About this home
Spectacular, circa 1820 Federal-style three story Colonial in the heart of Pottstown’s vibrant and revitalized downtown. The former home and office of Dr. J Elmer Porter – the first chief of surgery in Pottstown Hospital and a pillar in the business community- is a landmark piece of Pottstown’s history. Currently a mixed-use 3-unit property, this majestic building makes an impressive architectural statement with a stately entrance, beautiful leaded glass transoms and windows, ornate ironwork, detailed woodwork, and an array of ornamental, vintage components. The primary 5 bedroom, 2 bath dwelling unit, encompassing about 3700 square feet on three levels, includes an elegant foyer with double French doors leading to the wide hallway boasting a gorgeous staircase. Attention to detail and skilled craftmanship is evident in hardwood and inlaid flooring, custom wainscoting, and precision interior shutters. The ground level features a giant Great Room (30’x15’) with stunning coffered ceiling and ornamental marble-front fireplace. Glass doors lead to the Living Room and Dining Rooms with built-in display cabinetry. The Kitchen features plenty of tall cabinetry, granite counters, a 6-burner gas range, stainless appliances, and a 5’ cast iron sink. Detailed hardwood flooring and over 9’ ceilings are throughout the first floor. Two staircases lead to the second floor which offers 3 bedrooms – one featuring an ornamental tile and mirror-front fireplace, and another with a walk-in bay window seat. A great 200+ square foot primary Bathroom Suite includes a stylish copper soaking tub, walk-in custom tile shower, tin ceiling, vessel sink on marble topped furniture style vanity, laundry facilities, plus a separate room with antique style commode and pedestal sink. A second full Bathroom features a cast iron tub/shower, ceramic tilework, bidet, and pedestal sink. The fourth and fifth Bedrooms are located on the 3rd floor. Walk-in closets are located on the upper levels and stairs lead to plenty of additional storage space in the unfinished attic.

The main building also houses a hair salon accessed from the deep side porch. This occupied commercial unit includes 2 rooms, an impressive black marble gas fireplace, and full bathroom.
