Property Description for 259 Hancock Street, 2

Old World Splendor At Its Finest! This unit truly embodies the reason why so many flock to the landmark streets of Bedford-Stuyvesant. Nestled away on tree-lined Hancock Street -which block is newly apart of the now 2nd historic district within the neighborhood called the Bedford Historic District-is this towering, 5-story Romanesque Revival/Queen Anne style brownstone built by one of the most noted builders of the late 1800's, Montrose Morris. The beautiful 2-bedroom apartment occupies the full top floor of the home offering sweet tree top views and many of the homes greatest attributes perfectly in tact including 2 decorative fireplaces, stained glass windows, 2 skylights, a huge master bedroom with an actual full wall of windows and so much more! The 2nd bedroom can more than accommodate a queen or king-sized bed and furniture set. Deep closets abound including an additional storage room for your non-everyday items to be conveniently stored out of sight and out of mind! Settle into this space that allows plenty of room to roam, grow and entertain with ease. Steps away from such neighborhood raves as BedVynes, Peaches Hot House, Sincerely Tommy, Eugene's and the latest addition to Tompkins Ave and a fast favorite of the neighborhood is Nagel's Bagels! Convenient to A/C or B26 direct to Fort Greene/Downtown Brooklyn. Pets on case-by-case basis. All utilities included with the exception of electric! Sorry, no smoking. Call for your appointment to view today!
Additional features of this property include: Skylight in the Bathroom, Large Hallway Skylight, and Wall of Windows in the Master Bedroom With Beautif.

Bedford Stuyvesant | Brooklyn

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.
