198 BLACKSMITH ROAD

OLEY, PA 19547

Exceptional Stone Farmhouse, Circa 1740, beautifully situated on just under 23 acres along a quiet country road in Oley. Surrounded by preserved farmland, this remarkable property offers privacy, sweeping pastoral views, and a wonderfully intact Historic Farmstead complete with a Stone-end Bank Barn, Corn Crib, Springhouse with pond, Piggery, and beautiful walled garden. The 6 Bedroom and 5.2 Bathroom residence evolved over several centuries, with its two earliest sections dating to the 1700s. A newer custom addition has been masterfully integrated with the original home, incorporating repurposed period flooring, mantels, and corner cabinets while introducing gracious living spaces and modern amenities.Throughout the home, extraordinary architectural details speak to its history. Original chestnut floors remain in the front portion of the house, complemented by repurposed oak flooring in the newer addition. Exposed beams, period woodwork and doors with grain-painted surfaces, ornate fireplace mantels, crown molding, and wainscoting add character throughout. 7 Fireplaces are found within the home, including 4 wood-burning and 3 gas Fireplaces. Three of the early Fireplaces are impressive "Walk-In" size, and the Fireplace in the oldest section retains a functional bake oven. Designed equally well for everyday living and entertaining, the Main Level includes a large formal Dining Room and an expansive gourmet Kitchen with both a generous Pantry and separate Butler's Pantry. Bright and inviting, the Kitchen offers space for both a dining table and sitting area, with pristine views across the property. Its Fireplace is accented by a reclaimed mantel and custom hand-painted tiles from Wales. The beautifully appointed workspace features custom cherry and tiger maple cabinetry, soapstone countertops, a farmhouse sink, and custom built-in Sub-Zero refrigeration along with gourmet appliances. Upstairs are 5 Bedrooms and 4 Bathrooms. The Primary Suite includes a walk-in closet, private bath, and balcony overlooking the backyard. Historic details continue on this level with exposed-beam ceilings, period flooring, original woodwork, and early doors retaining their grain-painted surfaces. The finished Lower Level provides exceptional additional living space, including a sixth Bedroom with an adjacent full Bathroom and a spacious Family room. Bright and beautifully finished, the Family Room features a gas Fireplace with reclaimed mantel and hand-painted tiles, a coffered ceiling, built-in bookcase, and radiant floor heat. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, the property reflects a remarkable commitment to preserving the character and craftsmanship of this early Pennsylvania Farmhouse while creating a home suited to modern living. From its historic interiors and collection of period outbuildings to its peaceful setting amid preserved countryside, this is a truly special Oley property.
