Welcome to Whitney Tavern! Great opportunity to restore a piece of history! Said to have been built in the late 1700’s, this historic home served as a one of the first taverns in the area and a waypoint from 1801 to 1883. This magnificent home features 3,800 sq ft of living over 3 floors, and includes so many unique rooms, fixtures, trim, and fireplaces. Some updates have been done throughout the years but the home is still in need of major renovations. Sitting on over 15 acres of beautiful land (several acres already cleared) could be great opportunity for barn or horse property.
