1316 E Thatcher Rd, Quakertown, PA 18951

Shaggy Maple Farm sits on a bucolic 5.23 acres in Haycock Township. The c.1860 stone farmhouse sits back from the road and offers 3 BRs and 1.5 Baths. Towering pines and ancient black walnut trees offer seclusion from the country lane while dense woods in back are ideal for nature trails and privacy. Open and flat land around the house and barn is perfect for pastures. The stunning and rare 60x25 log Sweitzer barn is an "original Pennsylvania barn," but a log crib-style barn typically built between 1730 and 1850. The home has original wood floors, exposed wood beams, and stone accent walls. The great room offers a stovepipe for wood stove and charming corner cabinet. The separate living room has built-ins and large stone fireplace. The kitchen was updated with tile floor, solid wood counters, Kraftmaid soft-close cabinets and drawers, pot-filler, and pantry. Mudroom entrance off the back deck plus half-bath with laundry closet completes the main floor. Bedrooms and full bath are on the second floor, and the attic offers a finished loft bonus room. The barn yard includes a small, fenced pasture. Lake Towhee County Park and Lake Nockamixon State Park are 5 minutes away. Quakertown's dining, shopping, and amenities are 10 minutes away, with the Lehigh Valley just a 20-minute drive. Philadelphia and NYC are 90 minutes plus.
