About this property
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.

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
- How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
- Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
- Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
- Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
- What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
- For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
