House of the Day: 242 Hancock Street
Go Jerry! The Minsk Man comes up with the most exciting listing we’ve seen in a long time. Architecture fans should be tripping over themselves to get ahold of this Montrose Morris gem.

Go Jerry! The Minsk Man comes up with the most exciting listing we’ve seen in a long time. Architecture fans should be tripping over themselves to get ahold of this Montrose Morris gem. We braved a Springtime rain storm back in April to appreciate this stretch of Morris-designed houses. Number 242 is one of three Mansard-roofed houses in the five-house row. As for real estate stats, the 4,200-square-foot, 2-family house is asking $879,000. From the photos, it looks like it could certainly use a tune up but nothing dramatic. Despite the sagging market, we bet this place will go very quickly.

Bed Stuy Do or Die!
Shout out to Bushwick Bill and old school rap~~~~~!!!!!
I live right around the corner from this house and I love the neighborhood. Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in NYC. Bushwick is fine. Very hip these days. 5:33, don’t worry…nobody is asking you to chance living in Bed Stuy. Heaven forbid!
this is a really bad area dare i say Ghetto.
Anon 4:28pm – you’re making it sound easy. Either you’ve obtained a variance which is getting increasingly difficult to get these days or your children have tested in to Hunter/Anderson or are of high school age and in one of the selective schools. I cannot chance living somewhere like Bed Stuy with failing zoned schools and hoping against hope that each one of them will get into a school in a good school district. That would make me a very irresponsible parent.
So So Sensitive. There are some great houses in Park Slope.. and guess what, it ain’t where I wanna be.
I’d rather live in Bed-Stuy. Right smack dab in between the Crappy G train and the increasingly slow C train.
🙂
Can someone every have a preference without setting off a riot?
Geesh!
Anon 1PM, I live in Bed Stuy and my children go to public school in Manhattan. If there is a will there is a way.
Anon 1pm here. I wouldn’t move to Bed Stuy for a lot of reasons – chief among them, the school question. But it is a beautiful, beautiful house.
Whatever. I’m sure plenty of people think where I live looks a bit ghetto and is not for them, but I’m not offended by it. To each his own. 1pm doesn’t want to buy a house on Hancock in Bed Stuy. I can respect that.
I love the layout of the rooms. It’s not the typical brownstone layout.
