About this home
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 homestead 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 the opportunity this property represents.
Set on 3.47 acres with scenic views of the Schuylkill River, this 1737 farmhouse offers a rare blend of history and thoughtful updates. Original details like fireplaces, woodwork, and flooring have been carefully preserved, giving the home a warmth you simply cannot recreate.
The entry hall welcomes you with slate flooring and high ceilings, leading into a bright and inviting living room featuring period floors and a fireplace with a Delft tile surround—an ideal space to gather or unwind. The kitchen brings modern convenience into the home’s historic charm, complete with Bertazzoni appliances, a decorative fireplace, propane cooking, and space for a dining area.
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 setting truly shines with a patio for relaxing or entertaining, a standby generator, and peaceful river views across the property.
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. PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS COMING BY APR 30...
