605 W Ridge Pike

If you had been travelling through Limerick in 1873 you surely would have seen this home under construction by the finest craftsmen in the area. The stone walls of the foundation supporting the frame built from full size old growth lumber, wrapped in German siding. All inside doors and windows trimmed out in a simple but elegant manner. The original cookstove and parlor stove heating system being updated throughout the years, is now a natural gas steam radiator system(2017), a very efficient, trouble free, and low maintenance way of heating. An addition in the 1920s added a full kitchen and closed the porch in to add to the year round usable space. The roofs all being recently replaced(2015) with a modern asphalt shingle, saw the removal of the slate after it had served over 130 years! All exterior windows in the main house have all been replaced as well, the original sashes available to the buyer. The kitchen has recently been refurbished and is ready to be used to create the meals for your gatherings. The original barn with its workshop has been rebuilt on the original foundation with a 3 bay garage and 25x20 workshop area which could be a great opportunity for a start-up company needing garage space, A fenced in yard makes a great play area for kids and pets. For anyone looking to explore raising chickens a chicken coop could be made available, to use in the very nice, open back yard. Also outside are a wide variety of plantings, including grapes for eating or jelly making, and Pecan trees, Maple and Walnut too. Lilac, wisteria, and hyacinth will perfume the air and you'll lose count of all the daffodils if you try. Redbuds, dogwoods, japonica, and a white magnolia add a change of color and the crocus will let you know when winter will end, and more surprises too, a creek, and the original working hand dug well. All located within the amazing Spring Ford school district plus very reasonable taxes! In addition to the historical charm of the home, the Main Street Zoning also allows for a variety of uses such as: Restaraunt/Tavern/Cafe, professional office or studio of a teacher, artist, accountant, architect, landscape architect, minister, musician, engineer or practitioner of a similar character, bank, retail center, personal services and much more.
