Farmhouse Friday: 165-Year-Old Eye Candy in Montgomery County For Sale

Should my dream of living in a trinity house with five canines come to naught, here’s my alternative: living in a farmhouse-style home by the sea. More specifically, a seaside house inspired by the interior of this landlocked charmer near Pottstown.
Among its features luring me out of my self-imagined city slicker mold are original old blank hardwood floors (they’re throughout, save for the kitchen and dining area where there’s slate flooring), dining room tin ceiling, and a superbly adorable black wood-burning stove. It also has fireplaces, all of which are in working condition.
And, talk about historical charm! Apparently, the property dates back to 1850; exactly 165 years! This in combination with its updates–among them new windows, doors, kitchen, bathrooms, and drywall– makes for a sweet getaway. The surrounding grounds, nearly two acres of flat land, includes a barn, which listing agent KatieJo Shank says is in good shape, but in just a little need of some TLC.
