142-year-old Conshohocken property home to a bed and breakfast up for sale

 By Emma Dooling – Reporter, Philadelphia Business Journal

A 142-year-old Montgomery County property currently home to a bed and breakfast is up for sale.

The six-bed, six-and-a-half-bath George Washington Wood Bed & Breakfast in Conshohocken is asking $3.2 million, owner Joe Rutkowski told the Business Journal.

The sale includes the three-story property along with its furnishings and the bed and breakfast business.

Rutkowski purchased the 0.19-acre property with his late wife Carol for $485,000 in early 2016. The duo spent about three years renovating the 6,100-square-foot building before opening it as the George Washington Wood Bed & Breakfast in March 2019.

Carol Rutkowski died in late 2020 following a battle with cancer. In the years since, Joe Rutkowski continued to operate the bed and breakfast, including using it as an event venue for nearby Conshohocken restaurant Brunch. The bed and breakfast shuttered over the summer.

Rutkowski said the property was his wife's "dream" and "labor of love." She grew up blocks away from the home and had told Rutkowski since they got married in 1979 that she would eventually buy the building. Without her to run the bed and breakfast with him, he has decided to offload the property.

“It was an adventure, but now it’s time to let it go,” Rutkowski said.

Located at 201 E. 5th Ave., the George Washington Wood Bed & Breakfast offers an office, a living room, a dining room, a half bath and a commercial kitchen on the first floor, according to Rutkowski. The second level offers four guest rooms, while the third floor houses a primary suite and a smaller suite.

Each of the six bedrooms has its own bathroom. The property also has a six-car parking lot in the rear.
