Property Description

Welcome to a home with uncompromising craftsmanship and impeccable attention to detail. Nestled in nearly two acres of conservation land located within the rolling hills of District Township, Berks County, exists a rare vernacular farmhouse surrounded by woodlands, natural streams, and views of picturesque historic farms. This stunning three-year project was custom designed by a Bucks County architectural firm in close collaboration with the owners and completed in the spring of 2023. As you step onto the wraparound porch, built with reclaimed hemlock threshing floorboards, you'll immediately understand what sets this home apart. The exterior custom milled beaded edge horizontal siding on the 2-story section of the house is contrasted against the vertical board and batten siding of the 1-story section. The competing areas are pulled together by the proud detailing of the special-order double hung, divided lite, Marvin windows and REEB exterior doors. The Marvin windows feature tilt-in access for ease of cleaning. Inside, the generous, light-filled “keeping room” invites you to unwind. The welcoming open living space is anchored by a dramatic waterfall staircase, and custom-milled random-width red oak hardwood floors that are fastened with rose head cut nails. The exquisite kitchen is equipped with custom cabinetry, GE Café appliances, and dark walnut butcher block countertops. The dining area connects the sitting room which is complemented with painted wainscotting that was milled from poplar trees felled on the property. Enjoy the warmth of the authentic Rumford wood-burning fireplace on those wintry nights and when the hot summer nights come along, take advantage of central air, or listen for the closure of the screen door as you head outside to enjoy the front porch. Off the keeping room is a spacious bedroom with deep wall-to-wall closets and reclaimed antique raised panel doors featuring original hardware. An adjoining bathroom with a large decorative tiled shower and a beautifully repurposed dry sink vanity leads to a side hall with additional pantry storage and an elegant 15-divided lite exterior door. Down the hall, a cheerful laundry room and a second bedroom with its own dedicated mini-split system round out the first floor, along with a light-filled studio and workshop space with direct outdoor access. Head back to the staircase designed for gradual ascension to the sunny primary suite with a large sitting area. A spacious master bath features another antique vanity, a massive shower with views of open farmland and a walk-in closet. The private home office, additional closet, and attic storage complete the second floor. Outside, walk the flat fenced lot and then cross over the stream via a small bridge that leads to the balance of the wooded property. An attached insulated and heated lean-to shed clad with reclaimed barn siding and tin roof houses all modern plumbing systems: well pump, hot water heater, water conditioning equipment plus additional storage space. A detached 600 square foot, board-and-batten two-bay run-in garage offers oversized storage for two vehicles along with room for property maintenance equipment, tools, and toys. Close enough to access major employment, recreation, and transportation centers, yet far enough to revel in the unhurried pace of the surrounding farmlands. An exceptional opportunity to own a truly handcrafted home where every detail tells a story of traditional design, quality materials, and artisan craftsmanship in concert with contemporary amenities.
