Don't miss this Extraordinary Opportunity to own a piece of Historical Charm in Lancaster County! Dating back to 1840, this residence, now boasting 4 bedrooms, was originally constructed for the manager of the preserved and still-operational Bowmansville Roller Mill. An addition was added in 1910, further enhancing the historical significance of the property. What sets this property apart is its unique connection to history, as the mill race runs directly beneath a section of the home. Retaining its original character, the house showcases timeless features, including wooden doors, iron door hardware, 24" deep window sills, a non-operational stone bread oven, and exposed stone and wood beams. While maintaining its historic appeal, the home has been updated with modern appliances, updated bathrooms, central air installed two years ago, and a three year old furnace. Complementing the residence are a bank barn and storage barn, providing endless possibilities for storage, potential animal housing, or any creative endeavors you envision. Situated on a 4.4 acre lot, the property features picturesque elements such as a pasture, meandering stream, and the mill race. Zoning for the home is residential medium, and for the outbuildings, zoning is neighborhood commercial. Immerse yourself in the rich history and unique features of this captivating estate, where every corner tells a story of the past!
