Welcome to the Samuel Morgan House—an extraordinary chance to revive a historic 1824 landmark, gracefully poised on one of College Hill’s most coveted streets. Recognized for its historical and architectural significance, this quintessential Federal-style residence awaits a thoughtful, bespoke restoration. Step inside, where the home’s authentic character offers a truly blank canvas with a striking spiral staircase that serves as a sculptural centerpiece. A versatile layout unfolds across 3,500 square feet, featuring a classic triple parlor, six bedrooms, and three-and-a-half baths. Period details abound—from original wide plank flooring to fireplace mantels—each bearing the honest patina of centuries-old craftsmanship. Key groundwork has been laid, with a recently updated kitchen and most windows replaced in line with historic preservation standards. Below, a lower-level carport provides private entry to an unfinished, high-ceilinged basement, offering clear potential to create significant additional living space. The true value, however, lies in two irreplaceable assets: an A+ location nestled between Prospect Hill Park and Meeting Street, and the sweeping, protected skyline views that are among the best in the city. Bring your architect and your vision to revive this historic gem and craft one of College Hill’s most enviable private residences.
