Over 5 ½ acres of pastures and woods surround this beautiful Washington Township homestead in East Berlin. The original home, built in 1790, boasts high ceilings, exposed log walls, and original floors. The home has had two additions in its lifetime, the first in the 1800’s that includes a gorgeous floor to ceiling hand chiseled stone fireplace completely cleaned and repointed in 2015. The original beehive oven location is still visible on the back wall of the fireplace. The second addition of the master suite was completed in 2016 and includes original refinished wide plank floors, trim made from the original rafters and original barn door tracks repurposed for the bathroom and walk-in closet. The master bath has a 1900’s claw foot tub and separate 3x5 shower, double vanity, and custom tile. This lovely home has three bedrooms, and two large multipurpose rooms with the potential of being utilized as bedrooms. 2nd floor laundry room also includes an area to rough in for a full bathroom. The main floor of the home includes a living room, dining room, kitchen, ½ bath, mudroom and large addition with many potential uses. All windows have been replaced and the original windows have been repurposed into a greenhouse within the large, 8 foot tall fenced garden. While this historic home has its original charm the house has been updated with two zone HVAC, 200 amp electric service, water treatment system, pvc and pex plumbing, new well line and electric wire to well pump, whole house Tyvek wrap, siding and roof installed in 2016. A separate two car oversized garage 24x32 with 12’ ceiling has reinforced concrete pad for potential addition of a two post car lift. The garage includes a 60 gallon, two stage air compressor. A 24x15 composite deck with hot tub (both installed in 2020) adorns the back of the garage creating a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the countryside and rose garden. The 40x50 German Bank Barn, built by George Quickel in 1891 has three stalls and large area for storage. This ground floor area was dug out and a drainage system installed in 2016. Multiple barn beams and flooring were replaced in 2014. A large, completely enclosed chicken coop was built in 2017 on the side of the barn. The property also has a two stall tractor garage and additional wood shed. The property is zoned rural residential and woodland preservation - please check with Washington Township for allowable uses. Property being sold As-Is.
