Perched beneath The Boerum’s striking cast-aluminum crown, Penthouse 2 at 265 State Street is one of only four residences at the pinnacle of the building, an extraordinary home defined by privacy, scale, and exceptional outdoor living. Bathed in sunlight and surrounded by open sky, this is a rare Brooklyn penthouse offering that feels both expansive and deeply serene.
Private parking and a dedicated storage unit are included.
At the center of the home is a dramatic 35-foot-long great room, seamlessly blending living and dining spaces beneath soaring ceilings and walls of glass. Four oversized east-facing bay windows flood the interiors with natural light throughout the day while framing sweeping views across Boerum Hill, Carroll Gardens, and beyond. From the rooftop terrace, panoramic vistas extend to New York Harbor and the Manhattan skyline.
The open chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully integrated into the space and finished with custom cabinetry, Silestone quartz countertops, Wolf and Liebherr appliances, and an oversized center island with integrated sink, dishwasher, and seating, equally suited for quiet mornings or larger-scale entertaining.
Upstairs, the nearly 1,200-square-foot private rooftop terrace is truly exceptional and rarely found in Brooklyn condominium living. Wrapped in open exposures and anchored by a pergola, the terrace offers endless possibilities for outdoor dining, lounging, gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the calm of your own private retreat above the city.
The south-facing corner primary suite is both peaceful and generously proportioned, featuring a large walk-in closet and a beautifully appointed windowed bath finished with heated Calacatta marble floors, Ferrara marble counters, double porcelain sinks, Toto fixtures, a freestanding soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. Refined gunmetal fixtures by Brooklyn-based Watermark add an additional layer of craftsmanship and detail.
Additional features include wide-plank white oak flooring, central air conditioning, and an LG washer and fully vented dryer.
Residents of The Boerum enjoy a thoughtfully curated amenity collection including a fitness center, resident lounge, library, playroom, and a landscaped 15th-floor terrace complete with outdoor kitchen, lawn, and sun-drenched seating areas.
A truly rare offering in the heart of Boerum Hill, Penthouse 2 combines architectural distinction, extraordinary light, sweeping skyline views, and one of the most compelling private rooftop experiences currently available in Brooklyn.
