From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Residence 1 at 168 Hancock Street is a 2 bed, 2 bath offering nearly 2,200 square feet over two levels, with a private entrance, a layout unlike anything else on the market, and over 1,600 square feet of private outdoor space. Double doors open to a wide living room with bay windows. Double exposures run throughout, and every room has a window, including the kitchen and both baths. The kitchen features natural wood cabinetry, stone counters and backsplash, paneled Fisher & Paykel appliances, an extra wide vented range hood, and a movable island. Recessed lighting, wide plank floors and a soft neutral palette keep the home bright and warm. The second bedroom has two exposures, a full wall of closets, and an ensuite bath with a tub and separate shower. The primary suite feels like a home of its own: a long entry hall, an ensuite bath, room for a king size bed with triple exposures, a separate area for an office or sitting room, and doors directly to the backyard. The wide backyard has electric, a water spigot and plenty of room for planting, and is large enough to host a garden party. A private sliver of side yard, adding 522 square feet, runs alongside the home so your own windows look out onto greenery. The outdoor space is reachable from multiple doors, including one off the living room. The 709 square foot lower level includes a spacious recreation room for a media room, gym, office or studio. An in unit washer and dryer and split system heating and cooling complete the home. Set on one of Hancock Street's most coveted blocks, lined with brownstones and mature trees, the home is near Ursula (amazing burritos), Little Grenjai (delicious Thai), Barker (NYTimes famous, best Roast Beef and chicken soup!), with the A and C trains at Nostrand Avenue a couple of blocks away. Unit 1 at 168 Hancock Street is a rare departure from the expected cookie cutter layout, without leaving Brooklyn behind. THE COMPLETE OFFERING TERMS ARE IN AN OFFERING PLAN AVAILABLE FROM THE SPONSOR 168 HANCOCK DEVELOPMENT LLC AT 184-15 AVON ROAD , JAMAICA, NY 11432 . FILE NO. CD25-0143
