Property Details

Description

Completely renovated 3 bedroom, 1 bath home off of thriving Bridge Street in downtown Phoenixville, all for under $300k…this one will NOT last! Set on a quiet street but less than a 5 minute walk to all the action downtown, this home has both historic charm and modern convenience. Believed to date back to 1854, it was originally built as employee housing for the Phoenixville Iron & Steel Company. In more recent times, it has remained in the same family since 1945 and has now been completely updated and is ready for the next owners. The original charm of home remains in elements like the Betsy Ross style stairs and front vestibule, while the new and extensive updates bring the home into the present. Entering the home, you are in the living room, the highlight of which is the fireplace. While no longer operational it hints at the extensive history of the home. Moving into the bright & sunny kitchen, you will appreciate that everything here is brand new – cabinets, countertops, appliances and flooring. While everything here is brand new, it is finished in a classic cherry that is both timeless and consistent with the history here. Before heading upstairs, take a moment to note the deep window wells. While attractive, this is also an indication of the thickness of the stone walls. This home is built of solid stone which is a big part of why it is so solid after 170 years. Heading upstairs you will find a large and bright primary bedroom with not one but two huge closets. The second bedroom is down the hall with it’s own generous closet and could easily function as a home office, nursery, yoga or exercise room. The newly renovated bath has beautiful custom tile and is filled with natural light. Heading up to the top level, you will discover a HUGE loft bedroom with its own walk-in closet. If you do not need this as a bedroom, it would be an amazing family room, home theater or home gym! Downstairs, you will find a full and dry unfinished basement. It offers a great workshop, new electric panel, laundry and direct access to the private yard. Outside, the fenced in yard is a great spot for relaxing, planting a garden or letting the dog run. A highlight of the yard is the generations old Wisteria tree, samples of which have been replanted in many yards in the area! Recent updates to the home include roof (2017), gutters & downspouts (2018), stucco on the rear addition (2022), kitchen (2017), bath (2018), flooring & carpet (2018), complete interior painting in neutral colors (2018), complete exterior painting (2024). When not relaxing in your gorgeous new home oozing with historical charm, stroll over to the action on Bridge Street to enjoy local favorites like Bluebird Distilling, Sedona Taphouse, Steel City Café, or the Colonial Theater. There is always something happening in downtown Phoenixville, which has been named one of the cutest small towns in Pennsylvania. Come experience all this home has to offer before it disappears!
