527A Hancock is a magnificent, completely renovated two-family townhouse nestled on a quiet tree-lined street on one of the most beautiful blocks of Stuyvesant Heights. Originally built in 1899, this gorgeous four-story brownstone has over 4,200 square feet of living space. The property is comprised of an exquisite owner's triplex with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, plus a beautiful 2 bedroom duplex garden apartment, ideal for an in-law suite or an income-generating rental unit. This masterfully developed brownstone combines classic townhouse living with state-of-the-art technological conveniences for today's modern lifestyle.

As you enter the parlor floor of the owner's unit, you are greeted with dramatic 10' high ceilings, oversized windows, a spectacular decorative fireplace with ornate hand carved details and stunning 4-inch wide plank white oak floors. The breathtaking floor-through parlor level is the perfect place for either hosting parties or peaceful tranquility after a long day at work. The expansive open-concept living room and dining room are flooded with natural light and lead to an exquisite, state of the art eat-in kitchen. The kitchen boasts professional stainless steel appliances, including Electrolux ICON oven and microwave, Thor 6-burner range, LG Studio refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher. The imported Italian kitchen cabinetry are made of Palomino Noche & Cashmere Opaco by Stosa. The white-tiled backsplash and white Carrera Quartz countertops complete the flawlessly designed chef's kitchen. Directly off the kitchen are beautiful french doors which open onto a spacious 16 ft. wide deck which overlooks the backyard and is perfect for entertaining or al fresco dining. The stairs off the deck lead down to a beautifully landscaped fenced-in garden.

The third floor is comprised of 3 spacious bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom, an additional spa-like bathroom and a laundry closet. The bedrooms offer walk-in closet space and oversized windows.

The mouth-dropping top floor features a full-floor master suite where natural sunlight pours in through multiple skylights, as well as oversized north and south facing windows. The extravagant en-suite bathroom is a place of tranquility and features a beautiful black, white & teal tiled floor with deep-soaking bathtub, a luxurious glass-enclosed rain shower and his-and-her vanity sinks.

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.
