This custom-built secluded retreat is located on 4+ acres at the end of a quiet cul de sac. This home has great bones and was cherished and lovingly maintained by the family. A truly bucolic setting ? boarded by a 14-acre township-owned historic farm, next to which is 55 acres of trails cared for by the National Lands Trust. In the far end of the property, there is a small pond fed by Crum Creek - inviting to wildlife. This energy-efficient home is fully equipped with Geothermal heating and features solar panels in the backyard that generate enough power to run the entire home. When the solar credits run out, PECO supplements in the winter just to turn the geothermal pumps. The entire electric bill is approx $1,500 for the YEAR.
