Looking to own a piece of history within walking distance of the Everett Theater, Art Galleries, Boutiques, top notch Restaurants, and even more of what Middletown has to offer, then look no further! This one of a kind Historic Home was built by Governor Biggs (Delaware's Governor as well as House Rep from 1869-1873) in 1877 and was spared no expense. Truly built to stand the test of time, this home was constructed with heartwood, not sapwood like today's homes. In addition, this mansion was designed and built as a status symbol, with 12 ft 1st floor ceilings, 10 ft on the second and 9ft on the third, 3 staircases and over 6000sqft; these features still rival any modern home today. The craftsmanship is truly one of a kind find with original antiques valued at over $20k throughout the home, it feels as if you stepped back in time the second you pass the threshold. The owners have spent years updating (Geo-thermal) while keeping alive the historical aspect. Truly a breathtaking must see mansion.
Directions:
If traveling west on Main St (299) once you pass the Everett Theater take next right (one way) on Cass St. Home is half way down on left.
