The Details

OPEN HOUSE CANCELED 7/12/26 from 11:00-1:00! Now back on the market: all knob-and-tube wiring in this home has been fully eliminated and replaced with new wiring and a new circuit breaker box. That update opens the door to the full range of financing options, including government-backed loan products such as USDA, FHA, and VA — options that weren't previously available on this property. For buyers who wanted the character and space this home offers but were held up by financing restrictions, that obstacle is gone. This classic 1940 Craftsman-style detached home in Derry Township offers an affordable opportunity to build equity in the Mifflin County real estate market. The property features three spacious upper-level bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms, including a convenient main-floor half bath and an upper-level full bath. Spanning 1,624 above-grade finished square feet with a traditional three-story layout, this home also includes a full block foundation basement and a dedicated single-car driveway. Situated in the heart of Yeagertown, it sits just minutes from Lewistown, approximately 30 minutes from State College and Penn State University, and roughly an hour from Harrisburg—making it an ideal hub for regional commuters. All historical knob-and-tube electrical wiring has been removed and replaced with a premium modern wiring system and a brand-new circuit breaker box. Paired with a newer hot water boiler system for heat (installed in 2019), these essential upgrades ensure the property now qualifies for all financing options. Buyers can confidently utilize government-backed loan products, including FHA, VA, and USDA financing, alongside conventional loans, portfolio products, or cash. Inside, the home showcases the timeless architectural character and solid craftsmanship of a bygone era. The interior is filled with beautifully preserved natural woodwork, original pine trim, classic staircase banisters, solid wood doors, and elegant built-in cabinetry. The main level delivers a spacious, open flow between the living room, formal dining room, and kitchen, where french doors and abundant natural light create a warm, inviting atmosphere. All kitchen appliances are included in the sale. Upstairs, the comfortable bedrooms are accompanied by a massive walk-up attic that presents excellent potential for deep storage or future room expansion. The exterior amenities match the interior's classic appeal, featuring 2 welcoming covered porches, front and back, perfect for relaxation. Nestled on a low-maintenance lot, this well-built home allows you to take on any remaining cosmetic improvements at your own pace. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer searching for a character-filled starter home, an investor seeking a rental property, or a buyer looking to build long-term value, 207 South Main Street delivers a rare combination of location, craftsmanship, and financing flexibility.
