Property Description

No more showings. Step into the charm of this 19th-century stone farmhouse set on nearly 7 picturesque acres in Barto, PA. Offering 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, this property blends timeless character with serene country living. Exterior highlights include a wraparound porch overlooking the grounds, a wonderful 3-stall barn with a new metal roof, fruit trees, blueberry bushes, and both a small and large spring-fed pond stocked with trout. The property also features 5 natural springs, a historic spring house, and even a functioning outhouse for added rustic charm. Inside, hardwood floors flow throughout the home. The main level offers a welcoming living room with a large picture window, a fireplace, and a dining room accented with a wood-burning stove and built-in cabinetry. The spacious kitchen features a gas stove, wall oven, stone fireplace, freestanding propane stove, and a cozy alcove sitting area, plus a den for flexible living space.
