Property Description
Escape to the natural serenity of this 3.3 +/- acre country retreat with about 270 feet of frontage along the absolutely beautiful Perkiomen Creek. You will enjoy carrying on a century-old tradition of weekend and holiday gatherings in the 2-story wood-clad seasonal cabin with a Great Room on the first floor and sleeping quarters on the upper level. Wooden floors, exposed framing, plenty of windows, a craftsman staircase, and a cathedral ceiling add to the rustic charm. The deep wrap-around porch is great for hanging out, affords natural views of the picturesque countryside, and is just a short stroll from the streambanks. The open floorplan and setting would make an attractive artist studio. The navigable waters of the Perkiomen Creek, extending from Green Lane to its confluence with the Schuylkill River offers small boating and fishing opportunities. Outdoor recreation options abound with multiple nearby parks and the popular Perkiomen Trail just across the creek from the home. The 20 mile trail - a favorite of walkers and bicyclists - winds through small villages along some of Montgomery County's most scenic landscapes. Walnut Lane is a low-traffic private cul-de-sac. The cabin itself is set far from the road and currently has no modern water or septic system; renovations and mechanical upgrades, guided by a vision that appreciates the building's character, would enhance the condition and convenience of the structure. With this in mind, a permit was just issued for the potential installation of a new on site septic system. An added benefit of the property is the alternate possibility to construct a new home, further from the stream, on a elevated portion of the large lot. This potential new home location offers a great view of both the meandering stream and wooded hillsides. Buyer should contact the township to confirm guidelines for their intended plans for the property. Hundreds and hundreds of properties are sold annually in the region but very few can match the spectacular setting of this creekside property.
