Property Description for 1242 Hancock Street, 1

Welcome to 1242 Hancock Street - A Boutique Condominium of Distinction

Discover an exceptionally reimagined three-residence condominium that blends timeless Brooklyn character with contemporary sophistication. Behind its stately prewar facade, 1242 Hancock Street honors the architectural integrity of the neighborhood while offering a tranquil retreat just one block from Irving Square Park.

Residence 1 is a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom duplex home featuring a large private yard and spans just over 1,600 square feet with south-east facing windows. As you enter the home, you're greeted by a sense of intention that just feels right. You are initially greeted by a comfortably open living space just off the kitchen on the parlor level.

The kitchen is truly the pinnacle of this residence - showcasing lustrous off-white cabinetry paired with sleek yet sultry dark marble countertops providing an abundance of counter space and storage. Polished yet understated, the gold hardware adds a timeless touch to the cabinets, seamlessly complementing the kitchen fixtures. This chef's kitchen comes equipped with all top-of-the-line Fisher Paykel appliances including a gas range, vented microwave, and a paneled, French door refrigerator and dishwasher.

The first full bathroom off the living room boasts a sage green Zellige-inspired wall tile that pairs wonderfully with the brushed nickel hardware and fixtures, anchored by a neutral wooden vanity.

Two well-appointed bedrooms are tucked at the rear of the home. The gracious primary suite boasts excellent light, a spacious walk-in closet, and a serene en-suite bath with floor-to-ceiling neutral tiling, sleek brass finishes, and a double vanity that offers both beauty and functionality. The primary bedroom also offers convenient access to the private yard.

Heading down to the lower level of the residence you'll find the recreation room offering essentially a large second entertainment space perfect for a den, gym, creative studio, and more as well as a half-bathroom.

The private yard provides a large tranquil oasis creating an inviting, relaxing space to unwind outdoors.

1242 Hancock Street is Situated a block away from Irving Square Park where the community convenes to enjoy a slice of nature within the city.

The property is located near an abundance of neighborhood favorites including Xoco-Latte Bushwick, Rosa's Steakhouse, Fazio's, Bricklyn Pizza, Money Cat Vietnamese, Thai Ros Thip, Alex's Luncheonette, and more. Access to public transportation via the L train at Halsey Street.

Bushwick | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

As one of the most diverse neighborhoods in New York, Bushwick offers a perfect snapshot of just how multicultural the city is. Long-established as an amalgam of cultures and ethnicities, a wave of varying types of immigrants trickled in from the seventeenth to twentieth centuries, with Bushwick largely becoming a home to Hispanics of Puerto Rican and Dominican backgrounds by the latter part of the twentieth century. 

With the Bushwick Initiative of the mid-00s that aided in revitalization, it became an attractive area to young professionals and artists. And even now, Bushwick has sustained affordable rent prices where other North Brooklyn counterparts, like Williamsburg and Greenpoint, have become more expensive. Priding itself on the weird and the wacky, numerous art collectives thrive in this part of Brooklyn, once famously named the seventh coolest neighborhood in the world by Vogue. 

Though it has drawn in many tourists in recent years (there’s even a graffiti tour you can take from the Bushwick Collective), the neighborhood remains very much community-oriented, and has not been subject to quite the same sort of corporate infiltration phenomenon of its nearby Williamsburg environs. 

But yes, of course, Bushwick has come a very long way from its 80s and 90s reputation as being “The Well,” a nickname given to it for its free-flowing and widely available amount of drugs (quantity over quality being the cliche applied here).
