Description
There was a time when this route along the Schuylkill River carried travelers between Philadelphia and Reading, with stops along the way offering rest, conversation, and a place to stay the night. Today, that journey may look different, but the setting remains.
Set on 3.47 acres, this historic 1737 farmhouse offers a unique chance to own a property shaped by generations before it—where original character and modern updates come together. The next chapter is ready to be written by someone who appreciates both the history and updates.
The large entry hall welcomes you with slate flooring and high ceilings, leading into an inviting living room filled with natural light, featuring period floors and a fireplace with a Delft tile. The kitchen brings modern convenience into the home’s historic charm, complete with stainless steel Bertazzoni appliances, a decorative fireplace, propane cooking, and space for a dining area. Large windows overlooking the Schuylkill River make this room great for both entertaining or simply sipping your morning coffee.
Upstairs, four bedrooms offer flexibility for how you live today, whether you need workspace, dressing space, or guest rooms. The updated hall bath adds a clean, refreshed feel while staying true to the home’s character. A walk-up attic opens the door to future possibilities.
Outside, the property truly comes into its own. A patio invites relaxed evenings and easy entertaining, while open acreage and peaceful river views create a setting that feels both private and expansive. A standby generator adds peace of mind.
A standout feature is the oversized detached two-car garage, offering a full workshop area and a walk-up second floor—ideal for storage, hobbies, or potential studio space.
Properties like this do not come along often, where history, setting, and livability all come together.
