VICTORIA DICKINSON & ASSOCIATES

Description

Welcome to 130 Gay St where historic charm meets modern comfort. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Phoenixville, this stately brick twin home presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history. Built in 1880, this timeless residence boasts a commanding presence with its double front doors and inviting front porch. Step inside to discover a dramatic entrance hall that sets the tone for the home’s character. To the left can be found a double living room with Jefferson triple-sash windows stretching from ceiling to floor, providing plenty of natural light. High ceilings give a feeling of spaciousness to the living room and dining room. Next comes the formal dining room which has a side door that opens onto a charming side porch, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or evening breeze. Unique to a home that was built in the 1880’s, there is an architectural gem in the dining room, namely a back staircase which provides easy access to the upper level. A swinging door leads into a modern kitchen with bead board wainscoting, glass-doored cabinets, stainless steel sink, electric range, built-in microwave and fridge. An added bonus is the space-saver washer and dryer located in the corner of the kitchen. Also on this level, a cozy half bath has been tucked in under the stairs. Three bedrooms and the modern hall bath can be found on the 2nd floor with an additional 2 bedrooms on the third floor. Present owners have only used the third floor for storage. Both bedrooms need wallpaper removal and painting. One of the outstanding features of this property is its unbeatable location. With walkability to the eclectic downtown Phoenixville, Reeves Park, and the Public Library you will have everything you need right at your doorstep. Out back, a brick patio is surrounded by spring flowers and shrubs, dogwood trees and a butterfly bush, creating a peaceful area for relaxation and enjoyment. Public records only show 1833 square feet but an appraisal was done and the actual square footage is 2530 square feet. Don't miss your chance to own this classic home in the heart of Phoenixville.
