Property Description

Own a rare piece of Jim Thorpe's history. According to town records, this home was built c.1836 and reflects the authentic plank-style construction most often attributed to the c.1875 era. With only three families of ownership across nearly 150 years, the residence at 120 Silk Street has been lovingly restored and thoughtfully updated while preserving its historic integrity. The exterior welcomes you with a front porch rebuilt using period-style trusses, brackets, and a full shutter set, blending seamlessly into the historic streetscape. Mature trees across the street provide privacy, while the location offers the unique advantage of being just steps away from downtown Jim Thorpe's dining, shopping, opera house, train station, and outdoor recreation. Inside, historic character and modern comfort coexist beautifully. Wide-plank hardwood floors run throughout the formal dining room, living room, and bedrooms, while preserved push-button switches and rolled-glass windows highlight the authenticity of the home. The living and dining rooms are bright and inviting, offering the perfect blend of cozy spaces and period charm. The custom kitchen is a centerpiece, reconstructed with hand-crafted millwork, reclaimed White House Collection cabinetry, vintage fixtures, and French doors salvaged from a major motion picture set. These doors open directly onto the deck and gardens, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen also serves as an eat-in space, complementing the formal dining room. Upstairs, the bedrooms have been reconfigured with expanded closets using repurposed historic doors. The rear guestroom features a double window flanked by closets and garden views, while the primary bedroom offers ample storage and light. The full bath includes a classic clawfoot tub, pedestal sink, tile flooring, and an artistic reclaimed glass shelf crafted from a vintage roadster windshield - a subtle nod to the creative spirit of the home. On the third floor, a finished office and adjoining sitting room provide flexible space for study, work, or retreat. The angled ceilings and hardwood floors add warmth and character, making this level an intimate hideaway within the home. Outdoors, the property is a sanctuary. Hand-excavated terraces and dry-laid stone retaining walls form private garden areas, while a firepit offers panoramic views of Mt. Pisgah and sunsets over town. The lot balances privacy with walkability, making it a rare find. At the rear of the property sits a detached historic cabin, rebuilt on its original foundation and also sourced from a major motion picture production. With its own fireplace, this cabin serves as a four-season retreat — ideal for writing, reading, or simply enjoying a snowy evening. Its provenance adds to the unique character of the property, alongside other elements such as hand-etched doors and reclaimed lighting collected from cinematic productions. Significant updates provide peace of mind for the next owner: the main, flat, and porch roofs were fully replaced in 2007, the studio roof in 2012; a retaining wall was rebuilt in 2023; electrical service upgraded to 200 amps; and a propane-fired hot water boiler installed in 2006 and serviced in 2024. Plumbing materials are copper and PVC, and public water and sewer service add convenience.
This property is more than a home - it is a piece of Jim Thorpe's history, a testament to creative restoration, and a lifestyle retreat unlike any other.
