House of the Day: A Lavish Brownstone With All the Mod Cons in Bed Stuy
If this luxurious Neo-Grec brownstone at 126 Hancock Street sells for ask or above, it will set a new record for the neighborhood.

If this luxurious Neo-Grec brownstone at 126 Hancock Street sells for ask or above, it will set a new record for the neighborhood. A renovation took two years, according to the listing, and in addition to lots of original details, the house also has new floors, mechanicals, central air, and a kitchen with gold-veined marble counters.
The original details include tons of wood work, mantels, and a pier mirror. There is also a landscaped garden and two decks. It’s set up as a triplex over a two-bedroom garden-floor rental.
By the way, it’s not the most expensive brownstone currently on the market in Bed Stuy. That distinction goes to 247 Hancock Street, asking $6,000,000.
The ask is $3,195,000. Do you think they’ll get it?

Isn’t the most obvious flaw that the 2 BR garden rental unit is illegal? LOL @ the oven or mudroom. This is a 1 family residence. Converting it to a 2-Family will reset the tax basis.
beautiful design ! they’ll definitely get asking price.
I used to live two doors down. Beautiful house and beautiful block.
Not crazy about the bathrooms. And I think a kitchen island should always do some work and be functional- i.e have a stove or sink not just dead space. But those are minor issues, this place is beautiful!
What a showplace. Gorgeous.
That’s alot of money, but this looks worth it. A similar house a few blocks west would be a million more at least. And at this price point, schools don’t matter cause the new owners will be able to afford private school
I brought the issue up to the developer. In fact, the pitch is correct and is away from the house. It was just hart to tell at the angle you were at.
