Property Description
This is your chance to own a whole lot of land and a piece of local history in Berks! This fantastic 1737 stone and wood home on 11+ acres blends an extraordinary past, originally owned by William Penn's brother, with modern upgrades and conveniences fit for today's living.
The home's exterior is highlighted by a cedar shake and metal roof with a sprawling covered porch, while the rest of the property is bursting with endless possibilities from countless outbuildings and space — from a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom sprawling apartment to a seven-car garage, a formal office with a fireplace, a six-stall barn with metal roof and electric, and a beautiful spring-fed pond.
Through the main entry, you're greeted by awesome wood floors that flow throughout the main level to the lovely living room, highlighted by wood-burning fireplace, dry bar and kitchenette, and curved staircase. Sharing the fireside glow is the bright dining room, enjoying sunlight from double glass doors to the back deck and open flow to the breakfast room.
The kitchen fuses farmhouse charm with gourmet convenience— from its butcher block and granite countertops, farm sink, stone wall, and exposed beam ceilings to stainless steel appliances, wine fridge, and breakfast bar overlooking the spacious breakfast room with wrap-around, built-in bench, skylights, and a view of your pond through a wall of windows.
The epic family room is elevated by a soaring 10ft. ceilings with wood beams, a walk-in fireplace surrounded by a stone accent wall, built-in shelves and cabinets, a kitchenette and dry bar, and a separate entrance. And cozy up with a good book in the bright sunroom with brick floors, skylights, and wood accent wall.
The Master creates a unique haven with a propane gas fireplace, wood ceilings lined with beams, and wainscoting, as well as a huge cedar walk-in closet. Its private bathroom has a wood floor, cathedral ceiling with exposed beams and a skylight, double sink, a large tile shower, jacuzzi tub, and private laundry hook up. A 5th BR/bonus room with a cathedral/vaulted ceiling with skylights and an extra half bathroom above offers potential for a “master wing,” from what was a previous Maids Quarters on one side of the house.
Three secondary bedrooms enjoy wood floors and closets share a full hall bathroom with a tile floor and shower with sliding doors on the second floor.
The massive lower-level rec room has a wood-burning fireplace and kitchenette, as well as laundry with a wash bin sink and built-in shelves, while a second basement offers tons of storage space and walk out to the backyard.
Enjoy the investment potential from a full 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom "barndominium" apartment with a private entrance, cathedral wood ceiling with exposed beams and skylights, a tile kitchen with Corian countertops, stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, double sink, pantry, and breakfast room; plus full tile bathroom with tub/shower.
