Wow!! Here's a True Old Country Gem of a house on about 1-3/4 Acres, with an active spring! This classic, 1920's, Brick Colonial has many of those unique and early 20th Century features including a huge Front Porch, Wooden Floors, Deep Window sills, Solid Chestnut Wood Doors and Chestnut Trim, a large Living Room and a Parlor Room with floor to ceiling trim, plus many more recent upgrades including Tile Floors, Replacement Windows, Central Air-Conditioning, an Enclosed Side Porch, Huge Rear Patio (Approximately 30 feet long by 13-1/2 feet), and much, much more. * * Please note there are currently 2 bedrooms, but they can easily be converted back to 3, as originally built. (The one interior wall was removed, in order to make the large, main bedroom. ) A bedroom could also easily be made, by finishing of the large attic area, as well as in the first floor Parlor room, if desired. Also included with this property is a Detached Garage, Workshop, Equipment Shed, Fire Pit, and plenty of trees that round out the huge back yard. This property is conveniently located about only 2 miles to Douglassville, 6 miles to Boyertown, and 11 miles to Reading. Don't wait to set up an early appointment.
