Welcome to your picture perfect farmhouse dream. Originally constructed in 1900, this idyllic farmhouse has been preserved and updated with gorgeous modern amenities. From the welcoming front porch to the arched interior details, original built-ins, and gorgeous custom kitchen cabinetry, this home perfectly marries old and new. On a sprawling 1.32 acre lot, the exterior of the home features NEW custom wood fencing, freshly refinished porches, beautiful professional landscaping, a firepit perfect for summer entertainment, and a pastoral bank barn. The current owners also expanded and re-stoned the driveway to maximize the parking areas. Entering through the restored front door, you'll step into the designer living room featuring new luxury plank flooring and arched entryway flowing directly into the large formal dining room with custom built-ins. Just off the dining room you'll find the updated eat-in kitchen with custom ceiling height cabinetry showcasing high-end hardware imported from Italy. With updated countertops, new appliances, a new range wall backsplash, a classic white farmhouse sink, and a Dutch door to the adorable back porch, the kitchen is both contemporary and nostalgic. The powder room is also located on the main floor. Moving to the second floor, you'll find stunning original hardwood floors and three sizable bedrooms, plus the recently updated full bath with an arched marble and tile shower, coffered ceiling, and original built-in storage cabinet. The third floor includes the large fourth bedroom with a spacious closet. The home showcases replacement windows throughout and a newly installed water remediation and drainage system in the basement to keep things tidy and dry. Located in the highly-regarded Owen J. Roberts School District and in close proximity to 422 for easy commuting, this idyllic and move-in ready farmhouse won't last long. Make plans to see it today.
Welcome to 897 E Schuylkill Road! A gorgeous farm house built in 1900 that has been beautifully preserved. Before coming into the home, your eyes will be immediately drawn to the inviting front porch, from which you will notice the green grounds surrounding the home. When stepping inside, you will be greeted with a large and inviting Living Room. From there, it will be easy to take notice of the Dining Room, which has ample space for entertaining guests! The Kitchen is definitely a room you will want to take note of, with glass cabinetry that reaches the ceiling, a sizable farmhouse sink, and a cozy eat-in area. Also located in this farmhouse are 4 spacious Bedrooms that are beautifully decorated, as well as a Half Bath on the First Floor, Full Bath on the Second Floor, and an advantageous Toilet Room in the Basement. This 3 story house has ample storage space, especially with the large barn located behind it! 897 E Schuylkill Rd is in the ideal location, with 422 just a short drive from the property, making travel quick and easy. An additional benefit to this home is that it can heated by oil or coal- owner's choice! The coal stove is conveniently located in the basement, meaning it is a no mess situation. It is also not electric powered, so power outages will no longer be a concern! This house has a new roof and new windows throughout, as well as a monitored security system and emergency response smoke & carbon monoxide detectors! Special things to note: this house features high-end fixtures throughout with cabinet hardware from Italy, and a farmhouse sink w/ garbage disposal with new Grohe faucet. The bath is a display of all new Moen fixtures with marble tile shower surround that extends upward across a unique arched ceiling, as well as a coffered ceiling.
