Description

The Peck House — Historic Queen Anne Victorian in Carbondale A rare opportunity to own one of Carbondale's most notable historic homes. The Peck House is a 3,100 sq ft Queen Anne Victorian built between 1880-1890 by Earl M. Peck and once regarded as ''one of the finest houses in Carbondale.'' Situated on a double corner lot at Washington Street and Salem Avenue, the property includes a 4-car driveway, a 2-car garage, and prominent curb appeal. This 5-bedroom, 2-bath home features original Victorian craftsmanship throughout. Highlights include multiple fireplaces, stained-glass windows, pocket doors, Victorian wainscoting, an intact servant staircase, and a parlor fireplace framed with rare antique tile. Classic details are paired with authentic 1960s/1970s-era features, offering a unique blend of history and mid-century character. The home does need some work to bring it back to its granger, but the architectural integrity and preserved details provide exceptional potential. The main level includes a vestibule, family room, living room, formal dining room, and a sealed butler's pantry that can be reopened to restore original flow. The full-footprint attic offers finishing potential, and the large unfinished basement provides additional usable space. Included with the property are original 19th-century skeleton keys and several artifacts discovered on the grounds, adding to its historic appeal. In 140+ years, only four families and six individual owners have lived in this home.built for Earl M. Peck—who advanced through the Delaware & Hudson Railroad and later served as president of The Dime Bank—this property remains an important part of Carbondale's architectural history. A true landmark ready for its next steward. Ideal for buyers seeking a distinctive, character-rich home with restoration potential.
