This Is Brooklyn Brownstone Living
169 State Street is a prime example of understated mid 19th century Italianate design...located in the most convenient pocket of Brooklyn Heights.
As soon as you step through the blue door, you realize you have entered into a special home...beautifully proportioned rooms, eleven foot ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, classic white marble fireplaces with bold ornamentation, and the sweep of a curved central staircase.
The double parlor floor is set up as a spacious front Living Room, and a rear Library with a wall of custom built-in shelving. The rooms can be separated by original pocket doors.
The upper two floors have four large Bedrooms, each with a fireplace, and three Bathrooms. The primary bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. The bathrooms are beautifully renovated, or perfectly restored and vintage in style. An oval skylight above the stairs allows for a column of light to filter through the center of the house.
The Garden Floor has a separate entrance, Half Bath, Dining Room, and oversize eat-in Kitchen with Viking and Bosch appliances. A glass wall looks out onto a private back yard with a flagstone Terrace and Garden beyond.
The finished Basement has walls of built-in storage. The main room is perfect for a media, gym, or play area.
New windows, shutters on all windows, central air conditioning, and security system.
This is without doubt one of the most charming, authentic, and comfortable homes on the market today.
