Property Description

A RARE PIECE OF LANCASTER HISTORY ON 14 ACRES! Built in 1835, this extraordinary two-story brick farmhouse offers the character, craftsmanship, and history of a nearly 200-year-old home combined with extensive restoration and thoughtful improvements for modern living. Set on approximately 14 beautiful acres, this landmark property has earned recognition of its own--featured twice on the Tour of Homes, recipient of the 2014 Coronet Award, and selected as the venue for Tapas and Talk in 2015, a Cameo League Lancaster Festival fundraiser. Step through the home's original front doors and experience craftsmanship that simply cannot be replicated. Historic details include original hardware, beautiful red oak flooring, an elegant curved staircase extending from the foyer to the third floor, and gorgeous plaster crown molding throughout several rooms. Four usable gas fireplaces add warmth and character throughout the home. The restoration went far beyond cosmetic updates. In an extraordinary undertaking to preserve and improve the property correctly, the main-level wood flooring was removed so the basement could be completely repoured, creating a substantially improved foundation and lower-level space while respecting the integrity of the historic home. The basement also features walk-out access, adding convenience and functionality rarely found in a home of this era. The first-floor family room is filled with natural light from an abundance of windows and features remote-controlled blinds, while a flexible main-level room provides the option for a first-floor bedroom, office, library, or additional living space. And the kitchen? A dream for anyone who loves to cook and entertain--thoughtfully designed with the space and amenities to complement a home of this caliber. Outside, 14 acres create an incredible sense of privacy, space, and possibility, providing a picturesque setting worthy of this remarkable historic residence.
