601-603 Mahantongo St, Pottsville, PA 17901

Property Description

Welcome to Cortland Terrace. Two homes, one extraordinary possibility.  601 and 603 Mahantongo St. are two homes deeded separately and fully functioning on their own but being sold together. An interior connecting door allows the two homes to be experienced together as one expansive residence or remain separate. Currently operating as licensed short-term rentals through Airbnb, these homes offer the possibility of continued investment revenue, or they can become one or two private residences.  Cortland Terrace traces its origins to John Pinkerton, an important early figure in the Schuylkill County coal industry.  The homes were once part of the larger Manor of homes including the landmark Braun School of Music, and the history is alive inside.  Fully furnished and decorated, the new owner can move right in, continue with short term rentals or live in one and rent the other. Home 601 greets you with a formal parlor as you enter from the front porch with a view.  The George Washington dining room, kitchen and half bath round out the first floor.  Upstairs offers a comfortable sitting & media room along with two ample-sized bedrooms and a full bathroom.  Home 603 welcomes you from the stately front porch with Greek revival columns through the foyer to a grand staircase.  A large open concept living room and kitchen with a dining area along with the screened sunroom in the rear, provides plenty of room to entertain. Upstairs in 603 are three bedrooms and a full bath.  Outside, the homes feature a formal terraced garden as well as off-street parking for four cars. Just one block from the Yuengling Brewery and on the route of the famed Lager Jogger, the location is ideal for tourists visiting the Pottsville area to experience its ongoing growth and revitalization.  These homes are a must see combination of historic provenance and architectural character with immense opportunity.
