About this home
Prepare to be captivated by 479 Hancock Street, a meticulously gut-renovated, four-story, two-family bespoke brownstone situated on a picture-perfect tree-lined block in Prime Bedford-Stuyvesant. Originally built in 1899 and reimagined with the finest craftsmanship, this 3,000+ sq. ft. residence blends timeless brownstone character with sophisticated modern design—setting a new benchmark for Brooklyn luxury living.
Step inside to a welcoming foyer that opens into the sun-drenched owner’s fourplex, where white oak herringbone floors, exposed brick, soaring ceilings, and custom millwork set the stage for refined elegance. The parlor level flows seamlessly into a chef’s kitchen with Dacor appliances, dramatic Quartzite counters & backsplash, vented hood, pot filler, deep sink, open shelving, and abundant pantry storage. Oversized glass doors extend to a spacious deck overlooking a lush private garden—perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining.
The primary suite is a sanctuary with a custom walk-through closet and a spa-inspired en-suite bath featuring a soaking tub, steam sauna, rainfall shower, double vanities, and striking veined tile. A bonus room offers flexibility for a nursery or office, while multiple hallway closets provide abundant storage.
The third floor features two additional large bedrooms, each with its own private full bathroom, plus a fully outfitted laundry room. A staircase ascends to the private roof deck, boasting sweeping townhouse and skyline views. The finished basement, complete with a full bath, offers versatile space for a media room, gym, or playroom.
The garden-level apartment is a well-appointed one-bedroom, one-bath residence with a sleek kitchen, in-unit washer/dryer, and private covered seating area. Ideal as a guest suite, in-law unit, or premium rental, it provides ultimate flexibility.
