Property Description
Lovely Oley Valley Circa 1871 stone farmhouse. Located in what was once known as the "Village of Basket", sits a pristine 5+ acres farmette offering a stone farmhouse, bank barn, studio/workshop, oversized 3-car garage, 2 apple trees, 18 blueberry bushes and majestic views! The 3 bedrooms, 2-1/2 bath stone house has been updated providing modern comforts ? geothermal heat, central air & Anderson windows. Entrance from the private patio you are welcomed into a quaint family room that was once the summer kitchen. The previous owner incorporated the summer kitchen with its massive fireplace and 'beehive oven', perfect for baking bread or pizza, into the original home creating additional living space. A peak behind the fireplace reveals the original smokehouse. The country kitchen features custom cherry cabinets, Corian countertops, tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances, built in Sub Zero refrigerator and a handy desk area. The fantastic dining room is sized to host a crowd! The formal living room is warmed by an additional stone fireplace and highlights original architectural features such as a built-in corner cabinet, deep windowsills, exposed beams and raised paneled walls. The second floor features the large master bedroom with a private bath and unexpected ample closet space! The 2nd bedroom is also a generous size with good closet space. The 3rd bedroom is true to its period ? exposed stonewall, built in storage cabinet, and a country cozy d cor! The 2 bedrooms share the 2nd full bath. The 2nd floor is accessed by either the original pie step staircase or the extra-wide staircase from the main living area. The basement provides a ton of storage space, laundry, the mechanicals of the home and the original well. The stone foundation walls have been beautifully repointed creating a dry workable space! A Bilco door also accesses the outside. A second building the owners call the "Little House", is a finished 2- story structure that is currently used for a wood working shop. Electric is in use and provisions have been made so that water/plumbing can be accessed from the main house. A huge oversized detached 3-car garage with 9' insulated doors, beautiful bank barn with fencing for animals and a root cellar round out this charming farmette. The land itself is dotted with mature trees, open space, and stone border walls along the rear and West property lines. The large field to the East of the home is perfect for various crops.
