Property Description
Here is your opportunity to live in an historic church which has been renovated into a large family residence along with an attached In-laws apartment. Originally built in the late 1800's and known as the St Peters Union Church, this home has a tasteful mix of original features yet has been remodeled and updated to suit today's more modern lifestyle. The first floor consists of a warm and inviting front living room as you first enter, French doors lead you through to an office area and then into a large family room area open to the kitchen. The heart of where you will spend your time, this area showcases some of the character and charm of the original church. There is a breakfast nook with pew bench seating and the focal point of the alter, with a 2-story wall of book shelving and a balcony from the 2nd floor choir loft. A first-floor bath / laundry room is situated in a separate room conveniently located just off of the kitchen and there is a rear exit door to access a private screen enclosed back porch. This home also has both front and back stairways leading to the second floor; where there are 3/4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and an exceptional amount of storage space. Upstairs you will continue to see characteristics from this structure's origin with a hymnal book closet in the master bedroom, the original church ceilings and an abundance of natural lighting from the two-story double hung windows. The in-law's apartment is adjoining but is a separate residence; with separate utilities and systems. It is currently rented adding additional value to this property. The apartment consists of a living room, eat-in kitchen with laundry, and 2 bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. Come tour this very well maintained and unique small-town property conveniently located for commutes to the Lehigh Valley or Berks (minutes from Kutztown University) and within walking distance of schools, parks, and local eateries.
