About This Home

As of May 2018

Have you been dreaming of a home in the country with beautiful views and a meandering stream in the backyard? Your fantasy is over! Turn this cozy rancher into a reality and make it your home. You can set your watch by the timely deer sightings at 4pm most afternoons. This home has been lovingly cared for by the same owner for the last sixty-five years and the pride of homeownership sparkles. The house is neat and tidy with fresh paint, hardwood floors, a new furnace, new roof, a new steel bilco door, and all replacement windows. There are two sheds (10x10 and 10x12) for extra storage, a fruiting cherry (sour) tree, and banks of wild mint along the stream to make homemade tea. The well is spring fed and a quaint springhouse sits in the rear yard. Don't miss this special opportunity to buy in the heart of the Oley Valley just minutes from the Weis Market, gas station, Dunkin' Donuts, and all of the Oley school campuses. This gem is waiting for you!
