SHOWING SUNDAY, JUNE 29th-BY APPOINTMENT!

242 Hancock Street A Landmark Bed-Stuy Brownstone Like No Other.

As seen on the 2024 Brownstoner House Tour

This residence made headlines and captured hearts during the 2024 Bed-Stuy Brownstoner House Tour, drawing lines of admirers eager to step inside. Now, this remarkable home - rich in history and meticulously reimagined - can be yours.

Built in 1868 by the renowned Montrose Morris, the visionary behind Brooklyns architectural legacy, this rare Queen Anne-style home is a masterclass in timeless elegance. From the moment you step onto the parlor floor, the home makes a breathtaking impression with its soaring ceilings, refined crown moldings and an open layout that flows with intention and grace.

The parlor level sets the tone: expansive, elegant, and flooded with natural light. The formal living room and dining area each feature their own functioning fireplaces, anchoring the home in warmth and timeless sophistication. The chefs kitchen is a showstopper worthy of any culinary enthusiast, outfitted with top-of-the-line Gaggenau appliances with an additional steam oven and warmer draw, quartz countertops, custom built cabinetry with excessive storage and radiant heated flooring. A massive island provides the perfect setting for everything from morning coffee to dinner parties. Every detail was chosen with care and designed for both beauty, performance and functionality.

As you ascend the grand staircase, framed by original wood wainscoting, you will find generous bedrooms and tranquil common areas. The second-floor features three bedroomsone with an en-suite bath and another full bathroom in the common area. Select rooms showcase hand-designed plaster ceiling inlays, Tiffany-stained glass windows, and original doors. The third floor has two additional bedrooms, each with their own private en-suite bathrooms. The oversized master bedroom features two custom built walk-in closets with sky lights flooding the space. The bathroom features hand-laid Italian tiles, a jacuzzi spa tub, glass-enclosed steam shower, and dual vanities.

Throughout the home, five ornate fireplaces have been restored with energy-efficient flue technology. Modern amenities are seamlessly integrated, including central air conditioning, radiant heated bathroom floors, and central vacuum.

Step outside into your own peaceful retreat: a fully paved backyard framed by greenery, that creates the perfect setting for outdoor gatherings and peaceful solitude.

Though legally a two- home, the property is currently used as a grand - residence with a finished garden level that features its own entrance and a large custom-paved backyard.

The garden level is currently used as a media room and playroom. The seller will convert it to a one-bedroom rental or guest suite if desired.

Timeless in beauty, yet updated for contemporary comfort, 242 Hancock Street stands as one of Bed-Stuys true masterpieces and a love letter to Brooklyn architecture. This is more than a homeits a statement.

Located just two blocks from the A/C train at Nostrand Avenue, with a convenient 20-minute commute to Manhattan. The home is situated just off Tompkins Avenue, a thriving corridor lined with neighborhood boutiques, restaurants, and cafes. Residents can also enjoy nearby green space at Herbert Von King Park and explore local favorites including Saraghina, Peaches, Peaches Hot House , Bar Luntico, and the Bedford-Stuyvesant YMCA.
