277 State Street -- at the crossroads of Brooklyn Heights and Boerum Hill -- is a remarkable five story, modern, bright townhouse with five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a media room and home gym, and expansive sun-lit entertaining spaces. Built in 2007 as one of the award winning 14 Townhouses, this home has been beautifully maintained and has received some wonderful updates.  The facade of the home is red brick with cast stone and charcoal brick accents, and in its over 4,000square feet combines dramatic, double-height entertaining space in an open plan layout with gracious family quarters. Daylight floods the interior through 9 foot south facing windows, a 20 foot north facing glass wall, and an 8 foot wide skylight above a custom wood and steel stair. Entering through the garden level, there is a stone floor entrance and spacious coat closet, a full bathroom and south-facing study or guest room.  Most of this garden level is devoted to the amazing huge Bulthaup kitchen, with a gorgeous honed Basaltina island, five burner Bosch range, two wall ovens, and a tremendous amount of storage. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room faces the garden with a double height wall of glass, and the 20 foot ceiling rising above.  Sliding glass doors connect the landscaped backyard with the kitchen and dining room for outdoor dining and entertaining. Upstairs, the parlor floor is a gracious, open space with two seating areas, a modern wood burning fireplace, and a glass railing overlooking the dining room below and garden.  Two bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en-suite) and a large laundry area are on the third floor.  All bedrooms occupy either the south or north end of the home, with a bright wall of windows across the width.  The master suite occupies the fourth floor, with an additional bedroom at the south side.  A dressing area from the bedroom leads to the master bath, with its deep soaking tub and double vanity and Carrara marble throughout.  The fifth floor is a multi-purpose penthouse room framed with walls of glass, with a huge skylight drawing light into the entire house, and two large terraces offering fantastic indoor/outdoor entertaining spaces. The basement, with nearly 9-foot ceilings, has been finished into an incredibly functional space, with a media room designed with modern bunk beds for kids or overflow guests, tons of built-in storage, and a separate home gym.This historic block of State Street is an incredibly convenient location, near all major subway lines at Borough Hall and Jay Street/Metrotech, highly regarded restaurants and shops including Brooklyn Fare and Dekalb Market Hall, and all the new shopping, entertainment and dining destinations at City Point.
