387 Hancock St

Located on quiet and beautiful tree-lined Hancock Street in the heart of the Stuyvesant Heights historic district in Bedford-Stuyvesant, this legal two family brownstone mixes exquisite original woodwork with modern sensibility, along with 2 massive income-producing duplex units. The recently gut-renovated 18-ft. wide, 4-story historic townhouse is generously configured as a double duplex, so the new owner can take their pick between a 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath downstairs duplex unit, or a 2.5-bedroom 2-bath upstairs duplex unit. Downstairs has full access to a 100 sq. ft. private deck leading out to your own 1,000 sq. ft. private garden backyard with pavers, grass, and wraparound raised planters. The location and unique configuration of the home is perfect for end-users, shares or investors. Both units are sun-drenched and have stunningly spacious open plan living/dining rooms that extend into an open kitchen with island. The house is full of preserved original details, original fireplace mantles and ornate woodwork. There are new wide-plank mangrove oak hardwood floors, new GE appliances throughout, dishwashers, in-unit washer/dryers, working electric fireplaces, central oil heat and split unit ACs in every room. The lower duplex parlor floor has floor-to-ceiling windows from both the south and north- facing windows to flood the interior with light, along with enormous 11-foot ceilings and an original giant pier mirror. The garden floor features two generously sized bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet. Like the lower duplex, the upper duplex is flooded with sunlight from both ends, and features a massive open-floor plan layout with a living/dining/kitchen area. It also features original fireplace mantles and ornate woodwork, and 2 working electric fireplaces! On the 4th floor are two generously sized bedrooms and one home office/nursery with a skylight. The roof is brand new, and the entire back of the home was completely waterproofed in late 2021. 387 Hancock is just a 5 minute walk from the Kingston-Throop C train and 11 minutes walk from the Nordstrand A express train (15 mins to Manhattan) and walking distance to the G, J and Z.
