    What's special

    Stone exteriorPreserved period detailsStorybook wishing wellFirst-floor powder roomDesirable corner lotOriginal architectural accentsExpansive driveway
    A rare expression of craftsmanship and character, this circa-1920 French Normandy residence showcases architectural integrity seldom found in today’s homes. From the moment you enter, slate flooring, graceful archways, and preserved period details set the tone for a home that feels both storied and inviting. The foyer unfolds into a series of intimate yet connected spaces, where built-in corner cabinetry, a charming reading nook, and original architectural accents create warmth and authenticity. The living room is anchored by one of two stone fireplaces and opens through French doors to a covered porch—an effortless extension of indoor-outdoor living, ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. The kitchen blends classic elegance with modern function, featuring granite countertops and generous workspace suited for both everyday living and hosting. A formal dining room offers an elegant setting for gatherings, while four bedrooms, two full baths on the upper level, and a first-floor powder room preserve the home’s era-appropriate charm with thoughtful livability. Thoughtful original features continue to elevate the home’s character, including a functioning laundry chute that speaks to the home’s historic design and enduring practicality. The finished lower level adds approximately 600 square feet of versatile living space with laundry room—ideal for a media room, home office, gym, or additional entertaining area—enhancing both functionality and lifestyle appeal. The exterior is as captivating as the interior, a true expression of French Normandy charm enhanced by artisan craftsmanship. A gently winding stone walkway leads to a distinctive, character-rich front entry, offering a preview of the architectural elegance found throughout the home. Carefully curated details—including a storybook wishing well, a weather vane integrated into the stone façade, copper flashing, and three porches (two covered)—create a sense of old-world romance and authenticity rarely achieved in modern construction. The stone exterior, mature landscaping, and layered outdoor living spaces provide both visual drama and everyday functionality, making the home feel equally refined and welcoming from every angle. Positioned on a desirable corner lot with a two-car garage with EV charging outlet and expansive driveway, the property is framed by mature trees in a quiet residential setting. Located within the Boyertown Area School District and just a short walk to Boyertown’s seasonal downtown events and local farmers market. Additionally, the home offers convenient access to local shops, dining, and attractions, including Frecon Farms and the popular Colebrookdale Railroad. More than a home, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history—beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated for modern living. Homes of this caliber rarely change hands.
