Nestled in the heart of landmarked Bed-Stuy, this historically significant Romanesque Renaissance Revival mansion, originally designed by architect Peter Lauritzen for clothier Wilson Randolph in 1890, personifies classic style and historic charm. Enter this inviting 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom home located on the second floor and you'll immediately be struck by such standout features as towering 10' 10" ceilings, wide plank pine floors in the living area and kitchen, crown and baseboard moldings and an inviting open kitchen to host friends and family alike. The updated and airy space offers a cozy bedroom with original parquet oak floors with inlayed border and is separated from the main living area by an oversized repurposed and restored antique door hung on sliding tracks. The living area is large enough for dining that comfortably sits 6 or more, a separate sitting area and a sizable entry foyer. Enjoy the open kitchen with butcher block countertops, a breakfast bar, plenty of open shelving to the ceiling, newly painted cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a Smeg refrigerator and a farmhouse sink. The sweet bathroom tucked away by the kitchen offers updated fixtures, an oversized medicine cabinet, black and white floor tile and subway-tiled walls. Rear-facing and quiet, this unit benefits from a new paint job throughout, as well as sanded and refinished floors, brand new windows and a new dishwasher. 237-39 Hancock Street is located just one block from thriving Tompkins Ave. in central Bed-Stuy and is in close proximity to restaurants, bars, independent boutiques, and shops, including Peaches Hothouse, Caf Calaca, Fat Doughnuts, LAntagoniste, and Saraghina Pizza and Bakery.
