From the listing

The Perfect Townhouse Rental 540 State Street, is a classic Brooklyn townhouse on a tree-lined street in Boerum Hill. This four story, 20' wide, 1899 brownstone retains much of its original grandeur, with 11' ceilings, matching carved marble fireplaces, and plaster details. The large south facing garden is the hidden jewel of this fantastic rental property. Spanning 3,280sf of interior space over ten rooms, the residence has five bedrooms, three full baths, plus a spacious ground level kitchen and dining alcove that opens onto a 20'x 36' backyard. In addition, there is a separate laundry room, and lots of possibilities for private work from home spaces. Situated at the intersection of Boerum Hill/Fort Greene/Park Slope/Downtown Brooklyn, 540 State Street has easy access to one of the best cultural and transportation hubs in all of New York City. Whether a play at BAM, an event at Barclays Center, the Fort Greene Farmers Market on Saturday, a trip to the Apple Store, Trader Joes and Whole Foods, or the LIRR to the beach, nothing is very far away. The house is immediately available for rent and shown by appointment. Pets are allowed on a case-by-case basis.
