Property Summary
Description
789 Hancock Street is a two-family townhouse with exceptional potential in one of Brooklyn’s iconic brownstone neighborhoods. Buyers can move in and update over time or renovate immediately to meet their standards. The house is currently configured as an owner’s duplex (garden and parlor floors) with a 1-bedroom rental on the top floor. Both units share an entrance. The owner’s unit is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath apartment with access to the backyard and basement. The garden level features a full bathroom, laundry, living area, and a large kitchen, which leads to the backyard. The backyard has been well-kept and is ripe for the future owner to create their own oasis. The parlor floor offers multiple bedrooms and a full bathroom (pictured). Facing south, this level receives abundant natural light. Upstairs, the rental unit is a classic 1-bedroom floor-through apartment with a large walk-in closet. Located on a tree-lined street, 789 Hancock is situated near neighborhood cafes, eateries, and local parks. The J train is just a few blocks away, offering an easy commute to Manhattan. This is a perfect canvas for a new owner to design their dream space.
