Old world charm abounds in this farmhouse beauty, that sits on 7.32 acres with 3 bedrooms, 3 bath, multiple outbuildings and an inground pool! This home has been extensively renovated from electric to plumbing with modern amenities without losing its characteristics & charm. The front patio will lead you into a full length covered, screened front porch, where many evenings will be spent watching the deer, and into a large foyer with beautiful, original hardwood staircase. To the right, is the formal living room with hardwood floors, wainscoting ceiling, and beautiful built-ins along side the brick fireplace. Lots of natural light warms the room nicely. The spacious formal dining room will be a delight to host guests and comes with crown molding and built-ins and hardwood as well. An updated kitchen has wrap-around windows, butcher-block counters and tile backsplash, farmhouse sink as well as all appliances and a large pantry for tons of storage. A very convenient main floor full bath with gorgeous tub and laundry facilities finish off the main level. Upstairs you will find the primary ensuite that comes with hardwood floors, a large walk-in closet and superior bath with tile surround shower and accent walls. There are two additional large bedrooms and a beautiful, updated hall bath. The detached 2-car garage is currently being used as an office on the main level and a very large recreation room with a mini bar on the second level. There is a large stone patio and firepit, which is great for outdoor entertaining as well as additional outbuildings for lots of storage. Bring your chickens and pigs (chicken coup is excluded), or grow a garden, as there is plenty of room to roam! The inground pool offers more entertainment and will be a welcome delight in the summer, with a lovely wrap-around patio and fencing. The home sits near Bieber Creek (a class A stream) and offers tons of privacy.
Over the river and through the woods to this scenic Oley Valley farm nestled between a wooded hillside and a stream. Enjoy hearing the stream while sitting on the large screened front porch. Large rooms. The root cellar is ideal for a wine cellar. Stone and frame garage could be a potential apartment with zoning approval. Additional outbuildings could be used for horses.
