About This Home

As of November 2022

Welcome to 557 East High Street, Pottstown! This immaculate 2-unit, multi-family, mixed-use property is truly one of a kind and must see! The property is split with the first floor being a luxurious and well-appointed salon and the second floor being a renovated two bedroom apartment. As you approach the property, the first thing you notice is the 6+ car, off-street parking, on the newly paved and fenced in area in the rear of the home. Entering the property from the front on High Street, you are met with beautiful hardwood floors, an abundance of natural light, exposed brick, and all of the character you would hope to find from an early 1800s home without any of the deferred maintenance you would expect to see. The salon boasts a kitchenette, 3 wash/dry stations, a large bathroom which has room to add a shower, bonus flex room, laundry, which makes converting back to a first floor apartment a breeze. The opportunities are endless. The salon also boasts wide, ADA compliant doorways, and ramp in the rear. Ascending to the second floor apartment, which can be accessed from the first floor or the rear, you enter into the kitchen with new luxury vinyl plank flooring, granite countertops, shaker style cabinets, and plenty of space to prepare meals - this kitchen makes cooking and entertaining a joy. The second story also features a large living room, bathroom, bedroom, and a ton of storage which not only makes this even more unique for a property of this age, but provides the ability to add additional laundry facilities to the upstairs apartment. The third level provides the 2nd bedroom, unique architecture and much additional storage. Additional features include: 2-zone HVAC throughout, split utilities, convenient commute to Reading, Allentown, King of Prussia, and anywhere you would like to go via routes 422 or 100. With many additional features, do not let this home get away, schedule a showing today! Do not enter property without being accompanied by agent and without showing approval.
