Property Description for 237-239 Hancock Street, 13

Step back in time into this stunning Romanesque Renaissance Revival mansion originally built in 1890 for clothier Wilson Randolph by architect Peter Lauritzen in landmarked Bed-Stuy Brooklyn. This rarely available, top floor one bedroom, one bath gem was gut-renovated 10 years ago to include such charming detail as exposed brick, high pitched ceilings, engineered hardwood floors with walnut surface, an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, a skylight in the bathroom and plenty of hidden storage. With northern exposure, a spacious entry foyer and inviting flow, this warm home welcomes its next owner with an open kitchen featuring handsome gray cabinetry complemented by poured concrete countertops and a hexagon mosaic tile backsplash, open shelving and full-sized appliances by GE, whirlpool & Frigidaire. The tastefully finished bathroom has a subway tile with a green glass accent, dark wood vanity and cork floors. Relax in a bright and spacious bedroom where one can comfortably fit a queen bed with additional furnishings. 237-39 Hancock Street is located close to playgrounds, Herbert Von King Park, community green spaces and an excellent selection of restaurants, bars, independent boutiques and shops in the area including Peaches Hothouse, Café Calaca, Fat Doughnuts, L’Antagoniste and Saraghina Pizza and Bakery.

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.
