You'd never know it from the aluminum sided exterior, but underneath is a true log home built in 1871 on 3.04 acres, within Cumru Township, and the award winning Governor Mifflin School District. This 3 bedroom 1 full bath home has the option of a fourth main level bedroom, off of the living room, with sliders to the fully enclosed sun porch. It has a very nice full bath with shower/tub combination on the main level, a fully functioning and modern eat-in kitchen on the main level with a very nice living room. All kitchen appliances and window treatments remain. Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms with access to attic storage and the air handler for full A/C on the second floor. The basement is bone dry with both stone and block walls and a poured concrete floor, with an insulated man door that opens to grade. The home's mechanicals are in excellent condition, with an oil fired boiler with circulated hot water, and radiators throughout the home. There is a 100 amp electrical panel with circuit breakers, a water softening system, drinking water filtration system,and an ultraviolet blue light water system. The washer and dryer remain, as well as one chest and one small upright refrigerator, both in working condition. Outside you will find a little bit of woods and a very nice sized yard, that the local deer enjoy very much and visit often. There is a nice sized T-111 storage shed, next to a very nice, detached, two car garage/work shop. The house has quite a bit of paneling, with dated floor coverings and counter tops, and will remind you of a very nice hunting camp that you might find upstate, but all in all, the home has very good bones, with nicely maintained and updated mechanicals, and has certainly stood the test of time, raising numerous generations of Berks Countians. A handy person with a little sweat equity could make this a really neat little home!
