SERENITY NEAR THE SUSQUEHANNA IN EASTERN YORK SCHOOLS : Oh give me a home where the wild turkey and deer roam... and the skies are not cloudy all day. Well, we can almost guarantee the first part! This is a treasure of a property where wild turkey and deer DO roam. The original home is built c. 1864. Barn built c. 1884. All by Dan Leber. - To really understand this amazing home please check out the links for: 3D walkthrough, floor plans and videos to get a good sense of just how special this home is! The current owners bought this and renovated it to exacting, meticulous standards to fit their family of 7 as a long term homestead. The intent of the well done renovations was to update the home and property to current standards, make it as easy to maintain as possible, energy and functionally efficient. This required reworking the interior, updating mechanicals like HVAC, central vac, windows where needed, hard surface flooring and paint throughout. Life changed and they are off to another adventure elsewhere. The next owner will reap the benefits of this lovingly updated and intentionally well crafted home.
This home can serve as one big sprawling residence for a large family, several work at home stations, it could be 3 multi-generational areas and easily 3 separate airbnb units. It’s a great amount of well laid out space that can be used as it is or reimagined to the next lucky owner’s needs. There are 5-7 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, hang out space on several levels, a master suite showcasing beautiful stone foundation walls leading to a brick paver patio and beautiful view of the pond and peaceful setting.
In the original section built in 1864, there are deep window sills, what remains of the kitchen is now a kitchenette, gleaming hardwoods and a colonial feel. In the newer section there is an eat in kitchen with plenty of room for a very large table in front of a floor to ceiling blue stone fireplace. Again renovations were meant to be long term, so everything was done to the level of owners with excellent attention to details and a flair for intentional and beautiful design.
Outside, the new wood shake siding and the copper details bring charm. The $60,000 stone retaining wall brings strength and functionality. The bank barn is massive. The current owners dug into the bank, poured concrete and created an RV storage that can accommodate up to a 50’ RV. Bring your boat, the Susquehanna is just a short half mile drive away. Folks, there is too much to write and too much to explain about this home. The almost 7 acres is pure serenity with this gem tucked perfectly into the countryside to limit sight lines to other homes and promote a sense of spacious privacy in a bucolic setting.
