866 crucible, Rices Landing, PA 15357

This isn't a farmhouse that has had all of its personality renovated away. It's the kind of home where the original details still matter-and the updates were made around them. High ceilings, beautiful original woodwork, hardwood floors, pocket doors, built-ins and multiple fireplaces give the home the character you hope to find in an older property, while major improvements bring it comfortably into the present. The oversized kitchen is one of the standout spaces, featuring locally sourced walnut countertops, a hammered copper apron-front sink, a substantial center island and impressive 10-burner Vulcan range. Just inside the entry, an original slate chalkboard salvaged from a local school adds an unexpected piece of history and sets the tone for a home filled with character. The adjoining dining room and parlor continue the story with decorative and wood-burning fireplaces, original pocket doors and built-ins. Upstairs there are 4 generously sized bedrooms on the second floor a deep walk in closet, high ceilings and peaceful views, along with convenient second-floor laundry and an updated bath with herringbone tile floor, clawfoot tub and shower. Continue to the third level for additional flexible living space-ideal for 2 additional bedrooms, a sitting room, studio, office, guest space or whatever fits your life and a full bath. Behind the character is substantial modernization, including updated electrical, plumbing and windows, new insulation, a 2025 asphalt roof, heat pump, central air and supplemental pellet-stove heat. The bright basement offers unusually high ceilings for a home of this age and additional usable space. Outside, enjoy the covered front porch, expansive rear deck, wooded surroundings and a view of the Monongahela River that reinforces the home's peaceful country setting. There is even an existing chicken coop with power and additional outdoor space offering possibilities for gardens, hobbies or future improvements. A genuinely distinctive old farmhouse-full of craftsmanship, interesting details and spaces that feel collected over time rather than manufactured.
