The ultimate work/life balance could be yours! Location, location!! This property is an amazing opportunity to work where you live. A beautiful stone farmhouse connected to a professional office with a comfortable waiting room, reception area, separate offices or treatment rooms, plenty of parking, and a great signage opportunity. Let’s add a beautifully landscaped rear yard with a stone spring house and flowing spring, sparkling koi pond, gazebo, pretty red barn, wrap-around porch, Trex deck, and a separate driveway. All of this is in a wonderful location within walking distance of shopping and a quick ride into the Boro. This property, with both a residential and a commercial component, has a rich history that began as a Perkasie farm that was part of the Perkasie Poultry business which was purchased by Dr. Katherine Storm between 1911 and 1913. Dr. Storm was listed in the 1914-1915 Woman's Who's Who of America as a physician and an inventor. It was also, at one time, a shoe store. The four-bedroom farmhouse was owned by the same family for over half a century and a professional office was added in later years and it was, most recently, a busy dentist's office. The farmhouse itself has so many wonderful features: four spacious bedrooms plus a bonus room, random-width pine floors, a gorgeous carved fireplace mantle with artisan tile surround in the large living room, a stunning staircase that was saved from an antique townhouse and rebuilt piece by piece along with a second “secret” pie staircase, a sunny country kitchen, study and a dining room large enough for family and friends. If using the farmhouse as an office, the dining room could be a terrific conference room. Two full and two half baths are found in the farmhouse. The office has a separate entrance with a foyer, a waiting room with large windows, a reception area, three large treatment rooms or offices, and one smaller lab space that could also function as a kitchenette, two half baths, and plenty of storage with a 15 parking space lot with a dedicated entrance. The two story barn provides plenty of storage as well and currently features amateur radio towers which could be left with the property or removed. The fenced rear yard is breathtaking with willow, cedar, specimen perennials, a live spring with a pump that’s used for the garden, hand-built stone walls, and walking paths – a bucolic area in which to relax. Property includes a generator for home and office, which is on a separate meter and Security System. Two driveways – one private alongside the farmhouse/barn, and for the office on a public parking lot directly and easily accessed from a convenient connector road with a center turn lane. CE zoning provides for a wide variety of uses. All of this is a quick walk or bike ride from the grocery shopping center and a minute or two to Perkasie Boro!
