2.5 Bedroom Parlour and Third Floor Duplex with Yard There are apartments, and then there is 136 State Street #2: A parlour-and-third-floor duplex with 2.5 Bedrooms and 2 Baths within a 25-foot-wide landmarked brownstone, entered directly off the stoop, with ceilings of nearly 11 feet on the parlour level and… Read More 10 feet above — and a south-facing garden of over 1,000 square feet shaded by mature trees. It lives nothing like an apartment. The parlour level is extraordinary in its volume and proportion. Living and dining areas flow generously across the full width of the building, anchored by three oversized south-facing windows overlooking the garden. The kitchen is appointed with a Miele, Wolf, and Sub-Zero appliance package, custom cabinetry, and an exposed brick wall anchored by a 19th-century cooking hearth. Original marble mantels over decorative fireplaces remain throughout — pieces of the building's character, rarely found intact at this level. A full bath completes the floor. Upstairs, 10-foot ceilings continue the sense of scale — remarkable in a co-op, where height above the parlour level is almost never preserved. Two proper bedrooms — including a primary that comfortably accommodates a king-sized bed — are joined by a nursery and adjoining office that together can easily function as a third and fourth bedroom, offering genuine flexibility for how life actually unfolds. A second full bath and excellent storage throughout round out the upper level. The garden is the difference-maker. At over 1,050 square feet, south-facing, and open to the rear gardens of Brooklyn Heights, it draws full afternoon and evening light — and with running water and power, it delivers the kind of private outdoor living more commonly associated with a full townhouse. The home comes with built-in SONOS wiring throughout — indoor and out — so all you need to bring is an amp. The building also permits the installation of mini-splits, giving the next owner full control over climate zone by zone. With 25-foot width, stoop entry, soaring ceilings on both levels, and just four units in the building, 136 State Street #2 delivers everything a townhouse promises — with none of the compromise. One block from Atlantic Avenue, Trader Joe's, Sahadi's, and every subway line you need. The block itself is a quiet one — landmarked, tree-lined, and largely unhurried. But once you've seen the garden, you may not want to leave. Read Less
