Property Description
Be one with nature in this peaceful and quiet retreat offering magnificent views in every season, mountain stream and rustic ambience with plenty of room to indulge a variety of interests. Circa 1860 Pennsylvania German bank barn converted in the late 1970s is now a beautiful country home on 12.56 acres of land in Albany Township Berks County. The home features a custom kitchen with Italian tile floors & granite counter tops, newer roof, HVAC and well pump/tank. As you enter the front door the expanse of the open first floor great room area expanding into the kitchen/dining area, office nook and sunroom greet you. The cathedral ceilings draw your eyes to the second floor open staircase overlooking the first floor. The first floor also offers a separate family/living room, laundry room, half bath and large walk in closet. Use of natural building materials (plenty of barn board cabinets and paneling) allow much of the space to retain its classic charm. The second floor offers 3 bedrooms and two full baths. Walk up attic (don't miss the stone wall in the stairwell leading from the first floor to the attic) provides additional space. Approximately 1400 square feet finished space in the walk out lower level is easily accessed from the sunroom or back yard and ready to bring your visions to life. You will also find an unfinished section where mechanicals are located that also provides additional storage. The large 60x34 garage/barn, with two overhead doors and 13 ft ceilings has seen many gatherings of family and friends enjoying the wood stove on the raised stone hearth in the lounge area with the other side being utilized as a workshop. The garage also houses a loft area, safe room, fermentation room and spray finishing room. As with many country properties, this one is a work in progress ready to suit a homesteaders dream farm plans. Much love, time and talent has been poured into making this a perfect retreat and the owners are still proceeding with some finishing touches. The property is enrolled in PA Act 319 AKA Clean and Green. The Sellers are providing a one year AHS home warranty. A must see and a don't miss the opportunity property. Could this be Home At Last?
