MARIETTA, Pa. (WHTM) — A 1700s colonial-style log home was recently listed for sale for $249,900 in Lancaster County.
According to documentation provided by the listing agent, this one-and-a-half-story log house was first built back in 1780 and was built on what was referred to as a ‘half-sized lot’, which is 31.5 feet wide and 250 feet long.
The historic log home is only one of 33 log homes that were built in Maytown, Pa. – this specific house is a German-style log home with clapboard cedar sidings.
Since being built, this home has had nine documented owners dating back to 1835 – there is no additional documentation of the home’s previous owners since recorded deeds did not go earlier than 1835. The most recent owners, the Reich family, were the ones that completed the historically accurate restoration of the home.
The restored log house comes equipped with three bedrooms and one bathroom. According to the listing, this home is 1,242 square feet in size and boasts a beautiful, fully updated kitchen that features:
- Updated appliances
- Hickory countertops
- Copper sink
The restored log home also features a wood fire fireplace in the rear of the home and handpicked lighting fixtures, that were bought at The Mill Shoppes over a number of years. According to the listing, the home also has an Indian door that leads out back to a “quaint brick patio complete with a large Pergola for outside dining.”
It should also be noted that the property has a one-car garage and room for off-street parking.
