332 Balthaser Rd Lenhartsville, PA 19534

Built in 1843, this 19th century stone farmhouse is very special indeed. Charming in its own right with exposed wood beams and posts, stone walls, and wonderfully deep window sills, this gem also boasts the unique, artistic craftsmanship of custom designed, detailed woodwork throughout the main floor. In fact, open the cabinets in the galley style kitchen and see the same quality workmanship and design with the drawers and shelving, as well. Similarly, aside the kitchen, there is a custom half bath. A large walk-in fireplace adds that warm, soulful, welcoming feel you crave. It is sealed and insulated, and set up with a propane insert, should you choose to heat with gas. So, if you prefer an open floor plan but don't want to sacrifice coziness and historical character? This one's for you. Additional features of the main floor include three strategically located hook-ups for cable, plenty of outlets (electrical lines run to a junction box located in the attic), upgraded track lighting, and vintage decor both high and low. Now the second story does need some TLC, but the bathroom is updated and has washer/dryer hookup for second floor convenience. The three bedrooms are spacious with impressive, high ceilings, and there is a balcony located off the rear bedroom overlooking the backyard with lovely views of the rolling fields. A second bedroom provides entry to a large open attic, with lots of storage space or for other uses you may have. In the basement, you'll find that the mechanicals are upgraded, well maintained and serviced. Outside, there are multiple outbuildings including a garden shed with upper level smokehouse, a six bay garage, a massive bank barn with lower level dugway, a wagon shed/corn crib, and a foundation where there once stood a beloved workshop. 140+ acres, complete with pine trees (orange scented, too), a pond, woodlands and crop farming (109 acres are tilled), all of this is in a dreamscape of denim blue skies and an abundance of wildlife. Located in northern Berks County near Reading, PA, this farm is central to Allentown, Lancaster, Philadelphia and neighboring New York, New Jersey, and Delaware. *Property is being sold As-Is Where-Is. **Entry on property without an appointment and the listing agent is prohibited.
