....if the walls could talk...you may hear about President Eisenhower visiting to play golf, about one working with Albert Einstein and the Manhattan Project, about ties to Samuel Schmucker, who founded Gettysburg College and Seminary or family members that started The York Telephone and Telegraph Company and York Wallpaper....but mostly how this historic beauty longs to be loved again by the new owner. The Eisenhart Estate, founded in 1917 and in the hands of the same family for 107 years, will mesmerize you. The eclectic blend of colonial architecture was designed by architect Robert A. Stair Jr. and inspired by the family's Bermudian estate. It houses over 5000 SF of an elegant living area. Foyer, formal living, dining, kitchen and office at the main floor filled with daylight filtered through large porches and windows, a grand stair connecting to sleeping quarters above, with 6 bedrooms and 4 baths, a finished attic, all under slate roof, including a two-level carriage house. This unique home is beautifully nestled in the Wyndham Hills of York Pa, located on over 3 acres of lush land, lined by linden trees, secluded and peaceful, yet minutes away from York College, York Hospital, Rt 83 and other conveniences. Known as "The Magnolia House" it is a flower lovers heaven, rich in unique plants, it will bring colors to every season by vast variety of blooming trees, daffodils, lilies, roses, rhododendrons, azaleas, peonies and hostas. Even the winter will brighten up by a lenten rose, witch hazel and jasmin. The orchard with apple, pear and fuyu persimmon trees completes this enchanted garden with a greenhouse supplied with water, electric and gas. Years 1947 and 2014 brought major renovations, last one by complete slate roof replacement, new windows, and updated mechanicals. This high quality home is a rare find, please rush to see this unique property so you are the one sipping morning coffee watching birds and butterflies under the copper beech, before it is sold and cherished for another 100 years!
