Description

317 STATE STREET | BOERUM HILL

Set mid-block on a tree-lined stretch of Boerum Hill, 317 State Street is a turnkey two-family with all the character of Brownstone Brooklyn. It pairs a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath owner’s residence—featuring a private elevator, two roof terraces and a private garden—with a one-bedroom garden duplex. Built from the ground up in 2020, its brick façade features oversized, black-framed windows that draw southern light into the front of the house.

THE OWNER’S RESIDENCE | 4 BEDROOMS, 3.5 BATHS

The stoop leads through a glass-paneled front door onto the parlor floor, complete with wide-plank wood floors. The large front room combines everyday living, dining and entertaining spaces. Between the front room and the kitchen, a coat closet and a powder room in dark glazed tile, with a sculptural pedestal sink, sit discreetly out of the way.

In the kitchen, Italian-made Scavolini cabinetry in white flat-front and dark wood meets black Caesarstone quartz counters that rise into a full-height backsplash. Appliances include a Wolf range, a paneled refrigerator and a Sub-Zero dual-zone wine refrigerator, with additional pieces from Bosch and Fisher & Paykel. French doors open to a deck, with stairs down to a garden of pavers, lawn and a raised planting bed, enclosed by a fence and an ivy-covered back wall.

On the second floor, two full-width bedrooms sit at opposite ends of the house. Between them are a washer/dryer and two full baths finished in porcelain and mosaic tile, with frameless glass and lighted medicine cabinets. The front bedroom’s floor-to-ceiling window looks straight into the canopy of the front tree.

The third floor is anchored by the primary bedroom, with multiple closets and a bath designed as a wet room, where the tub and rain shower share one frameless glass enclosure. The bath adds a floating double vanity in dark wood and an enclosed water closet. A fourth bedroom at the rear works equally well as an office or den.

At the top of the house, a skylight crowns the stair. The sun room, with a wet bar and beverage refrigerator, opens to two terraces, front and back, screened by tall hedges in planters.

A curved stair in stained oak and black wrought iron rises through all four floors. The elevator serves each floor, bypassing the garden residence entirely, and continues to the lower level. There, the rear half of the basement, with its own access from the garden, works as a gym, storage or both.

THE GARDEN RESIDENCE | 1 BEDROOM, 1 BATH DUPLEX

Entered through the front garden, the garden residence opens into a south-facing living room. Its kitchen is outfitted with glossy white cabinetry, a waterfall-edge peninsula, Bertazzoni appliances and a dishwasher. At the rear, the bedroom with two closets sits beside a full bath with a floating wood vanity and chevron mosaic tile. An interior stair leads down to the front half of the lower level, a flexible room for media, work or fitness, with its own washer/dryer. Currently leased, the residence offers income from day one.
