Property Description
The original 1793 stone residence forms the heart of the home, anchored by a dramatic stone fireplace and centuries-old architectural character. That history continues into the kitchen, housed within a circa-1800 former summer kitchen, where warm wood cabinetry, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances blend naturally with the home's rustic surroundings. A 2001 log addition expanded the residence with exposed log walls, wood floors and abundant windows overlooking the property. Together, the stone, timber and log construction create a home that feels collected over time, because it genuinely was.
Outside, the property unfolds across approximately 6.7 acres, offering an expansive lawn framed by mature woods, established landscaping, stone walls and inviting spaces to enjoy the natural surroundings.
A standout feature is the 24' x 30' detached garage and workshop, built in 2021. Designed for far more than vehicle storage, the building includes electric, water, a three-zone mini-split system, compressed air and central dust collection. An exceptional setup for woodworking, automotive interests, creative pursuits or serious hobby space. A versatile upper level provides additional room for an office, studio, hobbies or storage.
The home's historic character has also been thoughtfully maintained while continuing to evolve for modern living. Real wood siding was freshly painted in 2025, complementing the home's copper gutters. A new dual-fuel HVAC system was installed in 2025, along with new propane gas inserts in both fireplaces. A newer water heater and extensive renovations completed in the late 2000s add to the home's meaningful improvements.
45 Wetzel Road isn't a reproduction of Pennsylvania history. It's part of it. More than two centuries after its story began, this distinctive property offers the opportunity to enjoy its craftsmanship, character and acreage—and become part of what comes next.
Also available for purchase is the adjacent 3.9-acre lot, MLS#: PABK2074378, 44 Wetzel Road, to create a unique and expansive 10+ acre multi-parcel estate. Listing Agent is both an owner and licensed Pennsylvania Real Estate Agent.
