Property Description
Welcome to this enchanting PA stone farmhouse, a hidden gem uniquely situated in the most secluded, storybook setting, partially bordered by State game lands . This home features a masterful blend of timeless charm and modern conveniences, a very well thought out floor plan, and awaits its new owners.
Step back in time as you enter the original portion of the home and be greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The open concept of the living and dining room is simply stunning and very spacious. The original staircase serves the master bedroom suite and the various built ins accommodate storage needs and also a wine cabinet. The fireplace provides warmth to the heart and home, and is a pleasant spot to cozy up with a blanket and book any time of year. The kitchen is welcoming, functional and tastefully updated, boasting all the modern amenities. The 3/4” thick random width oak flooring and cut nails help to harmonize the old-world charm with contemporary finishes. Large windows offer lots of natural light and the convenience of a half bath and laundry room on the first floor will be most welcome. Continue on to the family room that invites you to sit down and relax - maybe step out to the back deck or to the covered front porch on a rainy day. The second staircase leads up to 2 private bedrooms, a hall bath and also the master bedroom suite. The living spaces on the second floor are also a perfect mix of modern comfort and historical character. The original exposed wooden beams, stone walls and deep windowsills in this very spacious master bedroom will delight the older soul, as will the generous number of closets. Skylights invite natural light to pour in and illuminate the room. This suite also includes a private office area and large master bath, featuring another skylight, whirlpool tub and separate shower in an elegant atmosphere.
The outdoor space is nothing short of magical. A private deck, ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation, extends into the quiet expanse of the backyard. Adjacent to the deck, a hot tub invites you to unwind under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of nature. Here, a well-planned landscape unfolds, featuring a stunning spring-fed pond stocked with goldfish and trout, which creates an oasis of calm and relaxation. This home also features a delightful springhouse and a charming outhouse, both still useable! The two-story bank barn upholds the same integrity the rest of the property does, offering ample space for storage or hobbies, an area for your vehicle with an automatic garage door opener, complete with a dedicated wood shop with wood stove.
You can enjoy the best of both worlds here, with this home being just 20 minutes from Reading and 35 minutes from Allentown, and the peacefulness of a secluded, countryside retreat.
