Originally built circa 1800, this distinctive Womelsdorf cottage offers something truly special - the history of a centuries-old home with the fresh, sophisticated feel of modern design. Featuring European-inspired finishes, thoughtful details, and the convenience of main-floor living, this three-bedroom home blends timeless character with contemporary comfort. Set on .21… Read More acres in the Conrad Weiser School District, it offers the best of both worlds: peaceful, country-like surroundings just steps from the schools, parks, shops, and conveniences of small-town living. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Womelsdorf history with the style and comforts today's buyers desire. Step inside and discover an interior where quality craftsmanship and distinctive design take center stage. Imported ceramic and porcelain tile from Italy and Spain, elegant fluted textures, quartz countertops, and carefully curated finishes create a sophisticated, designer-inspired atmosphere throughout. One of the home's most desirable features is the convenience of main-floor living. The primary bedroom, full bathroom, kitchen, dining room, living room, mudroom, and laundry are all located on the first floor. The beautifully appointed kitchen opens into the dining area and features a stylish range hood, gas stovetop cooking, quartz countertops, and a generous peninsula with seating for three. The adjoining dining area comfortably accommodates a table for at least four, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. Wide-plank Cairo Oak luxury vinyl flooring flows throughout the main level, while upstairs you'll find two additional spacious bedrooms, a versatile loft area, and brand-new plush carpeting. The upgrades go well beyond aesthetics, with new electric baseboard heating, a new water heater, and a roof resealed in 2026. Outside, the .21-acre property offers plenty of room to enjoy, complete with a detached garage, a large shed or handyman workshop, and a backyard playscape. And while the setting feels peaceful and tucked away, you're just across the street from Conrad Weiser West Elementary School and within walking distance of the local library, community park, shops, and restaurants. For an effortless move, the home is also available for purchase fully furnished, with thoughtfully selected pieces that complement its stylish interiors. With its distinctive European-inspired details, flexible floor plan, main-floor primary bedroom, and exceptional location, this one-of-a-kind cottage offers the character of a home with a story - and the comfort of a fresh beginning. Opportunities like this don't come along every day. Schedule your private showing and experience it for yourself! Read Less
