## Property Overview

Welcome to 690 Hancock Street, a classic Brooklyn brownstone located on a beautiful tree-lined block in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant. This two-family townhouse offers a rare opportunity for both investors and end-users seeking a move-in-ready property with upside in one of Brooklyn's most desirable brownstone neighborhoods.

 Configured as a six-bedroom, three-bathroom home, the property will be delivered vacant at closing, giving the next owner full flexibility to design the ideal layout-whether as a strong income-producing investment, a multi-family residence, or a spacious owner's home with rental income.

 The home is currently in move-in condition, while still presenting an excellent opportunity for thoughtful updates that can significantly increase value over time. With its classic brownstone proportions, generous living spaces, and original architectural character, this property offers the perfect canvas to create a stunning Brooklyn residence.

 Beyond the home itself, Bedford-Stuyvesant-often referred to as Bed-Stuy-is one of Brooklyn's most iconic neighborhoods, celebrated for its historic brownstones, charming stoop-lined blocks, and vibrant community atmosphere. The neighborhood is known for having one of the largest collections of preserved Victorian brownstones in the country, giving the area its distinctive architectural character and charm.

 690 Hancock Street presents an exceptional opportunity to own a classic Brooklyn brownstone with strong investment potential in one of Brooklyn's most vibrant and historic neighborhoods.

 Residents enjoy an incredible mix of local cafes, restaurants, and neighborhood favorites nearby, including Saraghina, Hart's, A&A Bake & Doubles, and David's Brisket House, along with boutique coffee shops, bakeries, and neighborhood wine bars that have made Bed-Stuy one of Brooklyn's most exciting dining destinations.

 Transportation is convenient with multiple subway options nearby, including the A and C trains at Nostrand Avenue and Utica Avenue, the G train at Bedford-Nostrand Avenues, and the J train at Halsey Street, providing easy access to Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn.

 The neighborhood also offers a number of nearby schools and educational institutions including Brooklyn Brownstone School, Bedford Academy High School, and Boys and Girls High School, along with parks and community spaces that add to the strong neighborhood feel.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Sales data through August 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3016620028. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
