The property was originally built for railroad superintendent James Corcoran Higgins, and it’s still owned by one of his direct descendants.
But that may not be the case for much longer.
In recent years, the building has operated as a bed-and-breakfast, boasting five bedrooms and bathrooms.
However, the 3,288-square-foot Higgins House was listed over the weekend, pinned with an asking price of $790,000.
“It can continue as a cherished bed & breakfast or function beautifully as a private family estate,” the listing reads. “Curb appeal is unmatched with fresh exterior paint, a brick walkway, colorful flower beds, and fragrant gardenias that perfume the front porch.”
Other features detailed in the listing are as follows:
- A sweeping staircase and lined with hand-carved turned spindles in the grand foyer
- A spacious parlor sporting a gas fireplace, an oversized mantle, an antique chandelier, and French doors for privacy
- A central dining room with a fireplace that opens up into the kitchen
- The kitchen is outfitted with custom cabinetry, a gas range, catering drawer refrigerators, subway tile backsplash and quartz countertops
- A study and laundry room tucked near the back of the home
