    What's special

    Exquisite stone exteriorExisting fencingUnique paintingsOpen floor planElevated positionBreakfast areaLarge landing area
    History is calling in Boyertown! 1765 to be exact. With an elevated position on a 2.5 acre lot, this converted barn residence is only becoming available due to a work transfer. Pick up where the sellers have left off and bring your finishing touches to this 4 BR / 2.5 BA home with 3500+ sf of space. Walking up to the front door, you’ll appreciate the exquisite stone exterior with vertical ventilation slits. Entering through the vestibule foyer, you are met by an open floor plan with easy access between 2 living rooms and dining room. Admire the exposed stone with accent lighting. Look for the carpenter's marks on certain beams. Discover the unique paintings in between the beams near the fireplace, left by a prior owner who was an artist. The large kitchen gets great light and includes a breakfast area. A laundry room and half-bath complete this level. Head upstairs to find a very large landing area which could be a great office space, game room, or play area. The primary bedroom is the showstopper...this large room gets loads of light through 4 skylights (2 of which open by remote control) and features soaring cathedral ceilings, a fireplace, and en suite bath. The remaining 3 bedrooms are all good size, with closets. Hall bath is huge with a clawfoot tub. The large, private back yard provides many options for use, with a gentle slope, existing fencing, and 2 sheds. You can choose to relax on 2 wooden decks. The current owners have enjoyed many sunsets from this elevated viewpoint. Storage is plentiful, with pull-down attic access and a clean unfinished basement with multiple rooms. Walk out from the basement to the attached carport/garage, which is large enough for at least 2 cars, plus storage. 2 mini-splits have been added to provide cooling. Furnace was new in 2019. New well pressure pump in 2024. Locals love the historical Boyertown area with its small-town feel, local farm stands, charming downtown, and numerous community events throughout the year. This is an excellent opportunity for history lovers!
