As the old saying goes-location, location, location. Centrally located at the apex of four prime Downtown Brooklyn neighborhoods and the Atlantic Center Terminal transportation hub-a commuter dream, this expansive 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath duplex condo is situated in a historical yet modern residence made up of 39 homes enclosing a vast 5900 sqft common courtyard. 560 State Street was built c1900, renovated in 2005, and mentioned in a Grammy Award winning song in 2011! This 1365 sqft home is a beautiful synthesis between avant garde and industrial design with its near 10 ft high ceilings, sprawling windows with seat suitable window sills, original hardwood floors, an exposed brick wall, abundant closet space, intricate light fixtures, asymmetrical layout, and entry and egress points on both levels, providing a creative yet functional palette for you to furnish as your vision sees fit. Entering the bright and airy main level, you will find a hall closet and marble-tiled floor guest half bath on the right, and on the left-a seamlessly designed kitchen with white laminate cabinetry, marble-tiled backsplash, slate countertops, and quality stainless steel appliances-complete with a dishwasher and fully venting hood. The kitchen blends cohesively into your main living area allowing for welcomed camaraderie or quiet introspection in your urban solace. As you retreat up the stairs to the second level, the pleasantly placed stairwell skylight allows more natural light to flow inside. The second level features a generously sized master bedroom with a fully shelved walk-in closet, a quality sized second bedroom with a large closet, marble-tiled full bath, and storage space with a built in washer/dryer hookup. Living at 560 State Street includes a full time super, laundry room, stroller storage, and most notably, a euro-inspired brick-laid common courtyard with an outdoor kitchen featuring two gas-fired barbeque grills, wooden benches, shade trees, and gas-lit sconces illuminating the entryways. Across from the LIRR, 11 subway lines, and a plethora of buses, your location makes for a very convenient commute to almost anywhere in NYC! No need to travel too far for amusement as the Barclays Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, movie theater, Fort Greene Park, and Atlantic Center Mall are just steps from your door. While, Fulton Mall, MetroTech, Court Street and Smith Street dining, are just one short subway stop away!
