Property Description for 449 Hancock Street
449 Hancock Street is located on one of those special tree lined Brooklyn Brownstone blocks in Bedford- Stuyvesant between Marcus Garvey and Lewis Avenues. Flooded with light, this Victorian three story brownstone beauty is incredibly intact, think freeze-frame 1890, with virtually every detail present in the house from the mahogany wainscotting, bannisters, plaster ceiling florettes, parlor doors, window surrounds and shutters, and four decorative fireplace mantels. The yard is nicely fenced and you have a small extension for house storage. The bedrooms are upstairs in the double parlor which is south facing and incredibly bright and airy. You could move right in as the mechanicals are in good working order. The trains are nearby as well: the express train, the A at Utica and the C train at Kingston/Throop.

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.
