Own a piece of Pennsylvania history. This beautiful colonial home has been meticulously cared for, expanded upon, and updated since it was first built in the mid 1800s. The home exquisitely blends historic charm with modern amenities, and the layout and private backyard make it an entertainer’s dream. Built adjacent to the original owners' expanding lumber business to capitalize on the (then-) new railway system, the 2+ acre property now includes one of York County’s original train stations. This five bedroom, 3.5 bathroom, two-story colonial spans more than 6,000 SF including the home’s most recent expansion - the clever conversion of the former garage structure into a large first floor owner’s suite or guest quarters. With vaulted ceilings and loads of natural light, the suite offers an expansive open layout with wall-to-wall closets, built-in shelving, and a full bathroom with supplemental laundry and a beautifully tiled walk-in shower. Perfect for entertaining, the home features 9-ft ceilings throughout the first floor, and a spacious kitchen loaded with upgraded amenities like dual ovens, a large quartz island with seating for four, a cooktop with stainless steel hood range, and a wet bar area that comes complete with a full-sized wine refrigerator, feature cabinets that beautifully display glassware and more, a bar sink, and a separate glassware dishwasher. Off of the kitchen you’ll find the library - any book lover’s paradise. With capacity for thousands of books, the shelves are currently stacked with classics and historically significant books passed down through the generations. An additional four-seasons room, with panoramic views of the private backyard, provides a perfect space for relaxing or entertaining. Completing the first floor and adding to the homes elegant detailing and historic charm are the entryway vestibule with glass entry door and upper transom window, the parlor room with built-in cabinetry, original molding details, and wood burning fireplace, and the solid wood stairway that spirals up three floors to the attic. The second floor features four generously sized bedrooms with ample closet space, two full bathrooms, and a full laundry room. The second floor owner’s suite includes a private study, perfect for a home office or quiet retreat. The staircase continues to a spacious third-floor attic with cedar closets and additional storage. In the basement, you’ll find a bonus room rich with history, as evidenced by the billiard suite of yesteryear, solid wood paneling, and stone fireplace. Additional storage space can be found beyond the bonus room in the home’s well-preserved basement. The backyard - an oasis in and of itself - is surrounded by an aluminum fence and mature greenery. On the patio, you’ll find a pergola-covered seating area draped with the branches of one of the property’s oldest trees. The paver patio continues beyond the pergola offering a space perfectly suited for a firepit, outdoor grill, seating area and more, and is surrounded by open green space. A small garage bay can be accessed from the back yard and makes for convenient lawn care and outdoor storage space. The property also includes an adjacent parcel across the street. This parcel adds 1.4 acres to the home’s 0.85 acres for a combined total of 2.29 acres. For the history buffs, you'll find here a well-preserved train station structure spanning 3,000+ square feet. And for our outdoor enthusiasts, the parcel borders Hartman Run, making it a great spot for fishing and outdoor recreation. This property is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history while enjoying the modern comforts and space of a beautifully maintained home.
