Charm abounds in this circa 1900 Sears Craftsman kit home, originally part of an 80-acre chicken farm and now an iconic Montgomery Township property ready for its next chapter. Set on a picturesque 1-acre lot, the property features a two-story barn with concrete floors, approximately 900 sq ft, ideal for car enthusiasts, craftsmen, or hobbyists seeking versatile workspace. Also included is a second, smaller barn and a garden shed, offering ample storage and flexible use. A welcoming foyer leads to a sunlit living room, dining room, and renovated kitchen, creating a comfortable and functional flow for everyday living and entertaining. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, along with a walk-up attic providing excellent potential for additional living space. The second level features air conditioning installed in 2025. Hardwood floors throughout add warmth, character, and timeless appeal. Outdoor living is equally inviting, highlighted by a wraparound porch, along with a patio and deck, plus an above-ground pool with surrounding deck perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Beautiful perennial gardens add vibrant seasonal color and enhance the property's natural charm. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets from the porch and a front-row seat to Montgomery Township's annual fireworks right from your own yard.Additional highlights include public water and a recently inspected septic system for added peace of mind.
