What is the difference a few years. The Nickel-Leong mansion, a historic Mount Washington house that was sold in damaged condition about two years ago, returned to the market after a 20-month recovery. The asking price is $ 2,197 million.
Located far from the road, the Greek Revival style house was built in 1905 for restaurant owner Max Nickel and later owned in the 1930s by the pioneer family of American-American architect Gilbert L. Leong. It would remain in the Leong family for more than half a century before selling in 1995 for $ 225,000, real estate records show.
