House of the Day: A Classic Bed Stuy Brownstone With Scenic Wallpaper

This two-family at 349 Hancock Street in Bed Stuy has lovely original details and was renovated and converted from an SRO four years ago by the architect-owner. There are original floors, doors, moldings and and elaborate mantels with tile.

The parlor floor kitchen and soundproof music rehearsal space on the top floor are new. The kitchen has blue Colorfin cabinetry and walnut shelves, according to the architect’s website.

The master bedroom has a niche with scenic wallpaper. (The bedroom and its occupant were profiled on Australian blog Assemble Papers.) There is also an updated but classic bath with claw foot tub, penny tile and bead board.

The house is 18 feet wide and is set up as an owner’s triplex over a garden-floor apartment. An open house is scheduled for Sunday, May 17.

It last traded for $480,000 in 2010 (when it was still an unrenovated SRO). What do you think of the renovation and the new ask of $1,850,000?
