Description

378 Hancock Street, originally constructed in 1899, has been newly renovated to offer the perfect blend of high-end finishes, modern technology, and impeccable craftsmanship while honoring its historic roots. This stunning four-story, two-family brownstone features 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, a spacious parlor deck, and an expansive backyard garden. From the mosaic-detailed foyer to the chef’s dream kitchen, every corner of this home has been thoughtfully designed with attention to detail. Upon entering the upper triplex—a 4-bedroom, 3-full-bath, 2-half-bath residence—through a warm wooden foyer you are greeted by a grand, elegant staircase. The spacious parlor level opens into a light-filled living area featuring a wood-burning fireplace and original moldings throughout. Adjacent to the living room is the dining area, which flows seamlessly into the beautifully designed open kitchen, offering full glass views of the serene backyard. A discreetly placed powder room adds convenience. The kitchen itself is equipped with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, and top-of-the-line appliances, including a Fisher Paykel paneled French door refrigerator, a six-burner Wolf stove with pot filler, a paneled dishwasher, microwave drawer, and wine cooler—making it a chef’s paradise. Ascending the stairs, the second and third floors house four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The primary suite faces the tranquil backyard and boasts three large windows and an expansive walk-thru closet. The luxurious five-piece en-suite primary bathroom features marble-tiled floors, a double vanity, a glass-enclosed double shower, a rain shower, and a deep soaking tub. Down the hall is another bedroom, ideal for use as a home office or nursery. On the top floor, two additional bedrooms await, including an en-suite bedroom with backyard views. A second full bathroom with a soaking tub serves the additional front bedroom. A side-by-side washer and dryer is located in the hallway for added convenience. The finished private basement, accessible via an interior staircase, offers versatile living space, complete with tile floors and a powder room. Whether transformed into a playroom, media den, or artist studio, this area provides endless possibilities. Additionally, the separate garden floor unit, a one-bedroom apartment, offers rental income or can be used as an in-law suite. Located on a picturesque, tree-lined street in the heart of Stuyvesant Heights, this masterfully re-imagined townhouse is just moments away from some of the neighborhood's best dining, including Daphne's, Chez Oskar, Saraghina, Peaches, and Corto. The area is also home to three local parks featuring playgrounds, basketball, and tennis courts. Public transportation options include the A/C train at Utica and the J train at Halsey, with JFK airport just a short 20-minute drive away.
