A revolutionary real estate listing John Hancocks former Boston home is up for grabs

The Ebenezer Hancock House, associated with founding father John Hancock, is back on the market after being owned by a law firm for nearly 50 years. Built in 1767, the property features 5,748 square feet and is recognized on the National Registry of Historic Places. Hancock, known for his prominent signature on the Declaration of Independence, sold the house in 1785. The home has served various purposes over the years, including a boarding house and a museum, showcasing its rich history. Realtor Dave Killen noted the importance of finding an owner who appreciates the building's historical significance.

The property is assessed at $1. 6 million, but no listing price has been made public. Located near City Hall and the Green Dragon Tavern, the house offers potential for mixed-use development. This listing presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Boston's revolutionary history.
