Description

The historic 1768 John Hunter Tavern. Located in the picturesque Oley Valley, this 3800 sq. ft. stone Georgian-style home was built to be impressive and continues to be so. The entry hall dimensions (9 feet wide by 30 feet long by 10 feet high with a massive staircase) forecast what lies beyond the other interior partitions. There is a total of twelve rooms and four fireplaces. In addition to the main house, there is a mid-18th century Germanic-style log house (not original to the site), a wagon...The historic 1768 John Hunter Tavern. Located in the picturesque Oley Valley, this 3800 sq. ft. stone Georgian-style home was built to be impressive and continues to be so. The entry hall dimensions (9 feet wide by 30 feet long by 10 feet high with a massive staircase) forecast what lies beyond the other interior partitions. There is a total of twelve rooms and four fireplaces. In addition to the main house, there is a mid-18th century Germanic-style log house (not original to the site), a wagon shed, and a massive "English-style" barn. For the discerning individual searching for that special home and project, this is the one you must preview. All too often the phrase "this one must be seen to be appreciated" is used. In the case of the Hunter Tavern, it really is true. When you schedule your showing, plan on spending a few hours stepping back in history. Note: property is being sold "as is", no warranties or guaranties give nor implied.
