Listing description

Own a piece of Montgomery County history with this remarkable circa 1714 Colonial, beautifully situated on 1.25 acres in Blue Bell. Originally part of a much larger historic farm, this exceptional property is the only surviving house from the former Miller farm and has been thoughtfully enlarged, restored, and modernized through the years while preserving its historic character. Beautiful original woodwork, distinctive architectural details, an interior end chimney, shutters, and a historic hearth offer a wonderful connection to the home's 18th-century origins. Today, the home offers 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and an inviting blend of timeless character and modern comfort. The beautifully maintained woodwork adds warmth and charm throughout, while the modernized kitchen provides the functionality expected for today's lifestyle. Surrounded by mature trees, the peaceful 1.25-acre setting offers a private, serene atmosphere, while the beautiful slate-covered patio with awning creates an inviting space for relaxing or entertaining. A detached two-car garage adds convenience and storage. Recent improvements include new gutters in 2022; most windows and doors replaced by Renewal by Andersen in 2023; a new walk-in shower in 2024; all roofs and chimneys replaced in 2024; a new dishwasher in 2022; refrigerator in 2024; and washer and microwave in 2025. Ideally located near shopping, supermarkets, restaurants, and major roadways, including Routes 73 and 202, Germantown Pike, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, I-476 and I-76. Approximately 45 minutes to Center City Philadelphia and Philadelphia International Airport, depending on traffic. A truly special opportunity to own a home with centuries of history, beautiful grounds, original character, and thoughtful modern updates. Mortgage savings may be available for buyers of this listing.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $224,030, well below the ~$357,600 its asking price implies at Montgomery County's common level ratio (29.8%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $4,173/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($224,030, 1996 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Montgomery County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
