THE UTMOST IN PRIVACY! This three-story farmhouse situated on 3.2 acres has stood guard over Pottsgrove Mountain for 175 years, surrounded by 25 acres of open space, it is protected from development, providing the security of continual privacy and peace. Listed on the Upper Pottsgrove Township register of historic properties, the home was built circa 1850 entirely of local stone. It underwent a gut rehab in 1960 by the previous owner who added much of the custom trim and touches, and the current owners have meticulously performed additional renovations of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, as well as increasing living space. Oak hardwood flooring carries throughout the main level, through the open - concept living and dining room, the entire south wall exposed to the native stone, punctuated by a large fireplace with energy efficient wood-burning insert. The efficient and practically designed custom kitchen has stainless steel appliances and handcrafted solid wood cabinetry with pull-outs. Three bedrooms, all with custom- built closets and shelving, can be found on the second level, along with a completely remodeled full bath with tub/shower. In 2020 the third floor was beautifully renovated to add another bedroom, cozy bonus room (could be sixth bedroom), and full bathroom with shower. The views of the open and wooded space from this level are breathtaking. The basement is partially finished with a laundry/mudroom and half bath. Plentiful storage space, utility room, and two car heated garage complete the basement. On-site water with filtration system, modern at-grade peat septic system, hot tub, and renovated yet period-appropriate 18 x 18 shed. Four-zone heat, high velocity central AC system, 400 amp electrical service and portable generator connection that powers all essentials. The driveway was completely reconstructed and paved, and there is plenty of firewood available to harvest. Complete privacy as the home is enveloped with mature forest, nearest neighbor being more than 1000 feet away. Five minutes from Route 100, 12 minutes from Route 422 and a certified arboretum and township walking trail border the property, truly the best of both worlds! Please respect that this is a private drive, do not enter property without an appointment!
