Listing description

Discover an exceptional investment opportunity at 85-99 Starr Street. This expansive, 2-parcel, 1.77-acre property is ideally situated in the heart of Phoenixville, offering a canvas for visionary developers and investors.​ Possibilities abound; a grand single family dwelling, large office spaces, spacious condos in the mansion and additional residential buildings on the vacant land. The ‘White Stone Mansion’ was built by the Samuel Reeves family, Phoenix Iron and Steel Company’s Vice President, c.1850. It is the historic district’s most significant and palatial structure. The prestigious Italian Villa brick mansion features expansive verandas, ionic columns and bracketed cornices. In 1987, the 14,802 square foot mansion was converted into beautiful office spaces utilizing all four floors. The conversion maintained much of the integrity of the original structure. The mansion’s first floor interior still features wide wood moldings, detailed carved wood paneling, original wood and intricate parquet floors and a spectacular top-to-bottom staircase. Many of the historic features are echoed throughout the second floor and beyond. The two parcels of 85 and 99 Starr are being sold together. 85 Starr is a vacant .57 acre lot. The 1.2 acre 99 Starr is home to the mansion, parking and a large former garden space waiting for its new purpose. The property in Town Center Zoning and within the Historical District. Prospective buyers should consult with the Borough of Phoenixville to confirm specific zoning regulations and permissible uses.​ Phoenixville is experiencing a renaissance, attracting new businesses and residents alike. This very visible property, steps from Bridge Street, offers you the chance to contribute to Phoenixville’s continued growth and vibrancy.​ The ‘White Stone Mansion’ is ready to tell its next story. Will you be a part of it?

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $440,340, well below the ~$626,890 its asking price implies at Chester County's common level ratio (30.6%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $7,507/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($440,340, 1998 base year) × current millage. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2001 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Chester County before relying on it. Learn more: PA property tax calculator · Common Level Ratio by county.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
