## Property Overview

"A 19th-Century Brooklyn Townhouse Gets an Ultra-Mod Renovation"  — Curbed

"Designer and artist Virginie Sommet took a classic Queen Anne townhouse and reimagined into a series of spaces that confounds expectations."  — NBC Open House NYC

"It’s mod à go-go... designed by French transplant, artist and designer Virginie Sommet..." — Brownstoner

"The Enchanted Pragmatists—Fantasland in Bed-Stuy Complete with Rustic Pool" — New York Magazine

Experience Brownstone living like never before. Bright white and bathed in light — 137 Decatur Street manages to be both sleek yet rustic, peaceful yet stimulating, expansive yet intimate — and whimsical yet purposeful. Packed with custom artful features, prepare to be delighted!

This legal four-family, four-story Queen Anne townhome is configured as a lower duplex plus cellar with three rental units on the top two floors. The parlor floor is a loft-like open space taken down to the raw basics with exposed beams throughout adding warmth, and exposed brick painted white. The floors are the original subfloors coated in white epoxy paint for maximum light reflection.  The overall effect is bright and ethereal. The living area is blessed with a working brick fireplace and two south-facing oversized windows. Moving towards the back is a bank of 16 curved custom bookshelves covering the entire midsection of the floor.  The face of the cabinets can be removed to expose the contents or you can keep the sleek white theme intact.  Across the space is a custom curvy full bath.

Moving into the kitchen, the rear parlor wall is floor-to-ceilng glass opening onto the spectacular deck and zen garden with a natural stone swimming pool.  The kitchen itself runs the length of the western wall with all-white designer appliances, vented hood and washer/dryer.  The wall cabinetry is custom-designed to be exclamation points making your morning coffee that much more exhilarating!  A second working fireplace warms up the space.

The lower area of the duplex is also bright and open with painted exposed brick and floors, and exposed wood beams throughout. While the entire level can easily be used as a luxurious primary bedroom suite, the den area may also be used as a second bedroom.  A full bath and walk-in closet complete the space.  Walk out back for a summer kitchen and access to the peaceful natural garden.  The finished cellar features a whimsical half bath and a rare walk-out to the garden which makes this true extra living space.

The three rental units are configured as a forth floor floor-through apartment and two units on the third floor.  They have also been white-washed and retain some original architectural details such as window moldings and a lovely wood and tile mantle.

137 Decatur Street has been celebrated in innumerable ad campaigns and magazine articles. It is located steps from the A/C trains, near the best that Bedford Stuyvesant has to offer such as Peaches, Saraghina Bakery and Restaurant, Je T'aime Patisserie, Brooklyn Tea, Zaca Cafe, Natty Garden, Daphne's, Corto and much much more.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3018560047. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
