PRIVACY, CHARACTER & A TRUE COUNTRY SETTING! Tucked away in Upper Mount Bethel Township, this character-filled 2-3BR, 2BA farmhouse dating back to 1820 offers a rare sense of seclusion, surrounded by expansive acreage owned by Pennsylvania American Water. With no neighboring homes immediately surrounding the property, the setting feels peaceful and private--a wonderful retreat for anyone looking to escape the everyday hustle while still remaining convenient to the Poconos and Lehigh Valley. Enjoy views of a beautiful nearby pond, a stream along the rear of the property, a garden area, firepit, and plenty of natural surroundings that add to the home's idyllic country atmosphere. Inside, the main level features hardwood flooring throughout and a bright, beautifully remodeled kitchen with ab undant cabinetry, Corian countertops, and tile backsplash. The spacious living/dining room combination showcases the home's historic character with rustic exposed-beam ceilings, a beautiful barn door, and a lovely Dutch door opening to the covered front porch. A versatile first-floor bedroom, currently used as an office, features vaulted ceilings, while a full bath completes the main level. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms, including one with another 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. Whether you're dreaming of a more private lifestyle, exploring homesteading possibilities, or simply appreciate the warmth and history of a home from yesteryear, this one-of-a-kind Slate Belt property offers something increasingly hard to find--peace, privacy, character, and room to breathe.
