Welcome Home! Pride in ownership can be yours with this historic, beautifully renovated/restored farmhouse, nestled just minutes from all that Hershey, Lancaster and Harrisburg areas have to offer.>> Great neighborhood! Perfect house to work from home, raise a family, and even more perfect for historic home enthusiasts! Keep as is or continue to restore & update. Soooo many possibilities here.>>

This home boasts many examples of 19th-century craftsmanship that just cannot be replicated today, beginning with its solid masonry construction and native stone foundations, which were quarried on-site. >> Remaining faithful to the original architecture, all windows, cabinets, and replacement doors were handcrafted by a local custom woodworker experienced in restoration work.>> Solid bronze and brass hardware, as well as solid species wood doors throughout, including hand-oiled Philippine Mahogany screen doors at the exterior entries, help to reinforce the historic character.>>
Enter the home into the foyer, which, along with the adjoining sitting room were the only rooms in the original home back in 1809 but that was before all the additions!>> Over the years this home has been built up to a big 4 bedroom, 5 1/2 bath (including in-law suite) dream farmhouse!>>
Over the last 15 years, the home has been completely renovated and historically preserved, including the semi-detached in-law suite that features restored original floors, exposed original old-growth chestnut rafters, a full bath, kitchenette, and main room, with that renovation just completed in 2022>>
