2.5 Chumba cha Kulala na Duplex ya Ghorofa ya Tatu yenye Uwanja

Kuna vyumba vya kuishi, na kisha kuna 136 State Street #2: Duplex ya ghorofa ya kwanza na ya tatu yenye Vyumba 2.5 na Bafu 2 ndani ya jengo la brownstone lenye urefu wa futi 25, linaloingia moja kwa moja kutoka kwenye hatua, likiwa na dari za karibu futi 11 kwenye ngazi ya parlour na futi 10 juu — na bustani inayotazama kusini yenye zaidi ya squaure 1,000 iliyofichwa na miti iliyokomaa. Hali yake ya kuishi haitofautiani na ya nyumba ya kupanga.
Ngazi ya parlour ni ya ajabu kutokana na saizi yake na uwiano. Eneo la kuishi na kula linapitisha kwa ukarimu kupitia upana wote wa jengo, likidhaminiwa na madirisha matatu makubwa yanayotazama kusini yanayoungana na bustani. Jiko limepewa vifaa vya Miele, Wolf, na Sub-Zero, kabati maalum, na ukuta wa tofari ulio wazi ulio na tanuru ya kupikia ya karne ya 19. Kichoma cha marumaru asilia juu ya mitungi ya mapambo kinabaki kila mahali — vipande vya tabia ya jengo, ambavyo kwa nadra hupatikana bila kuharibiwa katika kiwango hiki. Bafu kamili inakamilisha ngazi hii.
Juu, dari za futi 10 zinaendelea kuhisi ukubwa — jambo la kushangaza katika ushirika, ambapo urefu juu ya ngazi ya parlour karibu kamwe hauhifadhiwi. Vyumba viwili sahihi vya kulala — ikiwa ni pamoja na chumba kikuu ambacho kinakomaa kwa urahisi kitanda cha mfalme — vinungwana na chumba cha watoto na ofisi inayopakana ambayo pamoja vinaweza kwa urahisi kufanya kazi kama chumba cha tatu na cha nne, na kutoa urahisi wa kweli katika jinsi maisha yanavyoendelea. Bafu nyingine kamili na uhifadhi mzuri kila mahali inakamilisha ngazi ya juu.
Bustani ndiyo tofauti. Katika zaidi ya squaure 1,050, inayoelekea kusini, na ikiwa wazi kwa bustani za nyuma za Brooklyn Heights, inapata mwangaza wa mchana na jioni — na ikiwa na maji yanayotiririka na umeme, inatoa aina ya maisha ya nje ya faragha ambayo kwa kawaida huunganishwa na nyumba kamili. Nyumba inakuja na wiring ya SONOS iliyojengwa kila mahali — ndani na nje — hivyo unachohitaji kuleta ni amplifaya. Jengo pia linaruhusu usakinishaji wa mini-splits, likimpa mmiliki mpya udhibiti kamili wa hali ya hewa katika maeneo tofauti.
Ikiwa na upana wa futi 25, ingilio la hatua, dari zinazopanda kwenye pande zote mbili, na vitengo vinne tu ndani ya jengo, 136 State Street #2 inatoa kila kitu ambacho nyumba ya mtaa inahidi — bila makubaliano yoyote.
Blok moja kutoka Atlantic Avenue, Trader Joe's, Sahadi's, na kila laini ya subway unayohitaji. Blok yenyewe ni tulivu — iliyoandikwa, iliyojaa miti, na kwa kiasi kikubwa bila haraka. Lakini mara baada ya kuona bustani, huenda usipende kuondoka.

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 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.
