CREATE THE VICTORIAN HOME OF YOUR DREAMS WITH THIS "BLANK SLATE!" You can own a piece of Lansdale's history with this 1877(this date written into the plaster in the cellar) beautiful enclosed-front-porch Victorian-era farmhouse. The listing price for this property is unheard of for a property this size, condition, and location in the NPSD! The main house is brick with enclosed front and back porches. The kitchen, on the back of the house, was at one time a porch as well; there is also a second-story enclosed sunporch with a lovely SW exposure, for plants and rocking chairs in the winter! The wood siding is painted cedar tongue-and groove, which, in combination with the brick, gives this house a sturdy yet gracefully timeless appeal. Needing cosmetic attention, the home has been well-maintained and well-loved through the years, having the same owners for 52 years! The first floor boasts a wonderful 26 x 10 enclosed front porch, a living room on one side of the marvelous stained wood staircase with intact newel posts, and a dining room/library on the other side, with built-in shelves and a "pass-through" for circulation of heat, giving a feeling of openness. The family room houses a walk-in fireplace which can be restored; it also contains the current laundry room. It opens to a very practical back porch which additionally serves entrances to the kitchen and living room. At the far end of the house is a large, 17 x 10 eat-in kitchen. Upstairs there is a hall bath which connects to the upstairs sunporch. There are three bedrooms on the second floor, and three more possible bedrooms/offices/playrooms/storage space on the third floor, FOR A POSSIBILITY OF SIX BEDROOMS TOTAL. There are many appealing architectural features such as the walk-in fireplace, cornices and trim around the windows and doors, cedar plank ceiling on the front porch, French doors that open to the front porch, original hardware on the doors, and a basement root cellar. There was once a back staircase which can be restored as well. The heater was replaced in 1991 and the roof in 2007. There is a 2-car garage and workshop (with newer roof), and storage space in the pumphouse as well. Be very careful on the stairs going to the third floor, as the metal trim could be tripped over if one is not cautious. This property is being sold "as is." Inspections are welcome, but no repairs will be made. Two blocks to Septa Doylestown Line; walking distance to everything Lansdale!
