    What's special

    Rare to market architectural gem seeks new steward. The 'Whidden House', built by Stephen Huse Whidden, offers its new owner much of the original detail and character from 1864. This Second Empire style brick home features over 3100 sqft, 5 beds, and 3 full baths. The living room's 11 foot ceilings, original woodwork and pocket doors are juxtaposed to the well thought out kitchen that had been modernized with everything a modern chef could desire. A serene park like setting awaits in the rear yard. For those who like to be on top of things, the roof deck offers a getaway in the sky with views of the city. Original pine floors, 5 marble fireplaces and gilded mirrors are just some of the touches that have kept this home off the market for almost 40 years.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
