Description
Welcome to 223 Hancock Street - an architect-owned brownstone gem nestled on one of the most picturesque, landmarked blocks in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
This four-story, legal four-family residence offers the rare opportunity to own a renovated, income-producing property in one of Brooklyn's most desirable and culturally rich neighborhoods.
Behind its classic facade lies approximately 3,600 square feet of meticulously designed living space. Originally built in 1865 by Arthur G. Stone, the Neo-classical Revival brownstone is thoughtfully reimagined by an award winning architect to reverence its historic charm while integrating contemporary comforts.
Each of the four apartments is distinct in character and layout, with soaring ceilings, original moldings, hardwood floors, and an abundance of natural light throughout. The home's design effortlessly marries the warmth of a bygone era with the sophistication of modern amenities.
The garden-level unit is a spacious one-bedroom retreat complete with both an indoor and outdoor kitchen, washer/dryer, and a lush, private backyard framed by a beautiful old maple tree-ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining.
The parlor-floor apartment, often described as the crown jewel of the building, boasts exceptional ceiling height, oversized windows, and a private patio with grill and dining area, creating a sunlit sanctuary within the city. Above, the third-floor unit retains its original architectural details and is currently rent-controlled, offering long-term value. The top-floor apartment is a bright, airy residence with an office, stylish kitchen, and panoramic views of treetops and open sky.
Set in a prime location just moments from Bedford Stuyvesant's most vibrant restaurants, cafes, boutique shops, parks, and green spaces, 223 Hancock also offers excellent transit access via the A, C, G, and LIRR lines-connecting residents to Manhattan, Long Island, and beyond with ease.
