Property Description for 534 Hancock Street

Welcome to 534 Hancock Street, a legal 3 family 4-floor Stuyvesant Heights gem blocks from the A/C train. Old world-details can meet your dream modern house in this lovely legal 3-family townhome. This classic was built in 1899 and resides on a tree-lined block, and retains much of its original detail and hardwood floors throughout. Perfect to live in the owner's duplex and rent the other floors for income!

Take a moment to admire the sturdy exterior of this nearly 16.67' wide and 100' lot beauty before entering the garden level of the owner's duplex, and you'll see why. First, find yourself in the proper entry foyer and make your way into the bright living room that leads to an open-concept combined kitchen and dining room. A full bathroom sits adjacent to the kitchen. Dine in or take the party directly out back into your leafy and lush backyard. Additionally, you have access to a standing height unfinished basement, which is perfect for storage or even a home gym.

The parlor level has two massive bedrooms with high ceilings. The bedrooms are bright and cleverly delineated and also include ample closet space. A decorative fireplace adorns the front bedroom, and a half-bath (that could easily be converted to a full bath) is located in the rear.

Satisfy your mortgage with two highly desirable rentals located on the top two floors.

The third-floor oozes charm and features a decorative fireplace, a sizable bedroom and a separate den--along with ample closet space. The entire unit is basked in sunlight and has tranquil views over the rear yard and trees. The kitchen on this level has been fully renovated open-concept with a marble countertop and stainless steel appliances.

When you enter the top floor, two skylights bathe this unit in sunlight all day long, along with one-bedroom plus den rental with a decorative fireplace, a giant closet and renovated bathroom.

To say there is nothing with the potential of 534 Hancock Street on the market would be an understatement. Nestled in the heart of Stuyvesant Heights, near all of the restaurants, shops and bars that make the neighborhood a go-to destination, and mere blocks from multiple subway lines, this income earning beauty is must-see.

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.
