With northern exposure, a spacious entry foyer and inviting flow, this warm home welcomes its next owner with an open kitchen featuring handsome gray cabinetry complemented by poured concrete countertops and a hexagon mosaic tile backsplash, open shelving and full-sized appliances by GE, whirlpool & Frigidaire. The tastefully finished bathroom has a subway tile with a green glass accent, dark wood vanity and cork floors. Relax in a bright and spacious bedroom where one can comfortably fit a queen bed with additional furnishings. 237-39 Hancock Street is located close to playgrounds, Herbert Von King Park, community green spaces and an excellent selection of restaurants, bars, independent boutiques and shops in the area including Peaches Hothouse, Café Calaca, Fat Doughnuts, L’Antagoniste and Saraghina Pizza and Bakery.
