  Welcome to 1242 Hancock Street - A Boutique Condominium of Distinction   Discover an exceptionally reimagined three-residence condominium that blends timeless Brooklyn character with contemporary sophistication. Behind its stately prewar facade, 1242 Hancock Street honors the architectural integrity of the neighborhood while offering a tranquil retreat just one block from Irving Square Park.   Residence 1 is a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom duplex home featuring a large private yard and spans just over 1,600 square feet with south-east facing windows.  As you enter the home, you're greeted by a sense of intention that just feels right. You are initially greeted by a comfortably open living space just off the kitchen on the parlor level.   The kitchen is truly the pinnacle of this residence - showcasing lustrous off-white cabinetry paired with sleek yet sultry dark marble countertops providing an abundance of counter space and storage. Polished yet understated, the gold hardware adds a timeless touch to the cabinets, seamlessly complementing the kitchen fixtures. This chef's kitchen comes equipped with all top-of-the-line Fisher Paykel appliances including a gas range, vented microwave, and a paneled, French door refrigerator and dishwasher.   The first full bathroom off the living room boasts a sage green Zellige-inspired wall tile that pairs wonderfully with the brushed nickel hardware and fixtures, anchored by a neutral wooden vanity.   Two well-appointed bedrooms are tucked at the rear of the home. The gracious primary suite boasts excellent light, a spacious walk-in closet, and a serene en-suite bath with floor-to-ceiling neutral tiling, sleek brass finishes, and a double vanity that offers both beauty and functionality. The primary bedroom also offers convenient access to the private yard.   Heading down to the lower level of the residence you'll find the recreation room offering essentially a large second entertainment space perfect for a den, gym, creative studio, and more as well as a half-bathroom.   The private yard provides a large tranquil oasis creating an inviting, relaxing space to unwind outdoors.     1242 Hancock Street is Situated a block away from Irving Square Park where the community convenes to enjoy a slice of nature within the city.    The property is located near an abundance of neighborhood favorites including Xoco-Latte Bushwick, Rosa's Steakhouse, Fazio's, Bricklyn Pizza, Money Cat Vietnamese, Thai Ros Thip, Alex's Luncheonette, and more.
