Description

Private parking space MAY be available at an added cost.

168 Hancock Street offers five exceptional residences within one of Bed-Stuy's most compelling architectural masterpieces. Each home has exposure on three sides, creating captivating rooms adorned with oversized bays and monumental windows along its length, the result of Marshall J. Morrill's neo-Grec and Second Empire vision, realized in 1881.

Residence 1, The Garden Duplex, is the building's signature home: a two-level residence spanning approximately 2,184 interior square feet, with two bedrooms, a recreation room, and two full bathrooms, all complemented by 1,640 square feet of private outdoor space. Your new living must be seen to be believed, boasting a monumental bay forming the living and dining room, a one-of-a-kind space topped with high ceilings and a sweep of monumental windows. The custom kitchen blends Scandinavian design with thoughtful touches like long counters, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, and internal drawers, all in service of a home that feels both grand and effortlessly livable.

The primary suite is exceptional: 26 feet in length, anchored by a stunning octagonal bay room. Yes, an 8-sided bay. The primary suite easily accommodates a king bed with room to spare and sits steps from a full bathroom. The secondary bedroom accommodates a queen comfortably, with a corner window and dedicated closet area that make it work perfectly as a generously sized bedroom with room for a home office.

What sets The Garden Duplex apart is the outdoors. A landscaped rear yard of more than 1,100 square feet, roughly 30 by 32 feet, invites everything from morning coffee to summer dinners under the trees, while a 522 square foot side open space adds even more room to breathe. Downstairs, a vast recreation room of nearly 550 square feet offers flexible space for a media room, gym, playroom, or guest retreat, served by its own mechanical and storage areas. An in-unit washer and dryer completes the home.

Set along tree-lined Hancock Street, surrounded by landmark brownstones on one of Bed-Stuy's most established blocks. Neighborhood restaurants, cafés, and boutiques are moments away, with convenient access to the A and C trains.

The backyard image is an AI rendering. It is not an exact depiction of the final build, which is still in progress. The offering plan governs all final specifications.
