This three-story-plus-basement brownstone at 119 Hancock Street is located on a very distinguished Bed Stuy block with houses with scads of amazing detail such as 1880s walnut wood work and marble fireplaces. That’s the good news. The bad news is this house is an SRO and cannot be financed. It has details — under layers of paint and linoleum — but will need work to restore them. Do you think the sellers will get their ask of $1,295,000?

  1. The price of this house is beyond the max limits for a 203K loan. You might be able to find a savvy banker that can find you a traditional construction loan to finance this but it won’t be at 3.5% down and a FHA product.
