Listing description

You'd never know it from the aluminum sided exterior, but underneath is a true log home built in 1871 on 3.04 acres, within Cumru Township, and the award winning Governor Mifflin School District. This 3 bedroom 1 full bath home has the option of a fourth main level bedroom off of the living room, with sliders to the fully enclosed sun porch. It has a very nice full bath with shower/tub combination on the main level, a fully functioning and modern eat in kitchen on the main level with a very nice living room. All kitchen appliances and window treatments remain. Upstairs, there are three nice sized bedrooms with access to attic storage and the air handler for full A/C on the second floor. The basement is bone dry with both stone and block walls and a poured concrete floor, with an insulated man door that walks out to grade. The home's mechanicals are in excellent condition, with an oil fired boiler for circulated hot water, with radiators throughout the home. There is a 100 amp electrical panel with circuit breakers, a water softening system, drinking water filtration system with an ultraviolet blue light system, washer and dryer remain, as well as one chest and one stand up freezer, both in working condition. Outside you will find a little bit of woods and a very nice size yard, that the local deer enjoy very much and visit often. There is a nice size T-111 storage shed, next to a very nice detached two car garage and shop. The house has quite a bit of paneling with dated floor coverings and counter tops, and reminds you of a very nice hunting camp that you might find upstate, but all in all, the home has very good bones, with excellent mechanicals, and has certainly stood the test of time and raised numerous generations of Berks Countians. A handy person with a little sweat equity could make this a really neat little home!

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 Berks 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.
