4 bedrooms | 2 baths | 4,500 square feet
Built in 1870
Sorry for the delay in listings, fiends. I’ve been hella busy lately, but I’m back with some more spooky house content. This 1870 gem known as the Whitney Mansion sits on 2.5 acres, has both ladies and gentlemen’s parlors, and a spiral staircase that really gets my motor running. I love the gloomy, yet elegant decor, with one bedroom having blood red colored walls and carpet. Swipe to the end for a throwback pic from 1927!
