Property Description
Your chance to own a piece of history. This magnificent property that has been under the loving stewardship of the family for decades and now they have determined it is time to pass on this special property located in Berks County. The land encompasses 5 contiguous parcels totaling over 180 acres (approx. 100 of which are tillable) of countryside offering peace and privacy and includes a beautiful pond, pole barn, spring house, and a two car detached garage. A 1780s stone farmhouse presides over the property preserving many of the home's original features such as awesome deep windowsills, wood plank doors, and beautiful stone fireplaces. The main floor has wide plank flooring and beamed ceilings throughout, set off by a row of picture windows along one side of the home. A large eat in kitchen offers newer appliances and an inviting great room with brick fireplace providing a comfortable place for family to gather. A first floor master bedroom adds a modern surprise with walk-in closet and bath with washer and dryer. Large formal living and dining rooms are also enhanced by stone and brick fireplaces. Outside access is available from the kitchen, dining room, living room, and master bedroom. There are two bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor with an additional large bedroom with vaulted ceiling and separate bath on the second floor over the kitchen that can be used for guests or in laws. On the third floor there is a possibility for two more bedrooms. The home has central air and is heated by heat pump and has a two car detached garage. There is a separate spring house overlooking a lovely pond that can easily be converted to an apartment or art studio. For the gentleman farmer there is a gorgeous large red stone and wood sided pole barn. The property is registered in clean and green and is in an Agricultural Easement Program and enjoys significantly reduced taxes. This is also a property that could be perfect for horse lovers. This is a one of a kind opportunity to own a property that has been thoughtfully cared for and loved for generations.
