Step into timeless elegance at this masterfully restored 1830 Pennsylvania Dutch Farmhouse nestled on 13 pristine acres. This 6-bedroom, 3.5- bath historic estate has been fully renovated down to the studs using reclaimed materials from the original property and local stone — blending heritage with luxury country living. The chef’s kitchen is the centerpiece, showcasing custom cherry cabinetry, soapstone countertops, a Viking 6-burner gas range, and a one-of-a-kind wood-fired oven that is often used for the most fabulous home cooked meals. Natural light fills the space, while the windows offer scenic views of the pool and horse pastures, creating a picturesque backdrop to every meal. Bathed in natural light and warmed by rich hardwood floors, the formal living room on the main floor is a cozy yet elegant retreat. When your guests get a little too cozy, a thoughtfully designed main-floor guest or in-law suite offers a private bedroom and full bathroom, ideal for multi-generational living. At the heart of the home lies the breathtaking Great Room , a true showcase of traditional Germanic peg-built craftsmanship. A striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a wood burning stove not only anchors the space with historic character but also provides radiant heat that rises to warm the second floor. Bathed in natural light from all sides, this room is both a gathering space and a sanctuary — ideal for cozy evenings by the fire or entertaining under the glow of its timber-framed beauty. Step out onto the expansive back deck and take in panoramic views of the heated pool, charming pool house, barn, multiple outbuildings and sweeping horse pastures beyond. Bring the Horses! 13 pristine acres! Carol Ilg REALTOR® (484) 663-3332 cilg@homesale.com
