Wow! Step back in time with this magnificently remodeled, circa 1893 farmhouse that still retains many of the charming features, with the deep window sills, beaded wainscoting, pegged kitchen coat rack, chair railing, and beamed ceilings. This showplace has been uniquely retrofitted and upgraded, from top to bottom including a new roof, replacement windows, new paint inside and out, new floor coverings, huge living room, new air-conditioning, LED lighting, gorgeous new shaker-style craftsman kitchen, with new range, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, newly installed 1st floor office/den also with craftsman cabinetry, laundry, and a powder room with the sliding barn door. There's also a huge 2nd floor main bedroom, plus an expanded and enlarged bathroom, with a new tub, toilet, shaker vanity, tile floors, and back-splash. The attic or 3rd floor has also been professionally finished off with two additional rooms. The electric service has been upgraded to a 100 AMP circuit-breaker electrical service, plus all new water equipment, including a softener and UV light are already in place. Things don't end here, though, as also included is a detached, multi-level garage that's heated and air-conditioned, and provides the potential for additional living quarters for relatives, or a low impact business or office on the grade level that's also been beautifully finished off into a huge room plus bathroom. There's also a 2-bay garage on the lower level, with two overhead doors with openers. This property is about 2 minutes to Boyertown and is directly across from the Boyertown Park, about 5 minutes to Rt. #100 and WAWA, and roughly 10 minutes to Rt. #422 and shopping, yet there are deer roaming out back, with a wonderful backyard that feels like you're in the country. Set up your tour today, as this is a real gem!
