About This Home

As of August 2015

This delightful historic country home and 2-story barn built in 1870 was the original blacksmith forge for passing stagecoaches in the quaint Village of Applebachsville. This property is selling AS-IS! Backed by Lake Towhee's 300 acre county park and within 4 miles to Nockamixon State Park, this 2/3 bedroom home has random width hardwood floors, exposed beams, deep windowsills, and handcrafted doors, storage cabinets and furniture accented with hardware that was forged on site. The summer kitchen was enclosed and opens to a cozy dining and sitting area warmed by a working wood/coal stove. The front porch was enclosed and houses an office and a half bath. The finished attic has built-in drawers, cabinets and a wood stove perfect for a private study or studio. The 2 story barn was formerly used as a blacksmith shop in the 1800's and was also home to the sculpture/woodshop/forging creations of renowned artist and sculptor James K. King. The barn has built-in counters, worktables, storage, heat, electric, original forge and 2 wood/coal stoves. There is an additional shed behind the barn. A perfect sanctuary for tranquility and inspiration for the nature lover and creative talent within you!
