600 Hancock Street hit the market in April with an asking price of $650,000. With no deal done yet, the price was trimmed by $15,000 last week to $635,000. We’re not quite sure what to make of this place: Someone’s definitely put some care into renovating it, but we suspect that some of the decisions aren’t going to fly with a lot of buyers: There’s not nearly as much original detail as we’d hope to see in a house in this area and the plant-free backyard is a bit bleak for our tastes. Given these issues and the fact that the house is only 2 1/2 stories and less than 16 feet wide, we’re going to guess that the price will need some more trimming to get a deal done.

Rape couldn’t happen in Stamford? You’re a effin’ idiot!
right po’? wtf?!
*rob*
$650K for a workman’s shack in the heart of the ghetto a half mile from the nearest subway line?
OR, I could buy a house in Stamford a similar distance from the train station, not pay city income tax, not get shot, not worry about my daughter getting raped, and have a faster commute on a metro north train!
that woman needs an editor.
Is the first floor split into two studios? Looks like the space closest to the back yard is an efficiency without a real kitchen.
Tax class is tw family (converted from one); last C of O is 1 family (old code). And there is no facade shot at all on the listing page – the one above looks to be from PropertyShark.
This house depresses me, not sure why.
I don’t know Bed Stuy very well, but this listing looks like a better deal to me.
