About This Home

As of October 2022

Historic brownstone farmhouse on an open, level lot with the added bonus of a gues house at the back of yard.... The main farmhouse built in the 1800's features approximately 2,000+ sq. ft. of living space, featuring refinished wide plank hardwood floors in the living room, dining room and sitting room. For a farmhouse, the ceilings are high, and rooms are a good size....There are newer replacement windows throughout the home, but, still have the charm of the deep window sills.....The living room is complimented by a "bay style" window arrangement with bench seating....The kitchen features new cabinetry, updated counter tops and tile flooring with a bonus second set of stairs to the upper floor... .There is a room off of the kitchen that can serve as a spacious laundry room, and a mud room off the side of the house....Upstairs there are 3 large bedrooms and one full modern bathroom.... This home is complete with a newer heating system, new sump pump system and a backup sump pump for added safety. The septic tanks have been replaced in 2020 with 2 1,500 gallon tanks to complete the new holding tank system, for added piece of mind. Walk up full height attic could be finished into additional living space, plus huge 2 section basement with bilco door that is convenient for storage pace... Former smoke house in yard provides extra storage for the gardener! The property comes with a separate guest house of approximately 1,100 sq. ft. that also has been renovated with 1 bedroom, a kitchen and 1 bath and second floor that could creatively be finished into an office or extra living space, perfect for in-laws, college students, or overnight guests . Please check with East Coventry Township for approvals. The large yard provides room to run - while back lot provides plenty of off street parking with a nice country feel on this 1/2+ acre lot, while still close to all major amenities and highways. The East Coventry Elementary and Owen J Roberts Middle and High Schools are all nearby. Own an updated bit of history as this one of kind property. For peace of mind, a 1 year AHS Home Warranty is offered at settlement to the buyers. Seller is also repairing the floor in the guest house bathroom.... **The Barn is not part of the property at 729 Old Schuylkill Road.
