Built in 1710 and operating as a tavern since 1750, Ravens Nest is a beloved local gathering place well known for its weekly live music. There are endless details and charm that accompany a building of this age, including exposed stone, a stone fireplace in the dining room of the tavern, vintage wrap-around wood bar, hardwood flooring and deep windowsills. This turnkey business is ready for new ownership and will transfer with stainless kitchen appliances to include a 60" gas range/griddle/broiler/oven, stainless prep areas, bain marie, refrigerators, freezers, coolers and bar equipment to include chiller, fryer, pizza oven, ice machine, griddle and more. The second floor contains a 3 bedroom living unit with beautiful wide plank flooring and a stone fireplace with woodstove insert. Outdoor structures include an art studio with electric, deck, gazebo and additional storage. Plans to expand from the bay window area to a deck for outdoor dining could spill over into the back yard where additional outdoor dining with family pets and yard games could be added. The grounds contain mature trees and plantings which have been lovingly cultivated by the current owners. In close proximity to the D&L Trail, Lake Nockamixon State Park and Lake Towhee Park, there are endless opportunities to draw in outdoor enthusiasts. The second parcel is across Old Bethlehem Road where there is ample parking and/or potential for development. The possibilities are endless! We look forward to showing you this property at one of our open houses, or call to schedule a private tour at your convenience.
