Tucked in the hills of the Oley Valley, this Circa 1850's farmhouse and gentleman's farm is situated on 8 acres offering pasture, woods, and backyard entertainment space. The home itself exudes charm of a bygone era whilst providing modern conveniences. Entering the home from the front, you are welcomed into a spacious Living Room with a wonderful brick wood burning fireplace flanked by cabinetry, refinished hardwood flooring and deep window sills. The Living space flows out through a solid wood Dutch Door onto the Pennsylvania blue slate screened-in porch; a perfect spot to take-in the peaceful feeling this property offers. The Kitchen also has a Pennsylvania blue slate floor with radiant heat, a cozy brick fireplace, a new stainless steel double wall oven, solid wood cabinetry, pantry closet and a bow window overlooking a brick patio with ornamental pond and a second Dutch Door lead from the kitchen onto the patio. The Master bedroom with a built-in cabinet and shelving has the unexpected large closet and walk-in wardrobe! There are two additional bedrooms and a finished 3rd floor that can be an additional bedroom or family space. One main Bathroom services the bedrooms. The laundry is located in the basement as is a large space that could be finished. This walk-out area onto the slate terrace also access the small greenhouse! The Barn is a must-see! The previous owner ran her antique business from the second floor and the owners prior, raised show dogs - hence the kennel space and office on the lower level. Most recently there were goats and chickens on the property. The barn currently is serviced with electric and water. The oil burner/heating system in the barn requires maintenance before it is operational. The swimming pool has updated electric, but is in need of a new liner. A detached one car garage and shed complete the building count. If you or your client is looking to live organically then this is a perfect opportunity! This property has recently been overhauled top-to-bottom and is being sold in 'As-Is' condition. All offers will be given respectful consideration.
