Own a piece of history! The Historical Society of Montgomery County has verified that this property was owned by the Middleton Family from the early 1900's to 1962!! Go Phils!! Built in 1900, this charming farmhouse beautifully blends the character of a bygone era with thoughtful updates for today’s lifestyle. Set on a serene, fenced 1.11-acre property, this three-story home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history—one that has been lovingly maintained through generations of owners. Inside, six bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and original hardwood floors throughout provide generous space and timeless appeal. Beautiful period details remain, including the original bedroom doors with their distinctive door knockers, wind up doorbell, and original mail slot adding a sense of history and character that simply cannot be recreated. Thoughtful updates include a recently renovated kitchen, 200-amp electrical service, conversion from oil to natural gas, many newer windows, updated light fixtures, a new gas meter, and efficient hot-water radiant heat.Please note that the electrical system and panel have been updated! The push-button switches have also been updated while preserving their original charm. Two fireplaces add to the home’s warmth and appeal—the living room fireplace remains functional, while the second-floor bedroom fireplace has been capped. One of the home’s most surprising spaces is the bright walk-out basement, featuring 7-foot ceilings, French doors, parge-coated walls, and a new concrete floor poured in 2025. Even here, the past is beautifully preserved, with the original wash sink, well house, and former coal-delivery area offering a fascinating glimpse into the home’s earlier days. Step outside and the property truly comes to life. The fenced backyard is a peaceful retreat, visited by an abundance of wildlife and surrounded by mature trees, established plantings, and perennial gardens. A slate patio provides a wonderful spot to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the changing seasons. Adding even more character are several outbuildings, including a two-story garage, additional one-car garage, a barn/shed, and a gardening house. Together, they create a setting that feels like a private country retreat while offering exceptional flexibility for hobbies, storage, gardening, or future possibilities. And while the property offers a wonderfully peaceful escape, convenience is never far away. Shopping, dining, parks, public transportation, and major commuter routes—including the PA Turnpike, I-76, I-476, and Route 202—are all nearby, with easy access to King of Prussia and Center City Philadelphia. Rich in history, surrounded by nature, and filled with possibilities, this is the kind of property that invites you to slow down, settle in, and create a story of your own. A truly special opportunity to own a home with character, soul, and a history all its own.
