Property Description

Rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved historic home in Bern Township and the Schuylkill Valley School District. Originally built as a log cabin in 1865, this cherished property has been lovingly maintained by the same family for generations while thoughtfully updated for modern living, including central air conditioning. Set on a level half-acre lot, this character-filled home welcomes you with a large covered front porch, enclosed side porch, and ample off-street parking. Enter through the mudroom into the spacious country kitchen featuring abundant cabinetry, a center island with seating, and plenty of room for gathering. The kitchen flows into the dining area where a stunning stone wood-burning fireplace with original hand-hewn beam mantel serves as the centerpiece of the home. Continue into the double living room where exposed ceiling beams, beautiful woodwork, a bay window, and hardwood floors beneath much of the carpeting showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era. A full bath, attached garage access, and rear yard entry complete the main level. Upstairs, the home's history comes alive. At the landing, an exposed original log wall immediately captures your attention. The spacious primary bedroom offers private deck access, creating the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or unwind in the evening. A second large bedroom features another exposed log wall, rich wood accents, and timeless charm. Beyond this room is a flexible bonus space ideal for a home office, nursery, dressing room, craft room, or potential fourth bedroom. Hidden stairs, once believed to connect servants' quarters to the kitchen below, add to the home's fascinating story. Across the landing, a third spacious bedroom showcases yet another exposed log wall and beautiful wood ceiling. From this room, access the walk-up attic offering excellent storage and future possibilities. A second full bath completes the upper level. Outside, enjoy the peaceful country setting, level yard, and large storage shed. Offering original log walls, historic charm, flexible living space, modern conveniences, and a location just minutes from shopping, dining, schools, and major commuter routes, this is a truly special property that rarely comes available.
