The landmarked brick townhouse at 306 State Street is a rare 25-foot-wide home built in the Greek Revival and Italianate styles on the same Boerum Hill block as the notable 9 Townhouses row. The 1847 townhouse, asking $6,250,000, was thoroughly renovated in 2004. The six-bedroom home is currently configured as a two-family dwelling with a spacious garden flat, but can easily be converted to an oversized single-family residence. While historic details have been preserved, peerless additions like a glass solarium and a deVol kitchen make it a 21st-century standout.
Throughout the home, you’ll find six fireplaces–three wood-burning and three gas–for timeless warmth. Central A/C has been installed for contemporary comfort.
The parlor level has all of the classic elegance you’d expect beneath high ceilings, highlighted by crown moldings, graceful arches, and solid wood floors. At the rear of this floor is a dramatic south-facing glass solarium for the feel of an indoor garden.
A hand-crafted deVOL kitchen was installed in 2023, complete with a vented La Cornue range, exemplifying the modern English farmhouse style. Two sets of French doors open from the sunroom onto a deck with stairs that lead to the verdant rear garden.
On the third floor are three additional bedrooms. The home’s entire top floor is devoted to an indulgent primary suite. The main chamber is paired with a second bedroom or home office, both with ensuite baths. There is a convenient laundry room on this floor as well.
The garden level holds a one-bedroom duplex rental apartment. A living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a dining room, and a lower-level den offer plenty of space. There is another washer/dryer for tenant use, and direct access to the back garden.
