Property Description
This secluded Homestead is nestled upon the Historic Mount Penn Preserve. Enjoy nature on the 2.76 -acre mountainside paradise featuring natural springs, centuries-old forest land, stone walls, stone stairs used by travelers of yesteryears to collect spring water, and out-buildings, including a workshop, woodshed, detached garage, spring house, and chicken coop.
The 3-bedroom circa 1900 home has been updated and remodeled yet retains its character and charm. Windows are large and plentiful to enjoy the views outside. The first floor features a large living room with built in bookcases and cabinetry. A spacious screened in porch complete with a swing provides a place to relax and enjoy the solitude. From the living room, travel down a few steps to the sunken family room that showcases hardwood flooring, a fireplace, a window seat with bench storage, a broom closet, built-in cabinetry, casement windows, and outside access to the back patio. The kitchen provides gas cooking and has all new stainless-steel appliances, new cabinets, tile counters and backsplash. A breakfast bar separates the kitchen and dining room with hardwood flooring. There is a full bath with heated floor, first floor laundry, and mud room with ceramic tile that leads to the back patio. The wooden patio is surrounded by stone walls and is the perfect place for the family to gather. A smaller, slate patio at the front of the house is a peaceful spot to get away from it all.
The second floor features a large master bedroom with his and hers closets, hardwood floor, and fantastic views of the grounds. There are two additional bedrooms and a remodeled full bath that showcases a vessel sink and ceramic tile shower with rainfall showerhead.
Follow the pathway that meanders up the mountain and find opportunities for hunting and collecting the bounties of nature. Harvest wild raspberries, paw paws (think mangoes), apples, and fresh eggs from the property. The new owner will have the option to keep the chickens and can even vend eggs from the roadside egg box.
Don’t miss the opportunity to see this very special home and property and all it has to offer. Here’s your chance to own a piece of the mountain!
