Sales Launch at New-Old Townhouses in Boerum Hill Starting at $4.1 Million

The scaffolding has come down on the exterior and the first two of seven brand new neo-traditional townhouses at 345-353 State Street in Boerum Hill are on the market. The exteriors are neo-Georgian, and now the listings reveal neo-traditional interiors to match, as well as elevators, green building features, and parking.

The developers are IBEC and Strategic Development Corp. and the architect of record is Steven F. Levine Architect. The townhouse at 349 State Street is a single family configuration asking $4,100,000. The townhouse at 349 A is a two-family and is priced at $4,300,000.

The interiors blend traditional design with contemporary features. For example, there are traditional stone fireplace mantels as well as a great room with a double-height ceiling. There are two terraces on the roof of the one-family house with something called a “sky lounge” in between them.

The kitchens have subway tile and Shaker-style cupboard doors, tray ceilings, and huge multi-paned windows. The houses are LEED-certified and were constructed using ICF reinforced concrete for strong insulation and sound proofing. The dirt in the gardens was replaced with clean soil, according to the listing.

When we checked in last May, windows were going in. Cara Greenberg of CASAcara recently snapped the photo below that shows the brick and brownstone facades with their multi-paned windows are complete on all seven buildings, and the scaffolding has finally come down.

The interiors are more traditional looking than most new-construction row houses in Brooklyn, even those featuring traditional exteriors. The fireplaces, long windows and kitchens are reminiscent of what buyers would find in renovated 19th century brownstones.

We anticipate some critics might find some aspects of the design kitschy (but certainly no more so than, say, a 1930s Tudor house). We also think buyers will lap it up.

What do you think of the design inside and out?
