73 Hancock Street

Located on one of the most desired streets in Brooklyn this brownstone is a exceptionally unique, architectural dream. Given the royal treatment with every detail and ideally situated on a premiere street in historic Bedford, this 4-story, 3-family home allows you to live-the-dream in your own luxe duplex while gaining income from 2 rental units which are as finely finished as the main living space. Architect Ricardo Vargas reimagined this classic 1880 Isaac Delameter Reynolds designed neo-Grec brownstone for living in Brooklyn today. The duplex of this home, which covers over half of this townhouse total space, is sympathetic to the era of the property, but with a contemporary twist. The result is a beautiful and spacious owner's apartment spread out over two floors. This house merges traditional fixtures with modern materials and cutting-edge home technology. The duplex has a large living space divided into a sun-filled south facing formal sitting room around a traditional fireplace on one side, and a relaxed TV-cinema area with oversized wood casement windows on the other. The middle of this floor has a sophisticated modern kitchen, with custom cabinetry that blends in with the walls and complements the large wow feature island. The dining area makes every dinner feel special. For an even more luxurious touch, each of the bedrooms feature an en suite bathroom. The spacious primary bedroom is in the same style as the rest of the owners unit, with built-ins and closets sitting happily next to contemporary custom wood doors that look out into the one of a kind garden. The private tranquil Japanese inspired garden give one the feeling like you are in an outdoor room. The two upper two bedroom units are also renovated with a sophisticated and luxurious meld of old and new. Each unit has updated kitchens with all modern appliances including washer,dryer and A/C. The new features of both apartments complement the original classic marble mantels and wood floors. Both units look down onto the green and leafy street. All three units in this home are great for entertaining and two of the three units in this brownstone have private outdoor spaces. This house is ideally located in the highly desirable Bedford Historic District on Hancock Street between Bedford and Nostrand Avenues, close to the A/C express and S train stops as well as the Long Island Railroad station.
