117 CROSS RD Gilbertsville, PA 19525

Here is an opportunity to own your very own piece of history! This home is commonly known as the Hartranft House as it was the birthplace of Major General John Hartranft, a Civil War General who later became the Governor of Pennsylvania in the late 1800s. The house itself was built in 1773 and served as a parsonage and church farm. If you're looking for character, look no further. This home features original wide plank hardwood floors, chair railing in the dining room, 30" thick walls, and a massive stone wood-burning fireplace in the living room. Another historically significant feature are the hand painted decorations found throughout the home that were done in the German baroque style. The kitchen was remodeled in the 1960s and features board and batten cabinets, ample counter space, and a propane stove. On the second floor you will find a full bathroom and the two largest bedrooms, one of which features a wood stove. The remaining two bedrooms are located on the third floor, one of which is a walk through. Lastly, there is plenty of room for outdoor entertaining and fun as the home sits on a 4 acre lot.
