Description
A 1940 farmhouse usually makes you choose. Keep the character and live with the wiring, or gut it and lose the reason you wanted it in the first place. This one refuses to choose.
The house has been restored, not just remodeled. Upstairs, two bedrooms sit under wormy chestnut beamed ceilings, the kind of wood you cannot buy anymore at any price because the blight took the American chestnut a century ago. Downstairs, warm bamboo flooring runs through a living room anchored by a recessed electric fireplace. The kitchen is built around an island with seating and finished in stainless. The primary suite is on the main floor with a walk-in closet and its own exterior access, which matters a great deal more than it sounds like it does when you come in wet from the field at dark.
Behind all that character is new work. Electrical, plumbing, furnace, air conditioning, gutters, and spray foam insulation. 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 1,692 square feet. You are buying a farmhouse that reads like 1940 and runs like new construction.
Then there are the 49.3± acres.
4 outbuildings serve the ground. A detached garage with an upper-level flex space, whether that becomes a shop, a studio, or bunk space for camp. An oversized pole building with upgraded electric, big enough for equipment, trailers, and the projects that never fit in a garage. A three-stall lean-to. And a shed that somebody in the family will end up claiming.
The land itself is a working mix. Open ground rolls out from the house and gives way to timber. A stocked pond sits on the property, which means you fish it, your kids fish it, and the wildlife waters there whether you are watching or not. The woods hold deer and turkey, and the acreage is large enough to hunt honestly without ever crossing a line or asking a neighbor for permission.
49.3± acres in Clay Township is enough to disappear into and still small enough that one person can actually manage it. Ride it, hunt it, farm a piece of it, or just own the quiet. Butler is eleven miles out for anything you need. Pittsburgh is under an hour when you want it and forgettable when you do not.
