Beautiful Victorian Second Empire detached single-family home in central Pottsville, built around 1900. This 5-6 bedroom, 2.5 bath home sits on a rare lot with gardens on all four sides, offering privacy and separation from neighbors, and is just a block from Garfield Square and within walking distance of shops and bakeries on W Market and Centre Streets.
The home has been lovingly preserved and restored with historic details including a tiled foyer, solid wood doors with etched glass, and 11-foot ceilings. The main floor features original hardwood floors, a wide open layout, a living room with gas fireplace, and a dining room. The kitchen has been fully modernized with stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator, induction cooktop, wall oven, built-in microwave, granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, and a four-sided prep island with seating for three. It overlooks the gardens on three sides and opens to a “secret garden” and patio deck with a water feature and brick patio.
A convenient half bath is located in the mudroom near custom cabinetry and the U-shaped staircase with carved wood banisters. The second floor includes a sun-filled primary suite with 10-foot ceilings, a brand-new ceiling fan, a recently remodeled ensuite bath with extra-wide jetted tub, 6-foot walk-in shower, double vanity, and extensive closet cabinetry. Full-size washer and dryer are conveniently located in the primary bath. Also on this level are a second large bedroom and a flexible third room currently used as a nursery/home office, with built-in bookshelves and access through wood-and-glass dividing doors.
The third floor includes three more bedrooms and a full bath, connected by a bifurcated staircase. The largest bedroom has room for a king bed, a built-in nook, and a wall-length built-in desk or counter. Two additional bedrooms are separated by a sliding barn door, with one containing the third-floor bathroom. The top floor has 9-foot ceilings and feels bright and airy.
