It takes a special person to appreciate the old-world craftsmanship that went into building the "Raab Mansion," a residence originally built for William H Raab, a York County Cigar Manufacturer, in 1903. The home remained in the Raab Family until the current owners purchased it back in 1992. It is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Beveled glass, leaded glass, high ceilings, intricately carved banisters, stunning natural woodwork, gleaming in-laid hardwood floors, nooks and crannies for those special keepsakes, hand-cut stone, wrap-around front porch and a balcony overlooking a splendid backyard garden combine to make this home a premier example of gracious living. A true labor of love for the current owners as they have painstakingly restored the residence. Modern systems have been skillfully integrated to provide the utmost comfort and convenience without detracting from its gracious charm. Storage space is not lacking, and the unique design allows for flexibility throughout all levels of the home. A beautiful staircase leads to the large walk-up attic which is partially finished with a 6x11 hallway leading to one finished room and three additional rooms. The rooms have closets and doors connecting to the adjoining rooms....perfect for additional bedrooms, studio space, office or whatever other space you might need. The lower level is partially finished with a large family room showcasing the beautiful stone foundation. Garden lovers will want to spend every waking moment in the picturesque backyard, with brick walkways, patios, fishponds, potting shed, and plush plantings. It is the perfect place to escape! An oversized 2-car garage, with 2nd floor storage, and a large paved driveway permits ample parking, storage and workspace. Relish small-town living, while being minutes to major arteries, necessities, parks, recreation and walking distance of schools and other conveniences. It is your chance to set the clock back to a far gentler period! Agents Please read Agent Remarks and Bright Docs for additional information.
