Description

Welcome to Box Holly Cottage! Imagine stepping back in time to a beautifully preserved home circa 1899. As you approach this 3-story brick Georgian Home, the natural stained millwork and columned front porch welcome you, evoking a sense of craftsmanship rarely seen today. The house features a distinctive gambrel roof, now topped with grand manor shingles installed in 2010, adding a touch of modern durability to its historic charm. Upon entering, the warmth of knot-free cypress woodwork greets you, complemented by hardwood floors that stretch through the entire home. Twin parlors, separated by a large, amazing foyer and elegant French doors, showcase intricate natural wood finishes and invite gatherings or quiet moments of reflection in a setting filled in light from large, bright windows. Though the home retains its 19th-century elegance, modern updates have been seamlessly integrated. The kitchen, renovated and equipped with a mini-split AC system, offers a comfortable blend of history and modern convenience. Central air cools the 2nd level of this home, and updates to the electrical and plumbing systems in 2005 ensure everything is in top condition. This 6-bedroom, 1.5-bath beauty sits on a .34-acre lot, with enough space to breathe, yet it’s just blocks away from the historic charm of downtown Phoenixville and Reeves Park. Having only passed through two owners since 1955, this home carries with it the whispers of the past, a treasure rarely found, now on the market for the first time in decades. Every corner of this house shows you a piece of history. The dramatic double foyer brings you face to face with the original turned wood staircase and provides you entry to the Living Room via original French Doors, the Family Room via Original French Doors and the kitchen. This area provides you with a charming arched doorway, ornate chandelier and original hardwood flooring. This level features 9.5" ceilings, replacement windows, 12" baseboards, original hardwood flooring & a mini split. The family room is entered via original wood French Doors.
