Property Description
479 Hancock Street is a fully reimagined, four-story, two-family brownstone situated on one of Bedford-Stuyvesant's most picturesque tree-lined blocks. Fully gut renovated from top to bottom, this over 3,500 sq. ft. residence blends classic brownstone charm with a modern, refined aesthetic and high-end finishes throughout. The owner's four-level home begins with a gracious foyer that leads into an airy, sun-filled parlor floor. White oak herringbone floors, exposed brick, soaring ceilings, and custom millwork set a sophisticated tone for both living and entertaining. A beautifully appointed powder room on this level adds convenience and elegance, perfectly designed for guests. Toward the rear, the space transitions seamlessly into an exceptional chef's kitchen equipped with Dacor appliances, Quartzite countertops and backsplash, a vented hood, pot filler, deep sink, open shelving, and generous pantry storage. Oversized glass doors open to a spacious deck overlooking the landscaped private backyard, ideal for alfresco dining and gatherings. The primary suite on the second level is conceived as a private sanctuary, complete with a custom walk-through closet and a spa-quality en-suite bathroom featuring a soaking tub, steam sauna, rainfall shower, double vanity, and striking veined tile. A flexible bonus room off the suite is perfectly suited for a nursery, home office, or sitting room, while ample hallway closets enhance functionality and storage. The third floor offers two additional large bedrooms, each with its own private full bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy for family or guests. A fully outfitted laundry room completes this level. A staircase then rises to a private roof deck with sweeping townhouse and skyline views, creating a serene outdoor escape. The fully finished basement adds another layer of versatility with a half bathroom and a flexible recreation area that can serve as a media room, home gym, playroom, or studio, further expanding the home's livable space. On the garden level, a separate one-bedroom, one-bath apartment provides its own well-appointed kitchen, in-unit washer/dryer, and a private covered seating area. Ideal as a guest suite, in-law residence, or premium rental unit, it offers valuable flexibility and potential income. Set on a postcard-worthy block in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant, 479 Hancock Street places you moments from local favorites including Peaches, Saraghina, Mama Fox, and Cocktail Bed-Stuy, along with a rich selection of cafes, restaurants, and boutiques.
