A Rare Queen Anne Victorian in the Heart of Lansdale. Built in 1893 and presented as a wedding gift to Adele Jenkins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John S. Jenkins, this remarkable Queen Anne Victorian is rich in Lansdale history and architectural character. Connected to the locally historic Jenkins family, the property retains exceptional original details, including chestnut woodwork, chestnut flooring, pocket doors, bay windows, church-like windows with diagonally crossed mullions, three stained-glass windows along the main staircase, and an additional stained-glass window on the rear staircase — along with the distinctive architectural features of its round tower...adding here that Exterior Painting and/or Aluminum Cladding has been recently completed on all windows. Anchored by a dramatic round corner tower crowned with a conical roof, the exterior showcases red brick construction, a fieldstone foundation, and white trim throughout. Deep, arched-top windows and door along the street-facing storefront level add striking curb appeal, while a level front lawn and mature landscaping complete the picture of timeless Victorian character. Offering three finished levels, an attic, a full basement, a two-car garage with attic storage, three-zone heating, and flexible interior spaces, the property presents an extraordinary opportunity for residential, commercial, office, retail, mixed-use, or investment purposes, subject to municipal approval and buyer verification. The first floor currently features a business entrance which is quite open, working office space, kitchenette, full bathroom, laundry area, summer kitchen/pantry, multiple closets, and a private room suitable for an executive office or bedroom. All 1st floor flooring has recently been redone with fresh flooring installed. Pocket doors separate the current kitchenette from the main business area, while bay windows fill both sides of the first floor with natural light. The layout may also lend itself to conversion into a spacious residential unit. Note that the 1st floor has been freshly painted. The grand front entrance opens to a central hallway and a beautiful staircase leading to the second and third floors. Upper-level spaces offer tremendous flexibility for offices, conference rooms, apartments, or private living quarters, with a kitchen, bathroom, generous rooms, and abundant storage. The second floor includes a living room with a fireplace featuring a ceramic tile border and original brass grate, extensive built-in bookshelves, and a bedroom/office with a dressing room and built-in closets. The third floor offers two bedrooms, a family room, and large closets. Note that these 2 bedrooms and family room could easily be considered as Offices in the Commercial/Mixed-use sense. The smaller rooms on the second and third floors lend themselves to a variety of uses — from a nursery to office equipment and file storage. For many years, the property was home to Bestway Printing. Its expansive 43 x 24 sq. ft. former printing shop, approximately 1,032 square feet, remains in the rear, including a former darkroom, double-door loading area, and electrified lawn signage, with attic storage above the two-car garage. Conveniently situated near the Septa Lansdale Train Station, Septa Bus Stops, Lansdale Public Library, local police and fire services, shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, everyday conveniences, and White's Road Park. This architectural treasure offers an exceptional location and a compelling variety of possibilities. Bring your vision and give new life to this one-of-a-kind Lansdale landmark!
