Built

1896

A remarkable piece of Haverhill history, this grand Queen Anne Victorian was built in 1896 for Myron Whitcomb and later thoughtfully renovated/restored by The Frieswick family. Celebrated for its exceptional architecture and craftsmanship, the residence stands among the city’s most impressive historic homes. From the moment you enter, the scale, artistry, and attention to detail are unmistakable. Highlights include richly detailed mahogany woodwork, intricate carvings, leaded glass cabinetry, stained glass windows, oak and parquet flooring, and six fireplaces. Original wainscoting, including sections accented by Grecian columns, adds character throughout, crown molding, beamed ceilings, and original hardware and light fixtures further showcase the home’s period craftsmanship. The dramatic staircase and surrounding stained glass are particularly striking. Additional historic details include original marble sinks, a first- and second floor foyer, and a butler’s pantry. While preserving its historic character, the property has also benefited from important modern improvements, including Hardie Plank siding and a new heating system. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved Victorian residence where architectural history, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance come together.
