This majestic property, currently flourishing as a fully operational Bed & Breakfast, stands as a testament to the architectural genius of Raymond Freeburg, a renowned architect from Western New York and a native of Jamestown. Spanning an impressive 14 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms (15 full, 2 half), this establishment is not just a remarkable piece of real estate but a slice of Jamestown’s rich history. Described by Leo Ludwig in 1952 as “unquestionably the finest apartment house in the city,” it captures the essence of luxury and historical significance.
The origins of this property trace back to the foundational history of Jamestown, being part of the initial acres acquired in 1809 by James Prendergast, the city’s namesake. Its grandeur is matched by its expansive living spaces, including a large kitchen, formal dining room, spacious living room, inviting outdoor patios, comfortable lounge areas, and a recreational room, all designed to cater to a luxurious living experience.
The sale of this breathtaking property includes all furnishings, appliances, and maintenance equipment, with the exception of some personal items belonging to the owner, ensuring a seamless transition for the new proprietor. The third floor, thoughtfully renovated by the current owner of the Bed & Breakfast, offers a private suite that would perfectly suit as an upscale mother-in-law suite, adding to the versatility and appeal of the estate.
Listed at $675,000, this 10,000 square foot property located at 1103 W 3rd St, Jamestown, NY 14701, is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history reimagined for modern hospitality.
