There are other unfinished areas of the basement that can be used for storage. The attic has drop-down stairs and offers additional storage. The home has R-30 insulation in the ceilings and R-19 insulation in the walls, and triple-glazed Anderson windows, making it very comfortable year-round.

Utilities on this property include cable and satellite, as well as a long range TV/FM antenna. All utilities are underground. There are excellent locations on the property for a wind turbine. A new roof with architectural shingles was installed in 2005. The property has been professionally landscaped with mature trees and blooming shrubs.

The 1,200 square foot second home features three 11x10½ rooms, a 19x11½ kitchen and dining area, a 9x11 sitting room, a 10x29 living room, full bath and storage room.

The building has electric heat and Anderson windows with additional storm windows, 2 levels of ceiling insulation giving it R-36++ and 3 levels of sidewall insulation, 200 amp electric service and a 58 gallon electric hot water heater.

In late 2008, a new 30 x 32 fully insulated Conestoga building was constructed. Situated near the main home, it is currently used as a woodworking shop. The building has R-36 insulation in the ceiling and R-20 insulation in the walls. Other amenities of this building include a concrete floor, dual pane windows, wood lined painted walls, metal ceiling, and 200 amp electric. It has an overhead door and a pedestrian door.

The property is enrolled in the “Clean and Green” Act 319 Program, a program which owners can receive tax abatement for farmland property. A very unique advantage of owning this property comes as a result of a grant from local businessman and philanthropist John Morgan. This program offers the first two years of college absolutely free to any Tamaqua Area School District High School Senior with appropriate grade point average.

The 70 x 36 concrete block horse barn has thirteen 12x10 stalls. Seven 10 x 12 stalls have private galvanized pipe 10 x 22 turn out runs.
