About this home
Prepare to be captivated by 479 Hancock Street, a meticulously gut-renovated, four-story, two-family bespoke brownstone nestled on a tree-lined block in Prime Bedford-Stuyvesant. Originally built in 1899 and reimagined with the finest craftsmanship, this 3,000+ sq ft residence seamlessly combines historic charm with high-end modern finishes—redefining the standard of luxury multi-family living.
Step through custom double doors into a sun-drenched owner’s fourplex, where crisp white oak herringbone floors, exposed brick, soaring ceilings, and intricate millwork set the tone for refined living. The open-concept parlor level flows effortlessly from the living space to a custom chef’s kitchen with Dacor appliances, featuring wood cabinetry, dramatic Quartzite countertops & backsplash, and thoughtful extras like a pot filler, deep multi-function sink, vented hood, open shelving, and ample pantry space.
Oversized glass doors open onto a spacious deck, perfect for alfresco dining overlooking a lush private garden. A Venetian plastered powder room with a stunning designer vanity completes this floor.
Ascend the softly lit staircase to a truly serene primary suite, featuring a custom-built walk-through closet and a spa-inspired, windowed en-suite bath with veined tile, a deep soaking tub, steam sauna, rainfall shower, and double vanities. A flexible bonus room functions perfectly as a home office or nursery, while three deep hallway closets offer generous storage.
The third floor boasts two additional spacious bedrooms with large closets, a sleek full bathroom, and a fully outfitted laundry room. A staircase leads to your private roof deck, showcasing panoramic townhouse and skyline views.
The finished basement includes a full bathroom and is perfect for a media room, gym, playroom, or additional storage—with interior access from the main residence.
The garden-level apartment is a well-appointed one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit with a sleek kitchen, in-unit washer/dryer, and covered outdoor seating area. Seamlessly connected to the owner’s residence for flexible use, it's ideal for guests or rental income.
