If you have a weak spot for historic charm, this gorgeous 1880 Queen Anne Victorian will absolutely steal your heart. It sits right on Main Street in Slatington, full of the kind of personality and artistic detail that you can only find in a house with this much history. From the beautiful wrought iron fence in the front to the grand high ceilings inside, it feels like stepping back in time to a much more elegant era.
The most incredible part of this house is the striking front turret that stands tall across all three floors. On the inside, this creates a unique circular room on every level. Imagine sitting in your own round turret room on the first floor next to a baby grand piano! Outside, the house keeps giving with a rare and beautiful bonus: a deep backyard that sits right along a peaceful flowing stream. You can set up chairs by the water and relax to the sounds of nature anytime you want.
The historic details inside this home are simply beautiful. Original hardwood floors run through most of the spaces, and classic sliding pocket doors allow you to open up or close off the rooms. You will find stunning custom woodwork, large windows that let in tons of light, and colorful stained glass that glows when the sun hits it. A beautiful wraparound porch welcomes you at the front doors, and there is a sweet covered back porch right off the kitchen.
With five bedrooms and plenty of space, this home can easily handle a big family or lots of hobbies. The main level includes a formal dining room, a big living room, and a handy first-floor bedroom with a full bathroom right next to it. Upstairs, the large main bedroom has its own private balcony. There is even a second-floor kitchenette, which means you could easily use this home for two families or a rental setup since it has two separate power meters and private entrances.
The third floor is a massive bonus space. While it does not have heat yet, it is perfect for a home gym, tons of storage, or any big renovation dreams you might have down the road. The owners also made sure the home stays safe and dry by putting on a brand-new roof in 2021, but they wisely kept the original slate roof on the turret to preserve its beautiful historic look. Plus, there is a large private parking pad in the back that can fit up to eight cars. It is a rare chance to own a real piece of history for an amazing price.
