Description
Long before this address became a family home, the original Carriage House served as infrastructure for one of the region's most prominent health and wellness retreats. This residence offers the opportunity to own part of Berks County's history. Offering just over 5,000 square feet of space, including 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, . Much of the original stonework remains, and the massive beams that once supported a working carriage house still carry the floors above it. Construction of this caliber is felt as much as it is seen; the stonework is so thick that a hard rain outside can go entirely unnoticed within. 8 resorts made Berks County a famous destination throughout the 19th century. Grandview Sanatorium began in 1847 as a mountain retreat where people visited from all over the world to drink pure water from the cold springs atop Cushion Peak in Wernersville, while enjoying the view of the Blue Ridge Mountains (now commonly referred to as South Mountain). The sunshine, and the privacy were a way to renew and restore. In 1890, a carriage house and barn were constructed to manage the horses that escorted guests who arrived by train from Wernersville up to the exclusive retreat. That structure, once the operational heart of a self-contained resort community, is this home. To the current owner, it's the home her children will always be nostalgic for. The parcel sits at the ridge of Cushion Peak with just over 3 acres of land offering a spectacular view across the valley, through every change of season to every evening light, it is quite extraordinary. Will you be the next family who has preserved it's legacy? Select artifacts of the property's original history remain with the home, for whoever becomes its next steward. This is not simply a house for sale. This is an invitation to become part of the next chapter of a story that began in 1847.
