About This Home
As of June 2025This super sweet 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is full of cottage-like charm and offers a rare combination of cozy yet surprisingly generous living space! Enter through the front gate into a peaceful and private slice of heaven, where you’ll fall in love with the large and beautifully landscaped front yard complete with mature trees and lush plantings. Rumor has it the iron planter in the front yard was even forged at historic Phoenix Iron Company! The adorable front porch--the perfect spot to quietly enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine—welcomes you into this quaint home. But behind the quaint exterior is a surprisingly spacious living room with hardwood flooring and a large picture window that frames the view of the gorgeous front yard. The living room flows into a large dining area, also with hardwood flooring, allowing plenty of room for entertaining guests or simply spreading out. The hardwood flooring continues into the main bedroom, which features a large walk-in closet. The galley kitchen is thoughtfully laid out for efficient cooking, with the perfect footprint for preparing simple meals. A second bedroom, a recently refreshed full bath, and a laundry center complete the home. There’s no need to worry about storage with a detached, one-car garage offering a storage loft, easy access to the large, floored attic from the second bedroom, and a partial basement area. Location is everything here, as this home is just a short walk away from Bridge Street, the heart of Phoenixville. Bridge Street offers countless casual and upscale dining options, coffee shops, bakeries, boutiques, and the beloved Colonial Theater. You’re even closer to Reeves Park, where you can stroll over to the annual Dogwood Festival or Bluesfest. And of course, Fisher Park is right in your backyard, with tennis and pickleball courts and a recently renovated playground area. All of this, plus newer windows, and two additional off-street parking spaces in the back!
