Realtor Comments
This classic 1800’s Federal style house is one of the oldest homes in Hancock, NY. The location, in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Hancock, makes it prime for a full restoration. Major restoration is necessary, maybe a full gut job and foundation work, which is all reflected in the low price. The large lot is surrounded by stately Maples and has a couple of older Bluestone sidewalks. From the homes location, one can easily walk the entire village for exercise and visit the beautiful Louise Adelia Library, the Town Square, the architecturally significant Hancock Central School-to watch football, basketball or other sporting events or plays, or the world famous Upper Delaware River, or East Branch and West Branch of the Delaware for canoeing, kayaking or fly fishing. A great opportunity to fix it and flip it or make it your own home. Sold ‘as-is’ and won’t qualify for a mortgage – cash deal only. Only $49, 900.
