About This Home

As of May 2025

Very rare lovingly authentically remodeled 1800's home (with 2011 addition) in historic downtown Gettysburg, just one block off the square! Zoning is Old Town, with Historic Overlay, allowing for commercial uses or residential uses. Just a few steps from the courthouse makes it a great option for an attorney's office. Just a block from Historic Gettysburg Square, and the fact that there are 2 front rooms that could be partitioned off from the rest of the house makes it an option for some small commercial space, while still living in the house. Exterior is exceptionally charming with beautifully painted golden yellow/green/red painted wood and vinyl siding , fenced yard with brick patios on side and rear, flowerbeds, and all front-facing windows are old wavy glass, along with some stained glass panels. Adding even more charm is the summer kitchen in rear yard with metal roof and brick floor. Inside you will find all solid hardwood floors. Kitchen features brick-front wood-burning fireplace, custom island with seating, quartz countertops, all new in 2023 stainless steel Kitchenaid appliances, pantry cabinet and closet that could be a pantry, and dining area. 1st floor laundry. First floor also has a full bath with walk-in shower and a large bedroom. 2nd floor has 3 more bedrooms, one of which is the primary with an en-suite full bath. 2nd floor also has full hall bath , hallway walk-in closet and an office. Walk-up attic, accessed in hallway, could be made into additional living space. 2 HVAC systems. Whole house sprinkler system. 2 car garage has loft, plus 2 off-alley parking spots. It's truly rare to find such a well-done remodel in downtown Gettysburg! See associated documents for details on the remodeling and addition, as well as historic info..
