Description

Welcome to 149 E Main Street, in the historic town of Ephrata! This 2300+ square foot single detached brick home, with 4 bedrooms and 1.5 baths is the is the perfect combination of updates and historic character! As you approach the home, you’ll instantly fall in love with the original brick masonry work, the slate roof, window shutters, and covered front porch. On the front porch, two doors welcome you into the home. As you step into the home you’ll be enamored with the home’s charm. Built in the early 1900’s, this home has its original hardwood floors, charming wood trim and 9+ foot ceilings throughout. The formal living room and family room are the first two rooms to greet you. Between the two rooms you’ll find a wide double-door, pocket door opening, which allows for a large open gathering space, or the option to separate the two rooms for privacy. One of these two rooms could also make a great at-home-office, with its own private entrance! Large floor to ceiling windows flood both of these rooms with lots of natural light! Continuing through the home, you’ll find the middle room is currently being used as a den, but could also make for a great dining room area; conveniently located between the kitchen and living spaces, with quick and easy access to the home’s first floor half bath! The half bath is tastefully done, further enhancing the home’s natural charm. The eat-in kitchen provides modern luxuries, while maintaining the home’s 1900’s charm. Updated white appliances, tile flooring, updated white cabinetry with stainless handles, and stainless steel countertops, this kitchen has the amenities of the 21st Century, with the charm and character from the 20th Century…the best of both worlds! Completing the first floor, you’ll find the home’s spacious first floor laundry and mudroom. No need to carry that laundry to the basement! Upstairs you’ll find the home’s 4 spacious bedrooms, and the home’s updated full bathroom. Each of the three auxiliary rooms are of similar size, and each provide abundant closet space. The home’s primary bedroom has convenient access to a “bonus” sitting/dressing room, office/craft space, or even potentially a large walk in closet! The primary/bonus room has an additional 20th century exposed brick masonry charm to it, along with an interior window, and features a cedar closet. One of the three auxiliary rooms provides access to the LARGE attic space, which is currently floored, but unfinished. This area is large enough and tall enough to convert into additional living space, or can remain as a large storage area! The home’s mechanicals can be found in the home’s basement. Unlike some other early 20th Century homes, this basement provides standing room throughout it, and lots of storage space! Outside, you’ll find a quiet and quaint fenced in back yard. Brick pavers provide a nice patio area to sit outside under the mature foliage, enclosed gardens, and also provides a charming walkway to the home’s 2-car detached garage and the home’s storage shed. The garage provides great covered off-street parking for up to two vehicles, and the shed is a great space to store all those lawn tools or outdoor furniture! In addition to the 2 car garage, there is a small paved area which can also provide an additional off-street parking spot, and provides access to the back alleyway. This home is conveniently located within walking distance of EVERYTHING historic Ephrata, founded in 1732, and downtown Ephrata has to offer; including local restaurants, shops and SO much more! Contact us today to schedule your private showing of the home; you won’t be disappointed!

    "Traffic is okay except in the early morning and late afternoon rush hour times around the Wal-Mart/Ephrata Crossings area where there is still construction and road work, also the bottleneck to one lane has caused problems for years! It doesn’t seem like the township will ever do anything about it and it will get worse when the stores and hotel open!"
