Property Description

Step back in time and discover a rare opportunity to restore a true architectural treasure. Known as the Ziegler House (Ziegler Residence), this remarkable home was designed by renowned Syracuse architect Ward Wellington Ward and built in 1915. Recognized for its architectural significance, the property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997 as part of the distinguished collection of Ward-designed residences. This 1½-story home is ready for its next chapter and offers an exceptional opportunity for restoration enthusiasts, preservationists, investors, or buyers looking to bring new life to a historic masterpiece. While the property requires renovations, many of its defining architectural features remain, including a stunning Mercer tile fireplace in the living room and what was recognized as one of the very few original Ward-designed kitchens still intact at the time of its historic designation. Adding to the property's uniqueness is the original detached garage, also designed by Ward, featuring a rare built-in automobile turntable—an innovative design element that allowed vehicles to rotate rather than back out. The turntable remains an extraordinary piece of architectural history. Historic homes of this caliber rarely become available. Whether your vision is to meticulously restore its original character or thoughtfully modernize while preserving its historic integrity, the Ziegler House presents an unmatched opportunity to own a piece of Syracuse's architectural heritage. Property is being sold as-is. Buyers should verify any historic preservation requirements, tax incentives, or renovation guidelines that may apply.
