What a great opportunity to own this truly unique & original Ward Cedar Log Home! Seller has stripped the entire exterior of home & has just completed staining with Permachink Ultra 7 to really boost the natural beauty of this home. This is a RARE find to have such privacy & seclusion on 4.4 partially wooded acres that also backs up to 201 acres of Beautiful natural land preserve with walking trails! Excellent deer & turkey hunting for those avid hunters. This amazing log home has many upgrades including new wood laminate floors, new carpet in upstairs bedroom, updated kitchen cabinets, countertops & new stainless steel appliances. The master bath is also totally remodeled as well as the main floor half bath (including new toilets). This home offers so much with stunning woodwork throughout, vaulted ceilings, a 2 story magnificent fireplace & an upstairs loft area (which has been tastefully decorated). The partially finished lower level offers yet another fireplace, laundry area, half bath & wet bar. There are endless possibilities here. When you say Pride of Ownership , it certainly is the case here as the seller also installed new gutters, down spouts & soffit. Let's not forget about the newer roof (2016) which is sure to please. There are so many appealing features about this home that I'm sure it won't last long! Come & take a peek for yourself & make this your own little piece of paradise. Welcome Home!

GC
General Commercial District
The GC Zoning District generally contains areas with wide-variety of commercial uses, which provides opportunities to accommodate the needs of the region and pass through traffic. Subdivision and land development activity should be carefully planned and encouraged on undeveloped parcels of land or as infill development in accordance with the recommendations contained within the Southern Berks Regional Comprehensive Plan of 2004. Redevelopment, interchange development, adaptive reuse and/or creative land development designs should be considered to accommodate new business opportunities and to enhance economic development opportunities.
