160 State Street

160 State Street: a magnificent landmarked 25 ft wide townhouse in the heart of Brooklyn Heights. This historic home has been owned and cared for by the same family for over 50 years. Sited on a 25' x 95' lot it retains many of its original details: marble mantels, hardwood flooring, exposed brick, and tasteful crown moldings and has six bedrooms, two full and two half-baths across four floors, and a tranquil southern garden. Garden Floor: The lower level of the home provides two very spacious rooms ideal for a home office, gym, or separate dwelling. Each room has a fireplace, with a walk-in closet between them. The larger living area opens onto the sizeable rear garden (25 x 55). There is also a half-bath on this level. Parlor Floor: Step into an inviting entryway. The stunning parlor room sits immediately to the left of the gallery. With crown moldings, a striking marble mantel, and high ceilings, you will love unwinding and entertaining in this grand room overlooking quiet State Street. An unassuming door leads directly into the large eat-in kitchen that overlooks the garden, and is graced with another gorgeous mantel. Second Floor: As you walk up the original switchback staircase, you are greeted with a sweet, bright corner sitting area, perfect for a desk, chaise longue, or your favorite plants. Enter into the airy master bedroom, which is drenched in Southern light, has two large closets, and is adorned with a brick fireplace. The bright, spacious second bedroom is currently used as a charming study with custom built-in bookshelves and another marble mantel fireplace. Tucked away next door is a third smaller bedroom or office. There is an updated bathroom on this floor with a subway-tiled shower and five closets total. Third Floor: The top floor of the house has a full bathroom and three bedrooms, two of which have beautiful exposed brick and fireplaces. There is a walk-in closet adjacent to the third bedroom, and another sitting area at the top of the stairwell. There is also a pitched attic space above that could be reclaimed to create a dramatic lofty top floor with 12ft ceilings. This is a wonderful opportunity to own an exceptionally large (25 ft wide), centrally located, fabulous house with outdoor space and plenty of detail in Brooklyn Heights. 160 State Street is close to transportation, grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping, and is awaiting your touch to make it your own!
