The Castle — A Historic Scranton Landmark with Exceptional Potential Welcome to The Castle, a rare and architecturally distinctive three-story historic residence in Scranton’s sought-after Greenridge neighborhood. Built between 1898 and 1900 as the private residence of architect Edwin L. Walter, this remarkable home showcases the craftsmanship, scale, and character of a true turn-of-the-century estate. Constructed with coordinating brickwork and hand-cut stone, the home’s castle-like exterior features a striking stone turret, rounded rooms, open staircases, and architectural details rarely found in today’s market. Walter’s work is deeply connected to Scranton’s architectural history, and this property offers an extraordinary opportunity to restore a one-of-a-kind residence. Situated on a quiet one-way street approximately 8–10 minutes from downtown Scranton, The Castle occupies three oversized city lots and includes private off-street parking for up to 10 vehicles—a highly desirable and uncommon feature in this historic neighborhood. The spacious interior includes 7 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, along with generous rooms, open staircases, and distinctive period design elements. Beginning in 2002, the property underwent restoration intended to return the home to its original single-family layout. Major updates include commercial-grade electrical wiring, updated plumbing, new sheetrock, a new staircase, partially replaced windows, two newer air-conditioning units, a new kitchen, and installed ductwork for central air. Interior work remains unfinished, presenting a unique opportunity for a restoration-minded buyer to complete the home according to their personal vision. This exceptional property may be ideal as a grand private residence or, subject to zoning, municipal approval, licensing, and permits, could offer potential for a distinctive professional setting such as a legal office, medical or wellness practice, dental office, therapy practice, real-estate brokerage, property-management office, or other permitted professional use. The property is being sold strictly as-is. Clear title and a favorable licensed engineering report are available, offering added confidence for buyers considering restoration, financing, or future development.
