Property Description
Welcome to 611 W Market Street, a grand brick Victorian built in 1901 by James Bock, proudly located in Pottsville's historic Garfield Square. Now offered at a new price, the sellers are motivated and ready to review reasonable offers, making this a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive piece of Pottsville history. Offering over 3,100 square feet across three stories, this remarkable home provides a flexible floor plan and a range of possibilities for its next owner. Inside, you'll find an abundance of original features beautifully preserved — including a striking three-story staircase, stained and leaded glass windows, pocket doors, carved wood mantels, crown molding, and hardwood flooring throughout the formal rooms. The gas-insert fireplace with tile accents anchors the main living space, while the parlor and dining room evoke a warm sense of history and elegance. A first-floor full bath, main kitchen, and butler's pantry/laundry room add functionality to the home's classic layout. Upstairs, the second-floor suite functions well as an in-law apartment, featuring a kitchenette, bedroom with walk-in closet, and a bright front room with bay window — offering flexible space for extended family, guests, or even short-term rental use. A hallway bath with marble-topped sink adds comfort, while the rear of the floor includes a home office/sitting room and additional storage area — ideal for remote work or creative pursuits.
The third floor features two additional bedrooms, a full bath with tile flooring and walk-in shower, and a spacious dressing room or walk-in closet. Outside, the home invites you to relax or entertain in the private courtyard, enjoy the covered side and back porches, or utilize the detached garage with alley access. The back porch and patio offer a peaceful retreat perfect for grilling, gathering, or simply enjoying the charm of this historic neighborhood. While the home awaits your intentional cosmetic updates, the major mechanical systems have already been addressed: a 2-year-old Utica steam boiler, 2-year-old 40-gallon gas water heater, updated 200 AMP electric, and sump pump provide a solid infrastructure for restoration. The roof is a combination of metal and rubber for long-term durability. Zoned C-1, this property offers incredible flexibility for live/work arrangements, multi-generational living, or a unique short-term rental just minutes from the Yuengling Brewery, County Courthouse, and other historic attractions. Whether you're a preservation enthusiast or an investor looking for character-rich potential, 611 W Market Street is ready for its next chapter — and its next steward.
