About This Home

Step into a piece of Brooklyn’s architectural legacy at 246 Hancock Street, a stately four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom two-family brownstone nestled in the heart of the Bedford Historic District. Built in the late 1800s as the showcase project of its original architect, this historic residence stands as a proud testament to enduring craftsmanship and elevated design. With a unique building dimension of 22x50 and spanning three full floors plus a finished basement, this two-family property is one of the largest in Bed-Stuy and offers extraordinary spaciousness, flexibility and charm. The garden-level unit is a spacious one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence with walk-in closet and direct access to a private backyard and deck, an urban oasis perfect for entertaining or peaceful reflection. The upper-level unit—the second and third floors—comprise a gracious three-bedroom, two full bathroom duplex, offering grand proportions, natural light, and an intelligent layout for modern living. A fully finished basement with its own entrance adds to the property’s functionality, complete with a powder room for added convenience. Original hardwood floors flow throughout the home, echoing its storied past, while thoughtful updates ensure ease and comfort. Located just moments from the A/C subway lines at Nostrand Avenue and the G train at Bedford-Nostrand, 246 Hancock offers seamless access to Manhattan, Downtown Brooklyn, and beyond. Surrounded by beloved local gems like Saraghina, Peaches, Bar LunÀtico, and the Bedford-Stuyvesant YMCA, this address places you in the heart of a vibrant neighborhood known for its strong sense of community, rich cultural history, and ever-evolving creative energy. Nearby parks, cafes, boutiques, and markets ensure everything you need is just a stroll away. Here, beauty, history, and possibility converge, creating a rare opportunity to literally own a true piece of New York. The property will be delivered vacant.
