Property Description
Seize the opportunity to own a fully renovated Farmette Country Estate in the desirable Cumru Township, Berks County, PA. This exceptional property spans over 8 acres of serene landscape and features a custom-redesigned home with approximately 3,500 square feet of open floor-plan living space. The home combines historic charm with modern amenities, boasting random-width hardwood floors, cedar siding, wood shutters, and doors.
The high-end kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line KitchenAid appliances, including a wine refrigerator, six-burner gas cooktop, oversized oven, and French-door refrigerator. Additional luxury features include Baldwin Brass hardware, Kohler toilets, a clawfoot tub, and a corner whirlpool in the master bath. A full-house wired stereo system extends to outdoor seating areas, offering a peaceful forest setting.
Explore the property’s spring house and scenic trails, which include footbridges over a stream that flows into Angelica Creek. The restored bank barn serves as a two-car garage with storage and a third-story loft. An additional six-car garage outbuilding functions as a full fitness facility. The upper part of the property features expansive pastures ideal for equestrian activities, hiking, or four-wheeling.
Located 1.5 miles from the highly-rated LedgeRock Golf Club and the 725-acre Nolde Forest Environmental Nature Preserve, this retreat offers easy access to the PA Turnpike, Route 76, 422, and I-95, providing both tranquility and convenience.
The main house and rear six-car garage have roofs replaced in 2019 with GAF Timberline HD Laminated Architectural Shingles, Cobra® Ridge Vent, and TimberTex® Hip & Ridge Cap Shingles. The bank barn's roof was updated in 2006 with Composite Shake Shingles, ice and snow guards, and a cupola with a weathervane.
The property features a paved winding driveway leading to the upper pastures and the rear six-car garage, which includes a separate metered underground electrical service, offering potential for subdivision, equestrian arenas, or additional residences. Zoned for low-density residential use, it supports single-family homes as well as commercial and industrial applications. The wooded areas, home to diverse wildlife, allow for deer and wild turkey hunting.
The two-story bank barn showcases original stone masonry and handcrafted wooden framing, with carriage house-style overhead doors, windows, electric outlets, and security lighting. The upper barn has ultra-wide sliding barn doors and abundant natural light from double-hung windows, and the side areas can be converted into horse stalls.
The meticulously landscaped grounds blend sunny and shaded areas, with a winding asphalt driveway and erosion control drains providing easy access to the rear of the property, bank barn, and six-car garage. Nature trails through the wooded areas are conveniently located off the rear parking areas.
Inside, the formal dining room is illuminated by deep well double-hung windows, showcasing radiant solid hardwood Ash flooring. The Sonos sound system app allows for customizable background music, complemented by recessed LED lights and an antique brass chandelier. Two propane gas fireplaces with dark solid wood mantels and marble surrounds add warmth and ambiance to the main living room and master bedroom.
The home features Ash solid hardwood random plank flooring on the main floor and second-floor hallways and bedrooms. The second-floor bathroom boasts hexagon porcelain floor tiles and a cast iron clawfoot tub. Ceramic tile is found in the master and third bathrooms, as well as the front foyer, while the upper fourth bedroom/loft and staircase are carpeted wall to wall.
Top-quality KitchenAid appliances in the kitchen include a 36" stainless steel commercial-style gas range top, 24" built-in dishwasher, counter-depth French door refrigerator, 24" undercounter wine cellar, 30" self-cleaning convection oven, and 27" built-in microwave oven with convection.
