Circa 1830 this historic stone farm house located along the Tulpehocken Creek is just minutes from Rt. 222, 183 and Rt. 61. This house has been fully redone with new windows, HVAC system, roof, kitchen, bathrooms, septic, painting and floor coverings. Enjoy the benefits of hiking, bike riding, fishing and quiet space all while living right here. A large attached 2 car garage with automatic openers makes very easy access into the house. The lovely slate patio is shaded with mature trees, and provides viewing of the Tulpehocken Creek as can observe boaters, fisherman and hikers right across the grass meadow. A modern storage shed is a gardener's dream come true. The house has perfect sun exposure for flowers, a vegetable garden or much more. The modernheating and cooling system offer the efficiency of a heat pump with an oil back up. The third story master bedroom and bath feels like you are living in a tree house rather than a bedroom. Bright windows and fresh air surround this lovely space along with a lovely view.
