17 Barnum Place is the Carriage House for the Historic Welles Mansion at 28 W. South St. in downtown Wilkes-Barre. Great house with an even more awesome garage below. (Garage optional) The Welles Mansion Carriage House is a place where 1890's elegance meets contemporary downtown Wilkes-Barre living. An unexpected haven amid the River Street Historic District, this red-brick property overflows with natural light and radiates warmth. After remodeling, this much-sought-after property is entering the market for rent for the first time in generations. Perfect for a downtown working professional or small family. As a resident of this carriage house, you will feel part of something special, living in a home as individual you. This property is located in one of the safest parts of Wilkes-Barre, in the heart of Wilkes University (you'll always see campus security), across from an Air Force ROTC headquarters (you'll always see cadets in uniform) and next to a United States Courthouse (you'll always see U.S. Marshals). This second-floor apartment includes three bedrooms, an office/den, living room, and remodeled kitchen and bathroom. Off-street parking available. Downtown Wilkes-Barre is experiencing a renaissance with people flocking to live, work and play in Center Center. Within blocks of the carriage house, you'll be able to shop at a full scale department store, Boscovs, and other shops. You can stroll down the ever-popular "Restaurant Row," which includes French, Italian, Thai, Indian, Jamaican, and Japanese eateries, along with some fantastic pizza parlors. In one place, you can even dine in an old bank vault. Rent starting at $1,675 per month. Get in touch to take a look before it's gone. History awaits you.
