Property Description
The John and Rachel Scherich folk farmhouse, nestled in a private wooded lot, is a slice of paradise. It is within walking distance to Lower Allen Community Park and in close proximity to Rte 15, the PA Turnpike and l-81 and 83. The solidly built brick home retains most original woodwork, paneled doors and hardware. Throughout the house are 5 decorative fireplaces, some having built-in chimney cupboards. The fireplace in the living room could easily be converted to gas. Original, wide-planked wood floors remain in most of the house. Accessible by the back and front staircase (with its original railing), the second floor has a large bathroom, laundry and three spacious bedrooms. An additional bedroom/office is located on the first floor right next to a full bathroom. There is a full attic that could be converted into additional living space. Numerous upgrades throughout the home are consistent with its farmhouse character. Metal standing seam roofs were installed on the main house, the front porch and side porch in 2018. A large, updated kitchen with back splashes made of oak from the barn originally on site, provides ample room for cooking and gathering and leads to a formal dining room replete with crown moulding. The expansive lower-level family room features the original “walk-in” fireplace with a Harmon Oakleaf wood burning stove, built-in shelving, powder room and electrical and plumbing rough-in for a potential bar/kitchenette. The family room leads to a large, screened-in cedar porch that offers views of the garden and a patio. All mechanicals are up to date and serviced regularly – a propane-fueled hot water furnace with integral on-demand hot water (installed 2023), water softening system with a new acid neutralizer (installed 2026) and central air conditioning (installed 2016). Electricity in the kitchen and full bathrooms were updated in 2018 and 2008 respectively. Additionally, the property includes a 2 ½ bay carriage house/garage that has abundant storage and workspace. The yard includes mature plantings and trees, an herb and vegetable garden and the original, “two-seater” outhouse. While there is no plumbing, it serves nicely as a garden shed."
