Out of the pages of a storybook, this picturesque Country Cool farmhouse connects memories of simpler times with all the modern comforts of home.

The sunny West entrance showcases the original log construction and vintage glazed windows, and beadboard ceiling. The original farm sink and some of the steel cabinets have been professionally re-finished and beautifully incorporated into the updated kitchen which features accents of Black Walnut harvested from the property.

The dining room is accented by century old T&G beadboard paneling, uncovered during updates then restored to enjoy its vintage character. The living room features rough sawn wainscot, exposed log support post and beam and a completely restored and useable Comfort Home wood-burning cooktop stove. Although the stove can be used, the current owners enjoy its beauty and use it for storage in the living area for things like puzzles, games, movies, etc.

With elements of all the sweet stuff and updates with all the good stuff, quality craftsmanship is obvious throughout the home. Major updates over the past 5 years include connection to district water supply, all new water and sewer lines inside the home, brand new water heater, updated wiring, lighting, all switches and outlets, colonial stained oak hardwood flooring, completely re-done kitchen, all bathrooms re-done, real high-quality linoleum in bathrooms and mud/laundry room, several new windows, new carpet in the master, new interior and exterior paint.

The property is surrounded by mature gardens, large shade trees, flowering and fruit trees, native grasses and hay, and a raspberry patch referred to as legendary. The kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews, call this property the secret garden, every where you look there’s something flowering or growing that’s beautiful or edible like apples, peaches, cherries, plums, mulberries and blackberries. There’s also a chicken coop if you like the sounds of happy hens and the taste of farm fresh eggs.

The pasture is fully fenced and irrigation water from the Palmerton ditch (available for purchase or lease), produces a lot of hay. There is power and a well water spigot at the loafing shed. For the most part horses and ponies have been kept here, but occasionally a cow comes around to enjoy the benefits of being grass-fed and organically raised for high quality meat.

This is truly a one of a kind special place where happy memories are made, where people and their animals have the room to breathe, and something to keep your interests and hobbies alive as a way of being.
