Property Description

Welcome Home! Pride in ownership can be yours with this historic, beautifully renovated/restored farmhouse, nestled just minutes from all that Hershey, Lancaster and Harrisburg areas have to offer.>> Great neighborhood! Perfect house to work from home, raise a family, and even more perfect for historic home enthusiasts! Keep as is or continue to restore & update. Soooo many possibilities here.>>

Just outside Hershey, and situated in a verdant, historic setting at an equal distance from Harrisburg and Lancaster, this completely renovated beauty boasts exquisite character, excellent location, a HUGE original barn, guest house/in-law or au-pair suite/office space (or rental opportunity!), playground area, restored original chestnut & hemlock solid wood floors, an en suite bathroom attached to EVERY one of the four bedrooms, and get this... a lower level Rathskeller, with gas fireplace, and copper-topped bar.>>

This home boasts many examples of 19th-century craftsmanship that just cannot be replicated today, beginning with its solid masonry construction and native stone foundations, which were quarried on-site. >> Remaining faithful to the original architecture, all windows, cabinets, and replacement doors were handcrafted by a local custom woodworker experienced in restoration work.>> Solid bronze and brass hardware, as well as solid species wood doors throughout, including hand-oiled Philippine Mahogany screen doors at the exterior entries, help to reinforce the historic character.>>

Enter the home into the foyer, which, along with the adjoining sitting room were the only rooms in the original home back in 1809 but that was before all the additions!>> Over the years this home has been built up to a big 4 bedroom, 5 1/2 bath (including in-law suite) dream farmhouse!>>

Over the last 15 years, the home has been completely renovated and historically preserved, including the semi-detached in-law suite that features restored original floors, exposed original old-growth chestnut rafters, a full bath, kitchenette, and main room, with that renovation just completed in 2022>>

Lower level Rathskeller with bar & working gas fireplace for entertaining. Rathskeller has a private entrance/exit door.>>

Beyond upgrading the living spaces, the owners have also invested substantially in behind-the-scenes functional upgrades to this historic home all aimed toward ease of maintenance, efficiency, and livability.>>

New period-appropriate half-round gutters and downspouts were installed in 2018. Recently-installed sump pumps and a French drain system help to maintain the integrity of the homes multiple basement areas.>> Attic spaces are fully insulated, and the propane-fired high-efficiency furnace was recently overhauled.>>

This beautiful corner lot one of the first three homesteads established in the little Village of Deodate -- has 1.2 acres of well-maintained property, with an existing playset and lots of lawn space for the kiddos!>> Garden patch is irrigated via a timer-controlled sprinkler line.>> Huge barn has been upgraded with an enormous amount of practically-laid-out shelving, cabinetry, and tool storage.>>
