Washington Heights 'Pumpkin House' Hits Market At Reduced Price

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, NY — "The Pumpkin House" of Washington Heights hit the market days ago at a $1 million discount since its last listing.

The home, located at 16 Chittenden Avenue near West 186th Street, is one of the more unique properties in Washington Heights. The three-story home is built to hang over a cliff overlooking the Hudson River and resembles a jack-o-lantern when viewed from the New Jersey side of the Hudson. Because the home hangs off a cliff, it features some of the best Hudson River views in all of Manhattan.

The home itself isn't too shabby either. The Pumpkin House embraces "old world elegance, artistry and design" according to a realtor.com listing. Some of those luxury features include a secret garden and a two-car garage for private parking.
