Property Description
Once in a lifetime, the opportunity arises to own a property with such rich history! The building was constructed in 1882 for George Washington Wood, whose father John "Squire" Wood was the first burgess of Conshohocken, and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania's 5th congressional district from 1859 to 1861. Built in the Queen Anne Victorian style, the original doors and woodwork are restored and preserved in original condition. The high quality building materials of yesteryear remain, including the Chestnut Hill Stone facade, and slate roofing on the original turret. In 2019, the 6,100 Square Foot property underwent a 3 year extensive renovation, and proudly opened as the George Washington Wood Bed & Breakfast. This stunning property features 6 unique guest suites, each with their own bathroom. The first floor welcomes you with a grande entrance, and includes a living room with fireplace, dining room, kitchen with butler pantry, and a large office/reception area. Adjacent to the dining room is a lovely porch with beautiful natural light, a feature that many guests returned to enjoy. Ascend the staircase to the second floor where you will find 4 private guest suites with en-suite bathrooms. The third floor has 2 more guest suites, one of them having an extra sitting room as well. Attention to detail abounds, especially with each unique bathroom that manages to marry modern convenience with rich finishes that pay homage to the property?s history. Out back, there are 6 private parking spaces for guests. All of the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC was replaced during the renovation. The George Washington Wood Bed & Breakfast is located at the corner of Hallowell St. and 5th Ave., across from Mary H. Wood Park. A perfect central location in downtown Conshohocken, just a few blocks to many local restaurants, cafes, and shops. Conshohocken is also known for it?s many parades and festivals throughout the year that brings the community together. This property is so charming, it was even featured in QVC?s holiday film, Holly & The Hot Chocolate. Use this property to operate another exceptional turn-key B&B, or easily return it to a single family residence. You must see this property in person to truly appreciate the love that was put into restoring and preserving its prestigious history.
