Listing description

Set within the peaceful countryside of East Penn School District, this charming rural homestead offers the kind of property buyers often hope to find but rarely do. Surrounded by open space and country scenery, the 3 bedroom, 1 bath farmhouse sits on approximately one acre with Rural zoning that allows for animals, creating the ideal setting for a hobby farm, mini farmette, or country retreat lifestyle. At the heart of the property stands the impressive 44x28 stately two-story barn, creating both a visual centerpiece and highly functional space for animals, hobbies, equipment, workshop use, or storage. The fenced pasture area adds to the property’s farmette appeal, offering room for small livestock, gardening, chickens, hobby farming, or simply enjoying the open outdoor space. Updated electric service in the barn, newer roofs on both the home and barn, and newer vinyl windows on the house provide valuable improvements while maintaining the property’s country character. Inside, the home offers warm and comfortable living space filled with charm and functionality. Wood floors carry throughout much of the first floor, where a spacious kitchen with dining area connects via steps to the mudroom, laundry area, and everyday drop zone entrance. The inviting family room features a fireplace, open staircase, and additional open dining, office, or flex space, creating a comfortable gathering area at the center of the home. A second rear staircase from the kitchen adds additional character and convenience leading to one of the second floor bedrooms. Upstairs, the layout includes a lofted bedroom area, full bath, and two additional bedrooms. Outdoors, a pergola and detached shed provide additional opportunities for storage, workshop space, recreation, or creative use. Despite the peaceful rural setting, the property remains conveniently close to restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, hospitals, and major routes, offering a balance of quiet country living with everyday convenience.
