Property Summary
Description
Step back in time into this stunning Romanesque Renaissance Revival mansion originally built in 1890 for clothier Wilson Randolph by architect Peter Lauritzen in landmarked Bed-Stuy Brooklyn. This rarely available, top floor one bedroom, one bath gem was gut-renovated 10 years ago to include such charming detail as exposed brick, high pitched ceilings, engineered hardwood floors with walnut surface, an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, a skylight in the bathroom and plenty of hidden storage. With northern exposure, a spacious entry foyer and inviting flow, this warm home welcomes its next owner with an open kitchen featuring handsome gray cabinetry complemented by poured concrete countertops and a hexagon mosaic tile backsplash, open shelving and full-sized appliances by GE, whirlpool & Frigidaire. The tastefully finished bathroom has a subway tile with a green glass accent, dark wood vanity and cork floors. Relax in a bright and spacious bedroom where one can comfortably fit a queen bed with additional furnishings. 237-39 Hancock Street is located close to playgrounds, Herbert Von King Park, community green spaces and an excellent selection of restaurants, bars, independent boutiques and shops in the area including Peaches Hothouse, Café Calaca, Fat Doughnuts, L’Antagoniste and Saraghina Pizza and Bakery. Convenient to the A/C subway at Nostrand Avenue, the C subway at Kingston-Throop, the LIRR at Nostrand and several bus lines. Building amenities include on-site laundry, a large common backyard, dedicated bike and storage areas in the basement at no cost, plus additional common storage in the former attic of the original home. Pet-friendly and three flights up plus the stoop. The installation of an in-unit W/D in unit permitted with board approval. Please note that this is an HDFC co-op building with income restricted at 120% of AMI as defined each year by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. Under the current definition, a one-person household income cannot exceed $130,440 per year. A two-person household income cannot exceed $149,160 per year. Subletting restrictions apply.
