Character-filled 3BR, 2BA farmhouse dating back to 1820, tucked away in a peaceful, bucolic setting in Upper Mount Bethel Township! Surrounded by expansive acreage owned by Pennsylvania American Water, this unique property offers wonderful privacy and a true sense of retreat. Enjoy views of a beautiful nearby pond, a stream at the rear of the property, a garden area, and a cozy firepit area--all creating an idyllic country setting. Inside, the main level features hardwood flooring throughout and a bright, beautifully remodeled kitchen with abundant cabinetry, Corian countertops, and tile backsplash. The spacious living/dining room combination is full of character with rustic exposed-beam ceilings, a beautiful barn door, and a lovely Dutch door leading to the covered front porch. A versatile first-floor bedroom, currently used as an office, features vaulted ceilings, and a full bath completes the main level. Upstairs you'll find two spacious bedrooms, including one with a beautiful barn door, along with a convenient laundry room/full bath combination. The fully walk-out lower level provides additional storage and utility space, with even more storage available beneath the porch. Outside, a newer detached 2-car garage includes partially finished space above, offering exciting potential for future use. Buyers should verify permitted uses and any required approvals with Upper Mount Bethel Township. Major improvements include a new septic system installed in 2019 and roof replacement in 2021. Perfect for someone looking to explore a homesteading lifestyle or simply enjoy the warmth, history, and character of a home from yesteryear. Located in the heart of the Slate Belt, this secluded property feels worlds away while still offering convenient access to the Poconos and Lehigh Valley.
