Property description
Welcome to the historic Pennypacker Mansion, a rare and extraordinary opportunity in the heart of West Chester Borough. Once home to Charles Pennypacker—a prominent figure in local history—this stately and expansive brick estate stands proudly on a prominent corner lot, framed by tall privacy hedges and timeless architectural elegance. Spanning 7,110 square feet, the residence currently functions as six unique apartment units, offering strong rental income potential or the perfect canvas for a grand single-family conversion. Step through the commanding 10-foot mahogany double doors into a world of old-world charm and craftsmanship. The interiors boast original windows and doors, coffered ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and a breathtaking 3-story staircase that anchors the home in classic grandeur. The wide grand hallways create a sense of scale rarely found in modern properties. The home’s original character has been lovingly preserved, offering a unique blend of historic detail and flexible modern living. Whether you choose to maintain it as an investment property or restore it to its former glory as a magnificent mansion, 305 S Walnut St is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of West Chester history. *subject to all government entities to allow conversion**agent related to owner*
