Welcome to 479 Hancock Street — a thoughtfully reimagined four-story brownstone set on a picturesque, tree-lined block in the heart of Stuyvesant Heights.

This fully renovated two-family residence offers approximately 3,600 square feet of well-balanced living space, blending classic Brooklyn character with a modern, functional layout designed for everyday living.

The owner’s residence spans multiple levels, creating a true townhouse experience with room to live, work, and unwind. The parlor level opens into a bright and inviting living space, flowing seamlessly into a formal dining area and a custom kitchen with direct access to an oversized private deck and backyard — a natural extension of the home, ideal for both quiet mornings and hosting.

Upstairs, the layout continues with intention. A flexible room serves well as a home office or additional bedroom, while the primary suite offers a more private retreat, complete with a walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom featuring a wet room and steam shower. The top floor includes two well-proportioned en-suite bedrooms, each with its own full bath, providing comfort and privacy throughout.

A fully finished cellar adds another layer of usability, easily adapting to a media room, gym, playroom, or additional lounge space depending on your needs.

The garden level is configured as a separate one-bedroom residence with its own entrance and in-unit washer and dryer, offering flexibility for additional income, extended living, or guest space.

Outdoor areas have been designed with equal care, including a large deck off the kitchen, a private backyard, and rooftop access with the potential to create an elevated outdoor setting.

With a full gut renovation, a versatile multi-level layout, and the added benefit of an income-producing unit, this is a home that offers both immediate comfort and long-term flexibility — all within one of Brooklyn’s most established and steadily evolving neighborhoods.
