410 Hancock Street

A Rare 52-FOOT-DEEP Townhouse Masterpiece in Prime Bedford-Stuyvesant. Welcome to 410 Hancock Street, a Romanesque Revival treasure set on one of Bed-Stuy’s most iconic, tree-lined blocks. What truly sets this home apart is its exceptional 52-foot depth - far exceeding the neighborhood norm of 40-45 feet - providing grand proportions, larger rooms, and a level of flexibility rarely available in Brooklyn townhouse living. Sunlight pours through stunning north and south-facing bay windows, illuminating this gracious six-bedroom, five full and two half-bath residence. The home is configured as a sprawling four-floor owner’s unit above a fully separate two-bedroom, two-bath garden apartment, which is a consistent income generator for the current owners! The garden unit is offered fully furnished - ideal for investors or those seeking to offset a mortgage payment - but can also be delivered unfurnished if preferred. From its meticulously restored Romanesque façade and Queen Anne stoop to its thoughtfully designed interior, the home impresses at every turn. Step into the parlor level to discover soaring 12-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and rich herringbone walnut floors. The spacious dining area, illuminated by chic polycarbonate light fixtures, creates an elegant backdrop for entertaining. At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen with sleek cabinetry, a marble-topped island, and top-tier appliances including a Bertazzoni range, Fischer & Paykel refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher. Sun-drenched and inviting, the adjacent living room centers around a gas fireplace and opens directly to an expansive private terrace. The south-facing backyard, completely reimagined with a stone-tiled patio, lush sodded lawn, and decked pergola, offers a peaceful escape and ideal setting for al fresco dining. Also on this level is a striking black-and-white powder room. Below, the fully finished basement (accessible directly from the owner’s unit) adds another layer of versatility, with porcelain flooring, exposed stone walls, a half bath, and custom wine storage - every detail meticulously crafted. The upper levels feature four spacious bedrooms. The primary suite includes exceptional closet space (including a walk-in) and a spa-like en-suite bath with soaking tub, stall shower, and dual sinks. A second bedroom on this level, currently used as a home office, is perfect for guest stays or remote work. Two more large bedrooms and full baths, along with a laundry room, complete the top floor. The garden-level unit is equally impressive, featuring a spacious, thoughtfully designed layout and a fantastic, open kitchen that flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas. With two well-proportioned bedrooms and two full bathrooms, it offers exceptional comfort and privacy, whether used as a high-performing rental, a guest suite, or additional living space for the owner. Located in one of Bed-Stuy’s most desirable pockets, 410 Hancock is close to acclaimed restaurants and cafés including Peaches, Saraghina, and Ursula, with convenient access to the A, C, and G trains for easy commuting throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan. *Square footage includes the finished basement.*
