Indulge in the timeless charm of “The Castle”, an architectural masterpiece nestled in the heart of Scranton, PA. This unique residence bears the mark of a distinguished architect, known for his significant contributions to Scranton's cityscape, including the illustrious Town Hall and Town Court buildings. Originally erected in 1900, this four-story treasure spans an impressive 4,561 sqft and rests on three acres of land offering both beauty and privacy. Created initially as a multi-family building, it was masterfully converted in 2002 into a spacious single-family dwelling that accurately reflects the architect's initial vision. From the foundations to the roof, the home boasts robust and durable brick walls embedded with large, meticulously cut stones. Conveying a sense of symmetry and continuity, the identical stones are also featured in the Town Hall and Town Court buildings around Scranton. Beyond the striking exterior, the home has undergone meticulous renovations, coupling the old-world charm with modern amenities. The improvements include commercial-grade electrical wiring, new plumbing, sheetrock, contemporary staircase, and a water system overhaul. The roof has been redone with new shingles to endure the elements, and climatic comfort is guaranteed with two air conditioning units. The kitchen has also been fully updated, reflecting the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality. The property comes with ample parking space, accommodating up to 10 cars, a testament to its potential as a multi-family establishment. If one so chooses, permission is granted by the City Planning Board to turn the building into a three-family rental unit. Although currently requiring some internal and external finishing touches, “The Castle” is an unpolished gem awaiting the right custodian to bring it to its full potential. Recognized for its historical and architectural value, this home carries a clear title with mortgage responsibilities concluded years ago. This gives you a unique opportunity to own a part of Scranton’s history, and create a beautiful future within its storied walls.
