About This Home

Welcome to 540 State Street, a classic Brooklyn townhouse on a historic, tree-lined street in Boerum Hill. This four story, 20' wide, 1899 brownstone retains much of its original grandeur, with 11' ceilings, matching carved marble fireplaces, and plaster details. The large south facing garden is the hidden jewel of this fantastic property.

Spanning 3,280sf of interior space over ten rooms, the residence is currently configured with five bedrooms, three baths, and a spacious kitchen/dining ground level which opens onto a 20'x 36' backyard. In addition, there is a separate laundry room, and lots of possibilities for private work from home spaces.

Over recent years the house has had many upgrades: new boiler, hot water heater, roof/chimney repairs and the installation of a splitter AC system. The house is currently configured as a single-family home, but is legally designated as a 2-family, providing the option for an income generating rental unit.

Situated at the intersection of Boerum Hill/Fort Greene/Park Slope/Downtown Brooklyn, 540 State Street has easy access to one of the best cultural and transportation hubs in all of New York City. Whether it is play at BAM, an event at Barclays Center, the Fort Greene Farmers Market on Saturday, a trip to the Apple Store, Trader Joes and Whole Foods, or the LIRR to the beach, nothing is very far away.
