Property Description
Introducing a real treasure for history enthusiasts and lovers of unique homes! Nestled in the heart of Lower Gwynedd Township, we are thrilled to present this extraordinary log home with an enchanting story that dates back to Circa 1712. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this house is a living testament to our rich heritage.
As you step inside, you'll find yourself transported to a bygone era, where the main house started as just one room. Imagine ascending a spiral staircase, winding its way around a grand walk-in fireplace chimney that once provided the sole source of heat in what is now the dining room. The historical charm is palpable, and it's something you simply can't miss.
Did you know that the original well, which was once located outside the front door, now lies beneath the kitchen? It's been thoughtfully covered with glass, preserving its legacy and allowing you to marvel at a piece of history. And speaking of hidden gems, be sure to seek out the "soul" window in the dining room – a rare find that adds a touch of mystique to this historic home.
The current owners have meticulously cared for this property, blending modern updates seamlessly with the house's original character and charm. Inside, you'll discover a delightful sunroom, a cozy library/living room adorned with built-in bookshelves, and a main suite on the first floor that offers generous closet space, a private study, and an upgraded full bath.
You'll relish the convenience of public sewer, and the outdoor amenities are a true delight. A heated pool with a spa, along with a poolside cabana, creates a perfect space for relaxation and entertaining. This property boasts not one, but two basements – the original, and an added one. Both have remained dry since the installation of a waterproofing system.
Modern comforts are seamlessly integrated into the home, with 200 amp service and central air throughout. Enjoy the warmth of the four-zone propane gas heating system, ensuring your comfort year-round. All of this is nestled on nearly an acre of land, providing you with space and serenity to call home.
When you walk through the privacy fence onto this property, you'll feel like you've entered a hidden oasis. It's a world away, yet conveniently located near Routes 309, 202, and Bethlehem Pike, making commuting a breeze. This isn't just a home; it's a piece of history waiting for you to make your own.
Don't miss your chance to be a part of this remarkable story – schedule a viewing today! Your new home sweet home is waiting for you. PLEASE CALL ME FOR SELLERS PROPERTY DISCLOSURE STATEMENT.
