About This Home

As of August 2021

Feast your eyes on this wonderful property situated right on the main drag of the booming metropolis of Ephrata but with its own uniquely bucolic setting! Once you park in the private off-street parking to the rear you'll be greeted by an original carriage house that is just a few small projects away from becoming in-law quarters or small rental/storage/home-based business! As you traverse the spacious park-like backyard on the way to the main house you'll be amazed at all the activities summertime could bring! The house itself features an incredible country-style kitchen, original hardwood floors, and more modern comforts mixed with old-time charm! Definitely do not miss your chance to jump right into this hidden gem, schedule your showing today!
