About this home
Prominently situated in the Highlands, 878 Highland Avenue offers sweeping, unobstructed views of the city’s iconic North Park, the Taunton River, and the Braga Bridge. Known historically as the “Langley House” this distinguished Queen Anne style residence was built in 1896 with exceptional craftsmanship. It showcases period details throughout, including original brass door hardware, vintage chandeliers, a distinctive keyhole-shaped window, extensive moldings, and three intricately designed fireplaces. An expansive veranda welcomes you into the owner's unit, which gracefully extends across three levels of the home. A second unit is located on the first floor through a private side entrance. Although currently configured as a two-family residence, the home can be easily restored to its original single-family design. In the rear of the property, an additional driveway provides off-street parking and leads to a two-stall 1,400 sq ft carriage house which offers ADU potential.
