Property Description

DON'T MISS THIS CHANCE TO STEP IN TO A RARE OPPORTUNITY! Own both a piece of history and a piece of the earth! Home is in excellent condition, and back on the market only because buyers had family emergency. Originally built in 1864 and rumored to have once served as a Civil War hospital, this beautifully maintained home blends historic character with the comforts buyers want today. LOW TAXES AND GREAT PRICE (met appraised value)! Situated on an expansive THREE QUARTER ACRE LOT with a separate parcel behind the alley, properties like this are incredibly hard to find. Whether you dream of gardening, HOMESTEADING, raising chickens, entertaining outdoors, or simply enjoying wide open space, this property delivers the lifestyle so many are searching for. The grounds are truly special — bordering vast orchards, it is partially fenced with abundant sunshine, mature fruit trees, seasonal edible herbs, and plenty of room for recreation or pets. The immediate backyard feels like your own private retreat with a SEASONAL SPRING RUNNING UNDER A CHARMING BRIDGE, large patio, built-in gazebo, and a massive shed/outbuilding offering endless possibilities. Inside, the home offers over 160 years of history without sacrificing comfort. Featuring 3 EXCEPTIONALLY LARGE BEDROOMS and 1.5 bathrooms, this home feels surprisingly spacious and welcoming. ORIGINAL WIDE PLANK WOOD FLOORS, pocket doors, and timeless craftsmanship pair beautifully with thoughtful updates including granite countertops, a newer wood-grain kitchen, dual-zone HVAC, central air (2021), water heater (2021), and a NEW METAL ROOF installed in May 2023 with a lifetime warranty. The entire home has also been freshly painted, making it move-in ready from day one. Sunroom adds a cozy space for office or relaxing! All appliances convey. Additional highlights include easy alley entrance to back property, a 1-car garage, parking pad for 3 vehicles, and an ideal commuter location with easy access to Route 15 connecting Frederick and Harrisburg, or a short trip to York, Hanover, and Carlisle. This is more than a home — it’s a property with a story, land to grow on, and a lifestyle that’s becoming harder and harder to find.
