200+ Year Old Historic Hotel / Home

New in 2009: metal roof , insulated vinyl siding, interior painting and redecorating, re-pointed parlor fireplace.

Built in 1790 as a stage coach stop, this central Pennsylvania local landmark known as 'The American House' has also served as a drover's tavern, a hotel/eatery and currently as a large private residence. Eight bedrooms, four full baths ( 2 with claw foot tubs), formal dining room, 'tea room', music room, office/study', family room, kitchen, 'sun room', 'loft/ library' and the 'parlor' account for most of the over 5800 square feet of living space. There is also a huge full attic, two basement areas, a poritco/patio and a large storage shed. The two-story original wing has been returned to its 1790 appearance with exposed logs and stone fireplace interior to create 'the parlor' with a large master bedroom on the second floor. Four gas fireplaces add practical charm. Well suited as B&B potential. Wide hardwood board floors, original hardware including brass numbers on bedroom doors, hand-painted mural depicting the local area circa 1950, goldfish pond, white picket fence, two large stone porches in front.

Short walk to trout streams and short drive to popular hunting areas. Near antique and flea markets, horse drawn buggy and sleigh rides, many small town events (parades, carnival grounds).

The American House is located in the village of East Waterford, Pa. Approximately 26 miles north of the PA Turnpike (Route 76) on State Route 75.  Sixty-five miles to state capital (Harrisburg), seventy miles to State College (Penn. State University).
