About This Home

As of March 2025

Circa 1850’s farmhouse with separate living quarters on a picturesque 1.7 acre lot in the rolling hills of Lower Heidelberg Twp. Ever wonder what it would be like to wake up and sip your morning coffee while looking out over a pond with ducks and a swan??? This 3br/1b home needs lots of TLC, but for the right buyer this home could be the perfect place to make your own. The main level consists of a large living room with wide wood plank floors and a equally large eat in kitchen. Upstairs there are three private bedrooms and a full bath. For storage there is a full walk up attic and a full unfinished basement. The detached living space is a small 2 story 1br home. The apartment is in better shape than the main house but could use some work as well. Other structures on the property are a small smokehouse (which also needs work) and a spring house. The spring house has a upper story that could serve as small workshop. A truly rare find, set up a showing today!
