Overview

Description

Location, size and endless potential, right in the heart of King's College! 53 W Union St is a 6-bedroom, 2-bathroom property with approx. 4,100 sq ft across 3 floors. It sits on the same street as student housing and college administration buildings, just steps from downtown Wilkes-Barre. This property needs work, but for the right buyer that's the opportunity. Restore it into a stately single-family home with room for a large family, guest rooms and home offices. With six bedrooms in the middle of campus, it could also work well as student housing, with demand right outside the front door. Or use all three floors as professional office space for a business, practice or organization that wants a presence in the college district. Properties with this kind of size and location rarely come to market this close to campus. Bring your vision and your contractor, and bring this Wilkes-Barre classic back to its original glory.
