House of the Day: 291 State Street
There’s certainly something to the broker’s description of 291 State Street in Boerum Hill as being a “time capsule.” In addition to the requisite moldings and other details, the 3,024-square-foot brownstone is furnished (and wallpapered!) straight out of the high Victorian era.

There’s certainly something to the broker’s description of 291 State Street in Boerum Hill as being a “time capsule.” In addition to the requisite moldings and other details, the 3,024-square-foot brownstone is furnished (and wallpapered!) straight out of the high Victorian era. This place also has the distinction of abutting the 14 new townhouses that were recently built on State Street. Asking price: $2,100,000. Would have been a lay-up a year ago, still not insane today.

Nokilissa is a SNOB. She’s probably a worthless stay at home moms who’s husband is a wall street douche
Also, as for the use of the name, I beleive there is some evidence that it was used in the 1700’s and 1800’s, (although it is disputed as to how commonly it was used and to what area it exactly described), but by the 1930s or 40’s it had fallen out of use only to be given new life as part of realtor speak to re-gentrify the neighborhood in the 1970’s.
wasder…I go to the little Mexican store down the street and across from that coffee shop for tamales…They are homemade…I take them home and freeze them. They’re great. Get the pork ones.
This is BoCoCaNo at best guys.
Noki,

Sorry, should have said “3 blocks further East”. I’m compass-challenged.
That was a truly beautiful find THL. Geez, am I wrong on this one too?
Was “hone in” always with us? I thought it was “home in”, as in homing pigeons…
I think I’m writing Mr. Safire.
