Description

Fairhaven Heights' iconic James Babcock House - a classic Victorian Gothic mansion rich in history and architectural beauty. Rumored to have once hosted Abraham Lincoln, this remarkable home features intricate arched woodwork along the eaves and high gables, large windows, and an abundance of original details throughout. Privately set on a serene interior lot with a secluded driveway connecting East Grand to Clifton Street, this is one of the original Fairhaven Heights estates. A wraparound porch welcomes you into a grand foyer with soaring 11-foot ceilings and a stunning staircase. The formal living room opens to an expansive great room showcasing exquisite woodwork and timeless character. The main level also offers a formal dining room, updated kitchen with butler's pantry, first-floor office with attached half bath, and a bedroom. Five fireplaces are thoughtfully placed throughout the home. Upstairs features eight bedrooms plus two studio apartments, each with its own private bath, along with a total of five full baths and two half baths. The detached two-car garage has been transformed into a wellness space with sauna, cold plunge, and workout area. Ample parking completes the property. Currently zoned for a sober living facility, this extraordinary estate also offers incredible potential as a private residence, bed and breakfast, or unique investment opportunity. A rare chance to own a true piece of Fairhaven Heights history.
