King of the Hill-
What a rare opportunity to secure a circa 1915 (educated guess) home, built with the finest craftsmanship that money could buy at the time. Once owned by a wealthy local banker, there are a number of once beautiful features to be reclaimed and a number of impressive features still intact. Gorgeous Oak woodwork still exists throughout and “ten-foot ceilings” make for spacious rooms. Still includes original wavy-glass windows, cast iron radiators, pocket doors and a brick fireplace. Still has a tin roof on the front porch and the coolest little balcony off the Master bedroom. And the attic, oh the attic.
This is all perched atop Vestal Ave. and has great views of the architecturally beautiful high school and the Read Memorial Library. You can walk to just about everything here and Hancock is a safe little town. Walk to the Town Square, the Upper Delaware River, the grocery store, the post office, the historical society and everything Hancock has to offer. There is a fair amount of restoration work to be done. The garage needs a roof. The house needs paint and then some. But if you want to end up with one of the nicest homes in town and are willing to work for it, then this is just your place. $299,000
