1021 Richmont St, Scranton, PA 18509

The Castle is a uniquely beautiful historic estate, built between 1898 and 1900 by renowned architect Edwin L. Walter as his private residence. Deeply rooted in Scranton's architectural history, this remarkable three-story home reflects Walter's signature craftsmanship. He also designed the Scranton Town Hall and Town Court, among many other distinctive buildings. Using the same brickwork and hand-cut stone throughout the residence, Walter gave the home its unmistakable castle-like character. This was the first home built on the street, situated on a quiet one-way road just 8 to 10 minutes from downtown Scranton. The property spans three oversized city lots and includes a private parking area for up to 10 vehicles, a rare feature in this historic neighborhood. Beginning in 2002, the building was carefully restored to return it to Walter's original single-family design, with no changes to the structural integrity or engineering. Interior work remains unfinished, and the property is being sold in its current condition. Inside, The Castle offers spacious rooms, seven bedrooms, and three full bathrooms. Its open staircases, stone turret, and round rooms showcase exquisite craftsmanship and architectural elegance rarely seen today. Modern updates include new commercial-grade electrical wiring, updated plumbing, new sheetrock and staircase, partially new windows, two new air conditioning units, and a new kitchen. Ductwork for central air has already been installed. This property comes with clear title and a favorable licensed engineering report. This iconic home offers endless potential for restoration enthusiasts or anyone looking to revive a magnificent piece of Scranton's history. Its grand scale and open layout provide flexible options for modern living or creative reconfiguration for a large family, making The Castle an extraordinary opportunity for the right buyer.
