The "Old Pickering Schoolhouse" built in 1840 with the historic bell still hanging in the belfry exudes charm and has been thoughtfully renovated for modern living. This 3 bedroom 3.5 bathroom home features as an added bonus, a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment, with separate entrance which has been updated throughout and makes a great in-law suite. Situated on a picturesque 2.6 acres with a pond, a tranquil stream, lush greenery including a wildflower field, and fire pit, this property offers a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, all while being minutes to everything. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Phoenixville's history! The enchanting stone garden walls covered in flowering ivy entice you to enter, and once inside, a marble foyer and beautiful moldings welcome you. A small office with quarter sewn oak paneling once served as the principal's office, is on the left as you enter. An updated kitchen featuring custom glass cabinets, stainless steel appliances and granite counters is the perfect complement to the home's spacious dining room with its floor -to- ceiling paneled moldings. A living room with large windows allows sunlight to stream in and in front of the fireplace is a perfect gathering spot for family and friends. A fabulous screened porch overlooking the wildflower fields extends the living room space and welcomes the outside in! One of the highlights of this exceptional home is the beautiful library room, where floor -to- ceiling bookshelves invite you to indulge in literary escapades or simply unwind in the cozy ambiance. The library exudes warmth and sophistication, a fireplace makes the room an ideal space for relaxation, study, or quiet contemplation. A full bathroom makes it an impressive main floor bedroom suite option. Laundry tucked into custom cabinetry just off the kitchen, extra pantry storage and a convenient powder room complete the main floor. Upstairs the primary bedroom features a newly renovated luxurious bath with marble floors, vanity for two, a soaking tub, as well as a glass and tile enclosed shower, a delightful surprise for a home of this age. There are multiple closets for ample storage and a convenient door to bedroom 2 making it an excellent nursery or easy way to enlarge the primary space as needed. Bedroom 2 is sunlit and features an original built-in wardrobe that exudes charm and makes for perfect storage. A third bedroom features a large deep closet and a full hall bath with tub and shower completes the upper level. The basement is a walk-out and offers plenty of storage or the opportunity to finish and incorporate the space with the flagstone patio just outside. Additionally, this remarkable property features an inviting apartment/in-law suite, offering versatility and accommodation for extended family or guests. With its own driveway, separate entrance, kitchen, living space, bedroom and full bathroom, the in-law apartment provides privacy and independence while in close proximity to the main residence. It could also serve as a home office, gym or nanny suite. Prior owners rented the apartment for approximately $1,000/mo. Outside, the expansive grounds are a beautiful oasis. A flagstone patio overlooking the wildflower fields and a fire pit area for s'mores on a chilly night overlooking the pond makes the outside spaces special, your own private sanctuary. Current owners raise ducks who love the pond, but chickens would be a great addition as well! The fully fenced yard is perfect for our four-legged friends too. Set on scenic grounds yet conveniently accessible to King of Prussia, Malvern, Wayne, and Phoenixville’s modern conveniences, this renovated 1800's schoolhouse presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of history while enjoying modern amenities.
