PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Welcome to this beautiful Victorian home that has been lovingly maintained while being used as a single family home AND an accounting office for over 30 years! R-2 zoning, the home is perfect for serving as both a residence and a professional office. This house is ideally located in the very desirable Schuylkill Haven area, just outside the business district- a short walk to the library, post office, pharmacy, banks, grocery store and more. Walk up the front steps past the beautiful flowering hydrangeas and wisteria onto the grand front porch, which is an excellent location to watch the town parades and fireworks, or gather for the annual Schuylkill Haven Borough Day celebration! Upon entering the foyer through the leaded glass front door, you will immediately notice the meticulous craftsmanship of the original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and abundance of woodwork that has been well preserved with the original combed finish! To your left sits the expansive living room with a decorative fireplace and classic Victorian bay windows with original interior wooden shutters. Pass directly from the living room through the two stunning double-swinging 18-paned glass French doors into the formal dining room; perfect for gatherings and entertaining. The formal elegance is offset by a recently installed modern light fixture. Beyond the dining room sits the kitchen for this Victorian gem! A complete renovation of the kitchen and laundry room in 2020 included new solid wood cabinets, black stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, open shelving, and black and white luxury vinyl plank flooring. This fun kitchen renovation is where the owner let her imagination run wild! Don't miss the pass-through cupboard between the kitchen and dining room! Conveniently located, the laundry room and pantry are right off the kitchen, featuring plenty of storage space, a beautiful old laundry tub, and a built-in laundry table as well! Step out the back door from the kitchen and find a fantastic outdoor space including a spacious patio surrounded by beautiful gardens and white picket fenced yard. There is plenty of room for outdoor dining and entertaining. From the side enter this space through the restored wrought iron gate. In the back there is off-street parking for 4 cars. The other half of the downstairs holds the office space and main downstairs bathroom. The office area was renovated in 2019 with new carpeting, fixtures and paint. This room has a separate side exterior entrance, an 8' solid wooden pocket door that opens to the foyer and living room, and two magnificent floor to ceiling walk-out windows onto the front porch. This current office area could be used for a home office, 1st floor bedroom, home gym, rec room, or whatever else you can imagine! Behind the office sits the main first floor bath renovated in 2016. The bath features the same luxury vinyl plank flooring that is found in the kitchen and laundry room . The entire 1st floor was remodeled over the past 8 years to give the home a more modern yet traditional look, one that fits the Victorian style of the home. Upstairs you will find four well-appointed bedrooms, each with wide-plank hardwood floors. The primary bedroom has the same classic Victorian bay windows as the living room with the original wooden shutters. Notice that the front windows in the upstairs bedrooms have vintage colored glass designs built right in, each one being uniquely different. The upstairs bathroom houses a vintage-inspired pull-chain toilet and a stunning claw foot tub as its centerpiece! The second floor also holds a large walk-in closet and a smaller original walk-in closet. But there's more! The third floor has a finished room with carpet and heat- a great flex space for a 5th bedroom, den, or retreat; the possibilities are endless! This home really is the best of both worlds; the convenience of in-town living with a fantastic outdoor space! Schedule your showing today.
