Description
Explore the unique opportunity to own a piece of Schuylkill County history with "The Farmers Hotel," a property steeped in historical significance as depicted in John O'Hara's novel. This versatile estate, boasting 21 beautifully restored rooms, opens doors to various possibilities—from accommodating a large household to envisioning it as a charming bed and breakfast, Airbnb, or even a historic wedding venue. The ambiance of this distinguished property comes to life through the meticulously preserved details like the beautiful wood plank floors. The original bar, a witness to countless gatherings, remains a focal point in the living room, inviting you to step back in time. Renovations have uncovered treasures like original signed election documents from FDR's Presidential campaign, adding a touch of historical charm to the home. The generously sized wrap-around porch beckons relaxation, offering a perfect spot to relax outdoors, overlooking the large flat yard. Throughout the restoration process, a delicate balance was maintained, seamlessly blending modern amenities with old world charm. Every effort was made to preserve the historical integrity, from the meticulously restored woodwork to the original hitching posts and watering trough. The main floor unfolds with a living room, dining room, family room, kitchen, bathroom, and storage room. As you ascend to the second floor, you'll discover three bedrooms, two full baths, a laundry room, a sitting area, and a versatile office space. The third floor includes six additional bedrooms, a full bath, and attic access. The outdoor space is equally captivating, spanning almost 6 acres. A picturesque gazebo beneath a majestic maple tree and a sprawling deck leading to an above-ground pool create inviting outdoor retreats. The scenic Schuylkill River borders the property, enhanced by a new bridge and roadwork, offering fishing opportunities and the soothing sounds of flowing water. Consider the potential of the property, with the option to create a secluded hideaway bordered by arborvitaes along the adjacent road. A large parking garage, currently open, holds the potential to become a 4-car detached garage with some modifications. Immerse yourself in the rich history of "The Farmers Hotel" by scheduling a tour. Witnessing the property in person surpasses any written account. A pre-approval or proof of funds is required for a confirmed showing. Take the first step toward your historical dream home—schedule your tour and submit your offer today!

"I agree with previous comment. Police always on this street, West Race St. Pottsville, PA. Lots of drugs, in area. People walking up & down street, all hours of the night. Houses are very old, and falling down. Alot of vacant houses. Most Landlords are from out of area, do not care about property, just collecting rent. Majority of residents, do not work. Depressed area. Pottsville School is really good, though. Very few stores, restaurants, need a car; very little public transportation. Streets are in very poor condition & not clean. City has lots of litter. Locals moving out (getting pushed out). Lived here most of my life, watched the place, deteriorate."

"Alot of police activity. Some buildings are run down. Not a great place to live. The schools are ok, not great. Drug activity seems to be high. I would not want to raise my children here. It's okay if your single, or have grown children. Beware of deadbeat landlords."
