Property Description
Step into the grandeur of Boalsburg's earliest days at this remarkable historical home, a beautifully restored 2.5-story residence that preserves the outstanding craftsmanship and architectural character of the first homes that made up Springfield, now known as Boalsburg.
Set on 7.4 picturesque acres, this extraordinary property offers a rare combination of history, natural beauty, and modern comfort. Mature trees, a fish pond, and both Galbraith Gap Run and Spring Creek meander through the parcel, creating a peaceful and enchanting setting.
One of the property's most captivating features is the preserved stone wall of the original barn, thoughtfully repurposed into a spectacular garden walk. Fountains, stone walkways, pollination gardens, cascading streams, and graceful white arched bridges create a truly paradisiacal ambiance—a setting that feels like a private garden retreat.
Professionally restored in the Renaissance Revival style of the 1860s, the home offers approximately 6,200 square feet of living space and showcases the elegance of a bygone era. The spacious parlor features two faux marble fireplaces, while the grand dining room, with its 9-foot ceilings, fireplace, and refined appointments, provides an exceptional space for entertaining.
The home includes 8 fireplaces, 6 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a butler's pantry, beautiful built-in cabinetry, and hardwood floors. Upgraded electrical, HVAC, windows, and additional improvements provide modern conveniences while respecting the home's historic integrity.
For those seeking flexible workspace, the property also offers three offices, with private or public office use permitted by zoning, if needed.
This is more than a home—it is a living monument to the history of Boalsburg, a rare opportunity to own and preserve a remarkable piece of the area's heritage while enjoying the comforts of today.
Come experience the beauty, craftsmanship, and serenity of a home nearly two centuries old, thoughtfully restored for modern living. Call today to schedule your phenomenal private tour!
