It is about a five-minute drive from Phoenixville High School and less than 10 minutes from the center of town, which has an early 20th-century movie theater, a brewery and walking paths along French Creek, a tributary of the nearby Schuylkill.

Driving to King of Prussia mall takes about 15 minutes. Center City Philadelphia is less than an hour away.

Size: 3,071 square feet

Price per square foot: $244

To the left is a wood-paneled room that once served as the principal’s office.

To the right is a living room with hardwood floors, a fireplace framed by a simple white mantel and French doors that open to a screened porch.

Off the living room is a dining room with wall paneling. It connects to an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, glass-fronted cabinetry, granite counters and access to a half bathroom.
