If your wish list starts with MORE SPACE FOR YOUR MONEY, this home changes the equation. The beautifully restored Furrier Mansion offers the size, character, upgrades and amenities that are incredibly difficult to recreate at this price point. With 4–5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, soaring ceilings, expansive living spaces, a showpiece kitchen, three-car off-street parking and major systems already completed, this is an opportunity to own substantial square footage without taking on years of renovations.
Located along High Street near Pottstown’s historic Rosedale section, this area is known for its impressive early-1900s architecture, substantial residences and tree-lined streets. Nearby are notable historic properties, including Three Sisters Bed & Breakfast with convenient access to downtown Pottstown’s restaurants, entertainment, parks, the Schuylkill River Trail and major routes.
Inside, original character has been thoughtfully preserved while the home has been reimagined for modern living. 10½-foot ceilings span the first floor, with 9-foot ceilings above, complemented by refinished original red pine floors, restored banisters and newel posts, curated lighting and a functional open layout.
The chef’s kitchen centers around an oversized 9+ foot island with seating on two sides and includes a gas range beneath a 36-inch gourmet vent hood, drawer microwave, steel-interior dishwasher, oversized undermount sink, mixer cabinet, abundant storage and a custom walk-in pantry accessed through the original Furrier glass door. CHOOSE YOUR REFRIGERATOR from available options, plus a KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer in Ink Blue is included. This kitchen gets drenched in natural light due to the large windows with transom windows.
The primary suite is a true retreat featuring an impressive 20-foot double-sided walk-in closet, quartz folding counter, dressing area with original Furrier mirrors and a spa-inspired ensuite bath. A dedicated second-floor laundry room adds convenience and additional storage.
The major improvements are where this home’s value really shines. Updates include NEW 200-amp electrical service, all-new PEX and PVC plumbing, a new sewer lateral, dual-zone HVAC, all-new double-hung windows and new roofing backed by manufacturer and labor warranties. Permits were pulled and closed out, allowing the next owner to enjoy the home rather than inherit a lengthy project list. Borough resale inspection also completed.
Outdoor living includes a newly constructed 28' x 8' covered side porch, second-floor deck accessible from the primary suite and optional fifth bedroom, concrete patio, restored front porch with original gingerbread trim, paver walkways, fenced front and rear yards, newly seeded lawn and a brand-new three-car off-street parking area.
The full-height basement offers ceilings exceeding seven feet with excellent storage, workshop space or future finished-space potential.
Finding this much house at this price point is rare. Finding it with this level of restoration, character, major-system improvements, parking and outdoor space is even harder. The Furrier Mansion offers the scale of a much more expensive home with the peace of mind of knowing the heavy lifting has already been done.
