Some old houses announce their importance immediately; others reveal it one detail at a time, and The Peck House belongs to the latter.
Built between 1880 and 1890 by Earl M. Peck and once regarded as “one of the finest houses in Carbondale,” this Queen Anne Victorian still carries the visual language of its era in stained glass, Victorian wainscoting, natural woodwork, working pocket doors, and multiple fireplaces.
50 Washington St, Greenfield Township, Pennsylvania — $229,900
5 beds • 2 baths • 4,800 sq. ft. • Built between 1880–1890 • 0.16 acres • Queen Anne Victorian
Look closely at the parlor fireplace, where rare antique tile turns an everyday architectural feature into something closer to a piece of Victorian craftsmanship, while an intact servants’ staircase quietly preserves evidence of how a substantial household once functioned.
The house’s wraparound porch, high ceilings, crown molding, built-ins, and generous formal rooms reinforce that sense of a residence designed for both family life and entertaining rather than simply maximizing square footage. There are also three fireplaces, a walk-up attic, a full unfinished basement, and a second kitchen, details that speak to the practical layers accumulated by a large old house over generations.
The property sits on a rare double corner lot, accompanied by a two-car garage and additional off-street parking, giving the house more breathing room than its urban setting might suggest. But the Peck House is not being presented as a finished showpiece—the current owner is leaving the area before completing the work needed to restore it, and that unfinished condition is precisely what makes the surviving details so important.
Now offered at $229,900 after a $20,000 price reduction, this is a house for someone who can distinguish between what is merely old and what is genuinely worth saving. For the right buyer, The Peck House offers the chance to preserve stained glass, pocket doors, antique tile, wainscoting, woodwork, and a servants’ staircase—not as decorative period touches, but as the surviving pieces of a real 19th-century house whose story is not finished yet.
