House of the Day: 404 Hancock Street
When we included 404 Hancock Street in a batch of Open House Picks in late July, it had just hit the market with an asking price of $1,200,000; now, six months later, the three-family brownstone is looking to fetch $990,000.

When we included 404 Hancock Street in a batch of Open House Picks in late July, it had just hit the market with an asking price of $1,200,000; now, six months later, the three-family brownstone is looking to fetch $990,000. The house has undergone a renovation which, while a little glossy and Home Depot-esque in terms of fixtures, looks to have been fairly comprehensive (at least for the completed portions—the listing alludes to the renovation not being finished yet). We suspect the price has further to fall. At this point, it’s going to take a special house to fetch a million bucks in this part of town and, while it has some very nice woodwork, it feels like some charm was lost in the renovation.

Thanks Guys. I’m really looking forward to joining the community. I really love Brooklyn.
Yeah man all one Brooklyn
my bad – confused with the other dude. amzi is the cabbie story dude who considers ft greene and ch and bed sty as one.
cute house but i think a tad too high – prob 800-850 does it but “not finished” leads to many questions. they prob will start cutting corners if someone engages them.
good luck all.
damn – and i thought amzi lived in clinton hill!
It is the last one in the group 252 Hancock is the house with the owner that died. That places needs a lot of work. I have a very close friend that lives in 250 next door and she is the one that told me about this place.
Which one in the group, Amzi? I’ve been in one, and it was amazing. Hope to see it. I’ve also been in twp of the ones in the group next to it going towards Marcy. These are all amazing houses.
Montrose the current owner of the Queen of Hancock told me that she had a problem with comps back then in the 1980s. That house did not have much in North Brooklyn to compare…
This Montrose Morris house is going to come on the market soon the 98 year owner just passed away a month ago and the kids all live out of state. It is such a nice home but it really need so much work. Still has much of the original deals:
