Welcome home to this stunning late 1800s farmhouse that is mixed with historical character and modern amenities. Situated on 12+ pristine acres in Franconia Township, the possibilities of this property are endless. The large bank barn includes a hayloft, office space, and large oversized two car garage. Additionally, a separate 5 car garage with office sits at the back of the property and can be accessed by a separate driveway from the main home. This property would be appealing to any construction company/contractor, landscaping company, car enthusiast, or active farm. If you are looking into land development, this property has preliminary approval for a 4 lot subdivision through Franconia Township. This property has it all and your options are truly endless. The main farmhouse is a must see to believe, at almost 7000 square foot of living space, it offers another array of potential and possibilities. While the home doesn t currently offer an in-law suite, this home could easily be utilized as a multi family home. As you enter the front of the main house, take in the covered front porch and gaze upon your professionally landscaped grounds, fenced in horse pastures, and open fields. Upon entry to the home you are greeted with a winding staircase. To the right of entry, you will find a billiards room with solid wood double doors, built in bookcases that would be ideal for a home office, or a first floor bedroom as an in-law suite. The large family room sits at the back of the home with a stone wood burning fireplace, updated recessed lighting, new carpeting, and fresh paint. Transitioning into the original home, you will come across a full bathroom and kitchenette, ideal for the previously mentioned in-law suite option. At the front of the original home, you will enter into the formal living room. This room has a plethora of character and charm, with hardwood flooring, stone fireplace, and deep window sills bringing you back in time to solid old fashioned home construction. At the front of the original home, sits a massive sunroom, with exposed original stone walls, tile floors, and floor to ceiling windows that flood this space with an abundance of natural light. This room will have your guests raving as it provides astonishing views of the surrounding farmland, pasture, and creek. A formal dining room sits off of the sun room and provides access into the large kitchen. The tastefully upgraded kitchen features granite countertops, gorgeous white cabinetry, oak flooring, tiled backsplash, and lovely views out of every window. The second floor offers a large master bedroom suite which includes vaulted ceilings, his/her closets, and beautiful views overlooking the inground pool area. The Master bathroom is a perfect spot to soak your stresses away with a jetted soaking tub, steam shower and his & her vanities. 3 additional bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom, Laundry room, and an additional full bathroom finish off this second floor. The 3rd floor offers an additional bedroom with plenty of storage space. As you exit the back of the home, a three season room sits off of the kitchen and provides direct access to the pool area. This is a wonderful spot to soak in the spring breeze, eat meals prepared from the grill, watch guests swimming in the pool, or catch a baseball game. An attached 3 car garage provides direct access into a breezeway leading to the kitchen, and an additional full bathroom sits on the side of the garage. This bathroom is conveniently utilized as a pool house area to keep people from bringing water into the home. Two separate pastures sit along the hillside with some stalls for animal shelter. The roof of home and barn were just replaced in 2019! With an ideal location near the Northeast Extension, Lansdale Regional Train Station, 309, and 63, this home makes for an easy commute to many areas. This home needs to be viewed in person to truly appreciate all that it has to offer, set up your showing today!

R-R
Rural Resource Residential District
This article is enacted for the purpose of promoting health, safety and welfare of the Township in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Joint Municipal Comprehensive Plan. It is designed to preserve the rural atmosphere of the Township, to lessen congestion on the roads and highways, to prevent overcrowding of the land, to provide adequate light and air, and to encourage the most appropriate use of the land in the Township.; The intent of this district is to provide the opportunity for low-density single-family development while at the same time preserving as open space an amount of land approximately equal to the amount of land being developed. The density is one single-family residence per 2 developable acres and the lot size is 35,000 sq ft to 40,000 sq ft; the difference between the two, approximately 1 acre per new single-family residence goes into open space. The intent is to have a minimum open space ratio of 40 Percent, excluding any lots for existing uses based on the tract area.; A large parcel may be completely developed under the smaller lot regulations in the conditional use process, or it may be partially developed with the smaller lots leaving the balance developed or governed by the by-right provisions. There are also regulations for dividing off up to 2 individual lots from a parcel in excess of 10 acres.; The standards of the RR District will allow future residential development to occur in a manner that protects the existing agricultural lands, woodlands and open space, as well as other important rural environmental resources by maintaining a consistently low level of intensity of development in the area.; The open space may be considered a separate public or private permanent open space parcel deed restricted from further subdivision or from being separately sold, or it may be accomplished via a conservation easement over a parcel in a form approved by the Township Solicitor.
