About This Home

As of April 2025

+HIGHEST AND BEST BY MONDAY 2/24 AT 8PM+ Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Orwigsburg, this absolutely stunning, fully renovated farmhouse sits on a serene 2-acre lot, offering the perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury. Every inch of this home has been meticulously restored and upgraded no expense spared, ensuring a seamless fusion of old-world character and contemporary convenience.

The heart of the home is the breathtaking real wood stone fireplace, a magnificent piece of history dating back to the 1800s, lovingly preserved to retain its authentic beauty. The home’s deep-set windows invite natural light to flood in, creating cozy sunlit nooks where you can relax and take in the tranquil scenery. Soaring high ceilings enhance the feeling of spaciousness, while the tasteful restoration highlights the farmhouse’s unique character.

Designed for both comfort and functionality, this six-bedroom layout is a rare find. With three conveniently located first-floor bedrooms and three additional bedrooms upstairs, the home offers versatile living arrangements for families of all sizes. The bathrooms are nothing short of spectacular, featuring high-end finishes that bring a spa-like ambiance to your daily routine.

The gourmet kitchen is an absolute showstopper. Boasting granite countertops, luxury backsplash, and state-of-the-art appliances, this space is thoughtfully designed for both the avid home chef and those who love to entertain. The open layout flows effortlessly into the dining and living areas, making it the perfect spot to gather and create lasting memories.

This home has been completely transformed with brand-new everything, ensuring a stress-free and low-maintenance living experience with your bottom dollar in mind. All lighting is high efficient LED, and appliances are Energy Star qualified. Every room has it's own heating zone and the mini splits are extremely efficient in summer as well as winter. Updates include a brand-new roof, new septic system, new mini splits throughout for efficient heating and cooling, all-new 200-amp electrical system, all-new plumbing, and a brand-new water heater—every detail has been executed to perfection!

Step outside, and you’ll be captivated by the incredible views and level, open land, perfect for gardening, outdoor entertaining, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet of country living. The property also includes a one-car garage, providing convenient storage for your vehicle or equipment.

Despite its tranquil rural setting, this home is just minutes from everything you need—shopping, Geisinger’s medical facilities, charming boutiques, top-rated restaurants, coffee houses, and salons—all just a short drive away.

This is the dream home you’ve been waiting for—where historic beauty meets modern comfort in a breathtaking setting. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this one-of-a-kind farmhouse yours!
