About This Home

As of April 2025

A true one of a kind homestead! 15min to Allentown, 14min to Gilbertsville Hosp, 35min to Collegeville, Reading, or ABE airport. About an hour to PHL, 2hrs to NYC.

Ready for fall and winter, this home offers its new owners modern efficiency with Natural gas conversion 2013, New Furnace 2022, Generac standby whole house generator. Insulation and drywall added to finished areas of the house, newer efficient windows throughout the house and barn, 2 pellet stoves in barn. This house stays toasty warm on cold nights and even if the power goes out, your home will be running as usual, and without paying outrageous bills to fill an oil or propane tank.

LOW TAXES (under $4K) Act 319 with mixed-zoning.

10+ acre farmette brimming with local heritage and 21st century amenities. The Barn was used as a Speakeasy during Prohibition! The first deed of the property was recorded in 1785. Along the way in the first 200 years of this home, it was simply known as "Arundel," and had no number address until the late 20th century. The original farmhouse has undergone a few expansions since 1750, leading to its current grand entrance, spacious first floor, and 6-7 bedrooms with 3 full bathrooms and room to grow with impressive closets for an old home!

Professional appliances in the kitchen for holiday meals and treasured memories with family and friends in a beautiful dining room with built-in cabinetry, not to mention plenty of bedroom space available for out-of-town guests or large family. Dedicated laundry/mudroom area. First floor handicapped bathroom with roll-in shower and spare bedroom offers options for an office or multi-generational living.

The Barn dates to 1835 and has a tool shop and bonus space. Lower level large enough for garage conversion.

3 horse stalls, opens to pasture, chicken coop, and stream.

Fenced raised bed garden, large koi pond, and greenhouse w/ power and H20.

Situated in the corner of Berks, Montgomery, and Lehigh counties, this home is in a Prime location close to Bear Creek Resort and Green Lane Park, with a tranquil wooded stream, tillable acres, and the investment potential of commercial use with mixed use zoning. Perhaps a B&B, venue, winery or microbrewery? (Check with Twp) Agent/Licensee is Related to Seller.
