Listing description

Built in 1930 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Pickwick House is a distinctive Tudor Revival residence offering the opportunity to restore one of West Whiteland Township's notable historic homes. Designed by architect Sherman G. Coates, the home retains many of the details that define its character: wide pegged-board floors, original ironwork, handsome millwork and built-ins, grouped casement windows and the steeply pitched, half-timbered gables characteristic of its original architecture. The house also requires substantial renovation. Major systems need attention, along with the kitchen, bathrooms and additional areas throughout the home. This is not a cosmetic project, and buyers should approach it with both the resources and vision a meaningful restoration requires. What makes that investment compelling is what already exists. At approximately 4,378 square feet, with six bedrooms, four full and one half baths and an attached three-car garage, Pickwick offers scale, architectural individuality and historic character that would be difficult to recreate today. A thoughtful renovation can preserve the elements that belong to the house while updating its systems, function and finishes for modern living. Property is being sold in its present condition. Buyers should independently verify property condition, renovation requirements, taxes, zoning, historic-resource requirements and the feasibility of any proposed use or alteration.
