About This Home

As of February 2026

Unlock incredible value and immediate equity with this 1890 stately Queen Anne-style home, a true diamond in the rough strategically priced well below its assessed value. 97 Whitney Ave represents a significant opportunity for those with a vision for restoration. The home retains its original soul through soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, a classic slate roof, and elegant architectural details. You will fall in love with the grand, fireplaced foyer featuring a staircase illuminated by a stunning original stained glass window. The property sits on a prominent corner lot just steps from the open green spaces and playgrounds of Gage Park, McAuliffe Elementary, and Robinson Middle School. This location shines for outdoor enthusiasts, offering close proximity to Riverfront Park and the Merrimack River Bike Path. The home is currently heated via electric baseboard, and the seller has never used the fireplaces. Roll up your sleeves and restore a piece of Lowell's history. Sold as-is
