Historic E. Slippery Rock Rd, Butl

Land Description

Seldom does 140 years of history blend with modern day improvements as eloquently as this historic homestead located on E. Slippery Rock Rd. in Chicora, PA. The current owner painstakingly restored the home, utilizing modern day materials of construction, ensuring another 140 years of life.
