Own a piece of history! Antique lovers will adore this Victorian home set on West Broadway in the quaint village of Jim Thorpe. This historic home was used as a convent for the “Sisters of the Immaculate Conception”. Restored by previous owners, the house embodies all the elegance of the town’s origin as a vacation spot for wealthy industrialists. Built in 1856, the 2BR, 1 BA home features an antique gas stove in the kitchen. A double front door opens into a fabulous living room and dining room with gorgeous marble fireplace and built-in curio cabinets. Plank floors, original woodwork, built-in bookcases, fireplaces, and original stained-glass windows and chandeliers add charm throughout the living space. A dramatic staircase takes you up to a living room/library, lit by a cathedral ceiling and warmed by a gas fireplace. The library opens out to a garden area with two-tier patio and Koi Pond. Offering privacy and luxury, stained glass double doors, carved closet doors, and an adjoining, ceramic-tiled master bath complete the master bedroom. A spiral staircase leads to a third-floor bedroom suite with a half-bath. The house is for sale furnished, giving buyers the extraordinary opportunity to move in as is. The best part is the location: Jim Thorpe is a vibrant destination with festivals, train rides, bike trails, hiking, restaurants, and cultural activities. Surrounded by history, it's the perfect place to live or retire!
