Property Description for 205 Hancock Street

Welcome to 205 Hancock Street! This gorgeous, beautifully renovated home was built in 1899. This 20 foot wide brownstone beauty is situated on one of the most sought-after blocks of trendy Bedford-Stuyvesant. The home offers an exquisitely detailed owner?s duplex and 2 floor-thru high income-producing rentals. Enter into the breathtaking owner?s residence through the massive hand-crafted doors and enjoy your reflection in the imposing vintage pier mirror. Set foot on the solid wide-plank hardwood flooring throughout the parlor floor. The grand floor-to-ceiling intricately crafted windows provide exceptional light while the custom shutters offer privacy as well.

Quick Profile

Known for its historic brownstones and tight-knit enclave, Bed-Stuy has increasingly left behind its early reputation for being a “bedroom community” and transcended into a highly desirable neighborhood. 

Distinct for its aesthetic, it is populated with ornate buildings characterized by cornices, friezes, finials, fluting and other marks of classic architecture. Built up during the period from 1870 to 1900, its historic district runs to the north of Jefferson Avenue, to the east of Malcolm X Boulevard and to the west of Tompkins Avenue. 

At one point known as “Brooklyn’s Little Harlem,” the shape of the area has shifted toward attracting a wider demographic of people thanks to the influx of bars, restaurants, antique furniture stores and vintage boutiques. More police enforcement paired with the decline of the crack epidemic at the beginning of the 2000s also opened the door for increased development, as well as the occupation of formerly abandoned buildings and spaces.
