About This Home

This is an absolutely unique opportunity to find a home with country feel but yet still very conveniently located and close to both Carlisle, Mechanicsburg and Harrisburg. This two story house with walk-out basement has 5-bedrooms, of which 2 are main bedroom suits, 3.5 baths and is spaciously arranged on approximately 2.5 acres of agricultural land. It was absolutely remodeled in the year 2000 and a new main floor bedroom, bathroom and family room was added, new siding was added all around the expanded home. Many amenities and additions that create both a beautiful and functional living experience. The house has a large kitchen with plenty of storage and recently added propane gas appliances, the family room, which is adjacent to the kitchen, has a wood burning fireplace and the formal living room, which leads outside to the pool area, has vaulted ceiling and lots of windows. . The main bedroom on the first floor has a cathedral ceiling and the adjoining bathroom has 2 vanities, walk-in shower and steam room generator for the shower enclosure. The utility room with washer/dryer is conveniently located between the main bedroom and kitchen. Adjoining the main bedroom is an recently added enclosed 12x24 foot screened in porch with a 6-person hot tub.
The second floor has another main bedroom suite and three more bedrooms that easily double as office space or can become a guest or parents-in-law quarters. Full additional bath services those bedrooms. Large, walk out, basement is partially finished. New, owned, water softening system as well as a new water control backbone were recently added. Two propane heating systems (both less than 6 years old). Secondary heating source for the main house provided by a functional wood burning stove in the back yard. Generac whole-house backup generation system incorporated into the house electrical panel.
Yard is designed for functionality with entire property post/rail fenced (wire mesh underneath). Out buildings include chicken coop/pig pen, green house with rain water system, garden shed, work shed and a recently built 42 foot horse barn with 4 stalls and loft storage. Each building has electrical and water hookups. The owner had 2 miniature horses, 1 miniature cow, 3 sheep and 3 pigs and lots of birds. It is a paradise!!!! 30x40x6 foot pond with waterfall and circulation system. 10 fruit trees as well as berry bushes and grape vines. 30x40x8 in-ground swimming pool with pool shed for storage of all essentials.
