About This Property
62 State Street is an exceptional 25-foot-wide Greek Revival townhouse in the heart of Brooklyn Heights, one of New York City's most prestigious and historic neighborhoods. Spanning four full floors with 15 generously proportioned rooms, the home offers the rare scale and volume sought after for sophisticated urban living. Its uncommon width allows for expansive, light-filled interiors, enhanced by soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and beautifully preserved architectural details.
The elegant parlor level is designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable everyday living, featuring multiple fireplaces and oversized windows overlooking the picturesque, tree-lined street. A thoughtfully designed kitchen is complemented by an adjoining breakfast room, while modern comforts include multi-zone central air conditioning throughout.
This legal two-family residence is currently arranged as a spacious owner's triplex above a private garden apartment. The owner's residence includes five bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, and direct access to every outdoor space. The garden-level apartment, with one bedroom and one bathroom, offers excellent flexibility as an income-producing rental, guest suite, or private accommodation.
Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a deep, tranquil landscaped garden ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining, as well as an upper terrace and private balcony that provide additional opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
Perfectly positioned just moments from the waterfront promenades and world-class amenities of Brooklyn Bridge Park, the home is also a short stroll from the acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, and cafés of Atlantic Avenue and Court Street. Convenient access to multiple subway lines provides seamless connectivity to Manhattan and the rest of New York City.
Combining authentic Greek Revival architecture with remarkable scale, modern amenities, and exceptional privacy, 162 State Street presents a rare opportunity to own one of Brooklyn Heights' most distinguished townhouse residences.
In addition, the new owner has the ability to increase the size of the building by a minimum of 1,800 square feet.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
Four floors, a deep landscaped garden, and a terrace are already in place at 162 State Street, and the garden level works as its own apartment. That makes it usable as a rental, a guest suite, or private space, depending on what the household needs.
The parlor level is where the house is built to entertain. It has multiple fireplaces and oversized windows over a tree-lined street. The kitchen opens to an adjoining breakfast room, which gives everyday cooking and eating a room of their own.
The garden is the main outdoor space. It's described as landscaped and suited to dining and entertaining, and with a terrace and a balcony too, you have more than one place to be outside. A private garden in the city is a real asset, and this one comes with the house.
Four floors means stairs are part of daily life. The trade-off is real separation between levels, and the garden apartment has its own space apart from the main house.
Borough Hall is about 6 minutes on foot, with the 2, 3, 4, 5 and R trains. Columbus Park is about 5 minutes away. Key Food and Sahadi's are each about a minute from the door, and Damascus Bread & Bakery is about a minute too.
Trader Joe's is about 2 minutes away.
