6 Bedrooms | 6 Baths | 10,590 Sq. Ft. | Built in 1870 | 1.04 Acres
Known as the Vistula Rose, this extraordinary 1870 mansion stands within Toledo’s Vistula Historic District and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In one of the property’s most remarkable chapters, Edward Drummond Libbey reportedly met Florence Scott at a party held here in 1887, an encounter that preceded Libbey’s relocation of his business to Toledo and helped set the stage for the city’s emergence as the “Glass City.”
The more than 10,000-square-foot residence showcases classic Italianate architecture, soaring 12-foot ceilings, three fireplaces, beautiful wood and hardwood floors, and an impressive sequence of formal and entertaining spaces.
Among its standout features are a grand library, chapel, formal dining room, multiple parlors, and a spectacular chef’s kitchen with an expansive island. The mansion was rescued from demolition in 2003, restored to its former grandeur, and subsequently operated for more than two decades as a boutique bed-and-breakfast and event property.
Today, its mixed commercial-and-residential zoning creates possibilities for continued hospitality use, a private residence, office space, or other permitted ventures, subject to applicable requirements. The 1.04-acre grounds include a private 5,000-square-foot parking area, four-car garage, gardens, courtyard, and substantial outdoor space in the heart of historic Toledo.
For a buyer seeking far more than an ordinary historic home, 802 N Huron Street offers the rare chance to steward a nationally recognized mansion whose architecture, history, and connection to Toledo’s industrial story make it a truly exceptional property.
