated bathrooms feature refined contemporary finishes, including a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and vented laundry.
The garden level offers exceptional flexibility as a guest apartment, family room, home office, or in-law suite. With its own entrance, bedroom, kitchenette, generous storage, and direct access to the garden, it adapts easily to a variety of needs. A full basement provides more than 900 square feet of additional storage, along with a second full-size vented washer and dryer.
Meticulously restored and thoughtfully updated, this exceptional historic brownstone is a rare rental opportunity combining timeless architecture, modern luxury, and an unbeatable Boerum Hill location.
