Property Description
Introducing luxury office space, redefined and reimagined! Situated on 1.3 acres amid Chester County’s rolling hills overlooking Kimberton Road (Rt. 113) and the thousands of cars that pass daily below , this unique commercial office building is sure to impress the most discerning business professionals and clients! Originally constructed in 1907 to house the West Pikeland High School before serving as the West Pikeland Municipal Building for more than 50 years, this property was last purchased in 2007, then renovated and lovingly restored in 2009 by the current owner. It’s now brimming with the historic charm, character and period details of a century-old Schoolhouse, complimented by a modern addition that marries seamlessly with the existing structure. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed into a dramatic 2-story lobby accented by tile flooring, a timber-beam ceiling, curved floor-to-ceiling window wall, original exposed brick details and a sweeping, oak staircase. Surrounding the lobby is approximately 6,400 SF of beautifully-appointed, luxury office space that can be divided into separate suites and leased or combined for use in it’s entirety by a single business or firm. The first floor features two spacious corner offices, one ADA-accessible half bath and one full bath with shower, a Pullman-style Kitchenette equipped with custom cabinetry, sink, full-size refrigerator and exposed brick wall, and a large work or gallery space that originally served as the main room of the Schoolhouse. This large room is accented by original hardwood flooring, 10’+ ceilings, distinctive custom moldings, deep window sills and a stained-glass transom above double doors leading to the front Foyer and stairwell. Upstairs features a balcony overlooking the Lobby below, a large corner conference room and two private office suites with exposed beams, two half baths and an additional Kitchenette with custom cabinetry, sink and mini-fridge. A spacious and light-filled 800+ SF studio space (currently home to a successful advertising firm) completes the second floor. The partially-finished walk-out basement and a crawl space below the addition provides abundant storage and houses the building’s mechanical systems, including separately zoned HVAC. A private parking lot at the rear of the building includes 26 dedicated parking spaces for employees and guests with convenient access to the building’s main Lobby entrance. The building sits adjacent to the Chester Springs Post Office and shares ingress and egress, increasing its visibility to the many patrons who visit the post office each day. Zoned V-2 (Village Preservation District), permitted uses for this property include professional or administrative offices, home occupation, bed & breakfast, retail and even the possibility of Residential use (please see West Pikeland Zoning Ordinances, pages #VI-4 through VI-6 for permitted uses.) Located within an hour’s drive of the Philadelphia International Airport, this property’s convenient location provides easy access to Rts. 113, 401, 202, 30, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The extensive restoration and renovation efforts were meticulously executed with no expense spared or detail overlooked. This is truly a unique and exceptional professional building that inspires creativity for those lucky enough to work within these walls and leaves a lasting impression on the guests and clients who visit. This special piece of Chester Springs’ history is now ready for a new steward to envision the next exciting chapter in it’s storied past! (Also listed as Residential under MLS #PACT2002650)
