Creek frontage totals 143 feet! Nestled high atop beautiful French Creek, this 5-bedroom home on a half-acre lot features gorgeous views and easy access (across the creek or bridge) to the trail head for a two-mile section of the French Creek Trail (a natural surface trail for walking, jogging, dog walks). Bring the outdoors inside from sliding glass doors in two bedrooms, the family room, the living room and even the kitchen window. Outside, the views are from the second floor balcony that runs the length of the house and from the slate patio featuring steps gliding down to the water. Live here full time or make it your weekend getaway as you're just 30 minutes to Philadelphia. Trout fishing! Bird watching! Enter to a spacious and bright living with a brick fireplace. The kitchen features plenty of storage space and the laundry. The large dining room and full bathroom complete the first level. Upstairs is a living room with exposed beams, sliders to the balcony, five bedrooms and a second full bathroom. This home is just moments away from destination dining, specialty food shopping and entertainment (Birchrunville Cafe, Kimberton Inn, Station Bistro, Ludwig's Oyster Bar, Kimberton Whole Foods Grocery, Kimberton Park and the Phoenixville Farmers Market). Enjoy outdoor activities, miles of walking/riding bike trails or fishing from your back yard, horseback riding, kayaking, and easy access to nearly a dozen golf courses. Visit the seven historic covered bridges over French Creek, including three nearby, Rapp's Dam, (1866) Kennedy, (1856) and Sheeder Hall (1850). House is outside of (above) flood plain. Newer furnace is in the crawl space. Public water and sewer. A special home and location! Property being sold in as-is condition.

R-2
Community Residential District
The R-2, Community Residential District, is intended primarily to enable the development of stable, well-designed residential neighborhoods with single-family detached dwellings at densities appropriate to the existing pattern of development and the availability of supporting facilities. In general alternative forms of residential use and most non-residential uses are deemed inappropriate within the R-2 District.
