Unit 1 at 222 Hancock occupies the entire parlor, garden, and finished basement floors of a rare 20′ X 70′ townhouse on arguably the single best block in Bed Stuy. Offering 3127 square feet, this home offers as much space as many full townhouses, and due to it’s1200 s.f. footprint, your lifestyle will be far more horizontal than in a typical 4 story walkup.
Unit 1 is one of the grandest, and most lovingly restored condominium homes ever offered in Bed Stuy. It is a 3,127 square foot 3 Bedroom, 3 baths + 2 half bath triplex with an expansive deck, gas grill and an L shaped, 25′ wide backyard. The 70′ triple parlor floor is a true showpiece and an entertainer’s dream. It features soaring ceilings with original plaster details and over 1,250 square feet of entertaining, living, and dining space.
It has floors with original inlays, a pier mirror, original built-ins, pocket shutters, and beautiful antique mantle with a working gas fireplace. Rare stained glass windows are accented, flooding the apartment with natural northern and southern sunlight. The huge chef’s kitchen features high-end stainless steel appliances, a large statuary island and a breakfast bar area with stunning woodwork. On this level and just off the kitchen, is a wrap-around, 206 square foot deck, perfect for grilling and entertaining.
An exquisitely designed staircase leads down to the backyard perfect for relaxing and/or gardening. On the floor below are three very large bedrooms all with en-suite baths. The master bedroom suite includes two separate closets and an implacably designed master bathroom with double vanities, heated flooring, and steam shower. The stone lined wine cellar is temperature regulated and is perfect for wine connoisseurs!
The rec-room level has an additional working fireplace. The home has central AC; heat zoned by room, a washer/dryer, and video intercom. Conveniently surrounded by the best that Bed Stuy has to offer including trendy shops/restaurants (Peaches Hot House, Eugene & Company, Hart’s, Saraghina, Black Swan, Le Paris Dakar, Bed-Vyne Brew). The C, and A express train (which will get you to Manhattan faster than the C from Clinton Hill!) and the LIRR are extremely close.
This home is a superb townhouse alternative offering horizontal living, preserved detail, and a location that is difficult to match.
