Description

Experience incredible proportions and historic elegance in this one-of-a-kind single-family home. Featuring extensive original details, a large private backyard, and a spacious well-laid out floor plan, this home is truly exceptional.

Upon entering, you'll be welcomed by a brightly lit living room with massive bay windows that flood the space with natural light. The adjacent spacious kitchen boasts a breakfast bar with Caesarstone countertops and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances with a powder room for guests.

The upper levels of this home feature four expansive bedrooms, each filled with ample storage, natural light from oversized windows, and private study/den areas. Two shared bathrooms, adorned with modern fixtures, complete these elegant levels.

The spacious lower level offers even more living space with an additional bedroom, a large room that can double as another bedroom, and a separate storage area. A dedicated laundry room adds convenience to this level.

The home can be easily used as a single family or converted to a two family if you desire rental income and/or separate space for guests or work from home and is in excellent condition or can be reimagined for those seeking to modify the property to fit their needs.

From 196 Hancock Street, you'll enjoy proximity to several lovely parks and playgrounds, subway stations servicing the A/C lines, and popular dining spots.
