Property Description
Presenting the William and Mordecai Evans Log and Stone Home, currently listed in the National Register of Historic Places, steeped in history that dates back to 1720...The current "stewards" of this home have lovingly restored and maintained this property, and now it's time to find new owners for this grand homestead. There are two residences on the property, one being the original farmhouse offering is a wonderful mix of oldworld character, and modern amenities...There is an elegant living room with original wood floors, and woodburning fireplace accented with chair rail, and adorned with a raised panel mantle with storage, and deep window sills belying the exterior stone walls..The dining room is part of the 1720 log home, and features a 10' walk in fireplace with a "welcome window" from a time gone by. There is a sunroom/enclosed porch off of the dining room that would make a perfect sunny in home office. The kitchen offers a dishwasher, electric cooking and refrigerator...and the main feature is another woodburning fireplace..and sunny breakfast area features a bay window, and winding back staircase with exposed stone walls. The laundry area and full bath is off the kitchen...There is a large bedroom off of the back staircase that offers built in cabinetry, good closet space. An interesting pass through gets you to the second spare bedroom, and then finally the main bath and spacious master bedroom with his and hers closets....There is a new metal roof with snowstops on the farmhouse...Rumored to be once a stop on the Underground Railroad, the attic has a trap door leading to a secret room and a speaking tube or "chase" goes from the top to the bottom of the center of the house...There is a separate woodshop and wellhouse/potting shed, along with a 7x8 stone bake oven remnant dating back to the log home (oven was dismantled), and finally a two car garage with workshop area, and a two bedroom apartment atop the barn...the grounds have the possibly of nine separate homesites, (as told by owner's relative, who has done preliminary investigation)...there are two "paper roads" and public water and sewer are available, (please get in touch with Limerick Township to find out specifics of development). Well and public sewer services the main farmhouse, and a separate septic and the farmhouse well services the apartment.
