Listing Notes
Sunlit Brownstone Charm in the Heart of Stuyvesant Heights Welcome to 539 Hancock Street, a classic two-family brownstone set on a picturesque, tree-lined block in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Southern exposures fill the home with natural light, highlighting oakwood floors, high ceilings, pocket doors, and beautifully preserved wood-encased windows with stained glass accents. Request our floor plan to see how well each room flows into each other, with all the size and scale it inhabits. Original wood fireplace mantles add warmth and timeless character throughout. Ideally located near the New York City Subway A Line and New York City Subway C Line at the Utica Avenue Subway Station, plus the B26 Bus and B15 Bus, this home offers both historic beauty and everyday convenience. A rare opportunity to own light-filled character and flexible two-family living in one of Brooklyn's most admired neighborhoods. Schedule your tour today.
