    What's special

    Have you ever dreamed of living in a gorgeous, restored, almost 200 year old farmhouse? Have you dreamed of living in a home with an incredible water view? Dream no more - here is it. A rare opportunity to own a home in both idyllic worlds. There's no doubt you will fall in love with this extraordinary home in beautiful Collegeville Borough. This home was totally renovated in 1990 with numerous additional improvements throughout the recent years including a kitchen that truly fits the title "heart of the home" The cabinets are a rich cherry wood and offers a farmhouse, apron sink, brushed faucet, granite counter tops and recessed lighting, porcelain tile floor, remodeled powder rm and stunning stone wall with Anderson sliders to the rear deck (more about that later). The front of the house really makes you feel like you've gone back in time with the original hardwood floors, deep window sills with restored 2' plaster walls, original wood and hardware. Although this room is very large, it is made cozy by the charming gas fireplace. You'll just want to pull up a chair and stay forever. Through the historic door with original latch you will see the access to the second floor from the original spiral staircase. This floor offers a well proportioned second bdrm with two deep-silled windows and the very lrg master bdrm with plenty of windows and charming fireplace. This floor offers the newly remodeled porcelain ceramic tile bathroom; But it doesn't end there. At the back of the house is the family room offering vaulted ceilings with recessed lights and French doors with side panels opening to a balcony to enjoy one incredible view of the gorgeous Perkiomen creek. The third floor has two additional large bedrooms and another, nicely remodeled full bathroom. Now for what may be the best feature. Through the French doors in the kitchen is the double tiered deck and half acre lot, ending at the bank of the creek - you can boat, fish or just enjoy the sights and sounds of nature at her best. Also on the property is a custom built shed made from Pennsylvania Hemlock, pine & maple in the style of a log cabin. Nothing about this house is ordinary. It oozes character and charm 02/13/15
