About This Home
As of October 2021Johannes Lesher House, circa 1744, 4 BR 2.5 BA Ironmaster's Mansion nestled into the hill above the Manatawny Creek at the original site of Spangsville Village's Oley Forge. On the edge of charming and historic Spangsville Village, around the corner from a covered bridge, the home sits on just under 1.5 acres and enjoys views of the creek and the surrounding farmland in one of Oley's most idyllic settings. The main house features 7 fireplaces, foot-warn period floors, beautiful hardware and paneling, as well as, a lovely rare Palantine style balcony. Although an extensive restoration has not been finished, all new systems are in place including new heating, back up heating, septic, and central air. The Kitchen features a period brick floor and is plumbed and wired but awaits completion. The original design includes glass doors to a deck overlooking the creek. The 2 BAs upstairs, as well as, the half BA downstairs have also been plumbed and wired. The basement features a large brick barrel -vaulted root cellar which has the temperature and humidity control necessary for a wine cellar. In addition, the property features a 1.5 story, 2 BR, 1.5 BA Carriage House recently used as an antique shop with an apartment above. This 2700+ sq. ft. of additional space is perfect as a shop or studio, as well as, guest house or second home. This property is being sold as is and is a short sale and subject to bank approval.
