Step back in time and experience the charm of this beautifully preserved 1860s hand-laid limestone farmhouse nestled on 27 acres in Bellefonte. This rare property offers a unique opportunity to own a working piece of Central Pennsylvania history, complete with open fields, multiple outbuildings, and endless potential for hobby farming or agricultural use. Inside the farmhouse, you'll find four spacious bedrooms and two and a half baths, blending original craftsmanship with tasteful updates. The first-floor primary suite includes a private ensuite featuring a walk-in tile shower and clawfoot tub. Original wide plank wood floors, exposed beams, and a stone accent wall create a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout. The kitchen features handcrafted cherry cabinets, a large center island, and flows easily to a dining area perfect for gatherings.Every corner of the home tells a story, from the cozy sitting rooms to the custom vanities that add charm to the bathrooms. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a second living area offer generous space and serene views of the surrounding countryside. The land itself is truly the star of the show. With a mix of cleared acreage and mature trees, there’s room to raise animals, plant crops, or simply enjoy the peace and privacy of rural living.
