## Property Overview

Artful aesthetics meet ultimate functionality in this top-to-bottom, truly turnkey renovation of a classic Boerum Hill brick two family. Only the third owners in the home's one hundred and twenty five year lineage, the sellers fully reimagined 478 State Street, with an eclecticism that playfully mix-and-matches historical details and modern style.

* Parlor Level *
A beautifully restored entry leads into a parlor level whose immediate impression is a showstopper of windowed wall giving south onto the garden. Within, venetian plaster, playful detailing, an elegant dedicated dining area and sleek, colorful kitchen with high-end appliances and plentiful storage are all bathed in the southern light. A chic powder room checks the last box of needs and wants.

* Primary Suite + Study *
Two bedrooms on the second floor are currently framed as primary bedroom — aerie treetop views, en suite bath with walk-in shower, walk-in closet, and laundry — and study or family room, where early 20th century arches, original shutters, and gently shaded views are complemented by pops of color and a fully-wired TV system.

* Top-Floor Studio + Secondary Bedroom *
The top floor features a skylight-lit studio with built in desks, shelving, moveable ladder and island — ideal for work-from-home creativity. Dormer windows give onto a beautiful purple-reddening maple tree. A lounge/wet bar with full bath, all sky-lit, connects across to the king-size secondary bedroom, where south-western sunshine floods in.

* Terrace + Garden *
Fully irrigated, lushly planted, and anchored by a mature cherry kanzan tree that blooms spectacularly in early spring and leafs out for enduring loveliness through summer and fall. Fenced at the maximum allowable height for maximum privacy, fully lit, and featuring an expansive terrace and steel stair designed for durability and ease of upkeep as well as beauty.

* Garden Apartment *
Renovated one bedroom with dishwasher, exposed brick, plentiful storage, and optional patio access. Easily rentable, ideally designed to provide both privacy and accessibility to an au pair or in-law suite.

* Basement *
Semi-finished, with nearly 8’ ceilings, resistant sealed-floor coating (ideal for gym or storage), and full-size washer and dryer to serve the garden rental.

* Technical + Restoration Details*
The home is wired for every conceivable need, with networked sound, smart lighting controls, electric shades, and central air. Whole house steam humidifier; radiant heat controlled by Ecobee. White oak floors with natural stain throughout. Reverse osmosis water filter system feeds to drinking spouts as well as fridge lines throughout the home. All mechanicals new as of 2018. Roof replaced in 2018 and resurfaced in 2024. Facade and stoop restored (including recreation of the period-specific stoop rail) in 2018-2019 with touch-ups in 2022. ADT security system in place. Verizon FiOS available. All fixtures convey.

## Sales Evidence

### Recent closed sales

478 State Street has one recorded sale since September 2021, the most recent for $4,205,000 in August 2026. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices.

| Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Entire property (Multi Family) | 5 | 3,116 | $4,205,000 | $1,349/ft² | August 21, 2026 | MLS |

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable house sales in Boerum Hill is $5,095,000, based on 13 sales between August 2022 and August 2026. This home is asking $4,205,000, $890,000 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $3,505,000 and $7,500,000.

- **Median closed price**: $5,095,000
- **Middle half**: $3,505,000 – $7,500,000
- **Based on**: 13 house sales in Boerum Hill
- **Period**: August 2022 – August 2026
- **Median $/ft²**: $1,147/ft²

Across the 12 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.7% of what it originally asked. 58% of them closed below the original ask.

A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across Boerum Hill. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 97.7% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 58% of 12 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 67 days (about 10 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 76 days (about 11 weeks)

Across the 12 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.7% of what it originally asked. 58% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 67 days (about 10 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 13 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 76 days (about 11 weeks), based on the 12 with both dates recorded.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Based on 13 house sales in Boerum Hill, August 2022 – August 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

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 3001790014. 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.
