Property Description
truly special victorian home, offering the opportunity to own a piece of historic Pottstown while
enjoying the flexibility to offset your mortgage through short-term, medium-term, or long-term
rental possibilities.
Outside you'll be greeted by stone columns leading to expansive covered porch beneath the
home's one-of-a-kind bell tower. An ornate stained-glass window accents the classic double-
doored vestibule, welcoming you into an impressive foyer where the craftsmanship of another
era is on full display. As you enter the parlor, you're greeted by ornate hardwood flooring, a stone
fireplace, chandelier, and an extraordinary original staircase that climbs alongside a magnificent
two-story stained-glass window. The colorful glass fills the staircase and parlor with natural light,
creating a breathtaking focal point that defines the heart and character of the home. Original
millwork, soaring 10.5-foot ceilings, and 19th century craftsmanship have stood the test of time
here, and the warmth throughout is undeniable.
The main level offers a gracious formal living room with a gas fireplace and classic wooden
mantle adorned by antique mirrors, a formal dining room, and an expansive kitchen with a two-
tier island, Sub-Zero refrigerator, abundant cabinetry and counter space. Tucked into the kitchen
is a charming dining nook surrounded by stained-glass windows. A spacious powder room with
timeless penny tile and sconce lighting, and an expansive laundry room with space for pantry
storage and use as a mud room make the first floor as functional as can be hoped for.
Upstairs, the second floor features three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms. To your right, a primary suite with
abundant natural light, a walk-in closet, and a private bathroom - complete with a double vanity
and walk-in shower. The other two bedrooms share a large sunny and timeless full bathroom
with full tub, penny and original subway tile.
The third floor features what could be separate living quarters or an extension of the larger home.
With exposed beams, a stone wall, two bedrooms, a living room, kitchenette, dining room and a
bell tower sitting space to soak up the views of historic Hanover Street below, this space will
resonate with renters and guests alike. A private rear entry allows for privacy and convenience.
Outside, the English garden-style backyard offers a stone patio, raised garden beds, and a curved
walkway leading to the detached two-car garage. The garage also features a substantial loft
space, offering excellent storage and the potential to create a studio or additional living space.
This is a home with stories to tell, architectural details to remember, and
plenty of opportunity for its next owner to make it their own. Some updating and improvements
will allow you to further enhance its beauty while making it yours.
Just a short stroll from High Street's restaurants, breweries, theater, and parks, with convenient access to major
roadways and public transportation, 172 N. Hanover is a rare combination of historic charm,
versatility, and potential. Airbnb revenue reports available upon request.
