About This Home

As of September 2017

Impressive and stately Stone Farmhouse overlooking the scenic Manatawny Creek and popular Colebrookdale Railroad Secret Valley Tourism Line. Steeped in history, the approximately 4,000 square foot, beautiful, circa 1800 home served as a residence for the ironmaster of the neighboring since-demolished Glasgow Furnace which operated in the 18th & 19th centuries. Situated on a shaded knoll, the spacious home features a deep grand front porch, center hall with turned bannister staircase, high ceilings, deep windowsills, giant rooms including a 32 foot long Living Room, modern Kitchen with solid surface counters, 5 Bedrooms on the second floor, 2 full Bathrooms, plus an additional 4 large rooms with transomed doorways on the third floor. The 11.8 acre property includes 2 separate parcels: a 3+ acre tract zoned neighborhood-residential in Pottstown around the main home plus an 8.4 acre tract, mostly in adjoining West Pottsgrove Township. The Pottsgrove property which has direct access to the Circle of Progress Pottstown Airport Business Campus, includes a giant, over 5,000 sq.ft., commercial style garage with 4 overhead garage doors, high ceilings (800 sq.ft. second floor), and extensive workspace. The garage facility is perfect for the car collector enthusiast, serious hobbyist, plus the industrial zoning & level topography, large parking area and masonry construction would allow more business ventures as well. The scenic grounds include open lawn and wooded areas, a stone well house, and centuries-old stone wall remnants of likely the former Glasgow Ironworks that will capture your imagination. This great property offers a combination of character, craftsmanship, history, and opportunity.
