DON'T MISS A CHANCE TO OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY!!! Showings to commence Saturday July 12th during open house hours 10-1 Step into history with this beautifully maintained circa 1834 Farmhouse, situated on a level 1.4-acre corner lot in the highly sought-after Tamaqua Area School District. The Historical provenance of the home and property date back to the earliest settlers of the Tamaqua area and the Keller's were Hometown's earliest settlers and at one time Hometown was known as Tamaqua Heights. This home was built by Benjamin Keller in 1834 and was occupied by his family until 1881 according to Louise Frederickson Fox a direct descendant of the Keller family and author or the publication "The Kellers, Hometown's Earliest Settlers" and will be available for viewing at the open houses. This four-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home offers timeless character throughout. The main level features a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a functional kitchen and dining area, and a bright three-season room perfect for year-round enjoyment with balcony above. Upstairs you'll find four generously sized bedrooms and a full bath, offering ample space for family or guests. Outdoor living is a highlight of this property, featuring an above-ground pool with a 360 sq ft deck, a sprawling 1,036 sq ft patio with beautifully landscaped grounds, an outdoor fireplace, and a covered patio area that leads to an oversized two-car detached garage. Mature trees provide privacy and charm, creating a serene setting ideal for entertaining or relaxing. This unique property combines historic charm with modern comfort and is a rare opportunity in a desirable location. Floor plans, survey map, and additional property details will be available on-site during the **double open house tours scheduled for July 12th & 13th**. Graduating students of the Tamaqua area school district may be eligible for a two year college degree tuition free through the generous Morgan foundation. Seller will consider including a 1 Year Cinch Home Warranty with acceptable offer. Drive by's ok but please do not enter grounds of property without an appointment unless during the scheduled open house tours.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
