If you love older homes that have many stories to tell over their lifespan then this one is worth your time. With its double front doors and wrapped front porch that overlooks just under an acre of fenced-in, tree-lined land, you will not believe this property sits just off Country Club Road near York College. Adding to its serenity is an in-ground pool surrounded by plantings that flower from spring through fall. This property is designed for entertaining both small and large gatherings of family and friends of all ages or just enjoying the solace and peace on your own.
The home has four bedrooms and an office ideally suited for remote working at home! The master bedroom features a large walk-in closet, laundry room, and bathroom that includes the original deep soaking porcelain tub. The other three bedrooms share a hallway bathroom with a tub and shower. One of the unique aspects of this older home is the interconnectedness of the bedrooms. For example, the front two rooms have separate entrances, but also share a door between them. Similarly, the third bedroom is connected to the master through the bathroom, perfect for a nursery. Alternatively, the rooms are all private simply by closing doors.
The main floor includes a kitchen remodeled within the past 10 years with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range. There is also a half-bath located just off the back patio entrance which flows into the kitchen. The family room, situated beside the kitchen, offers a view of the bluestone patio, yard, and pool through two windows and a set of French doors. It is amazing to watch the change of seasons through this view the falling leaves, the falling snow, and the emergence of spring. The floorplan then flows from the family room to the dining room and a large parlor featuring a gas fireplace and an original paneled stairway wall leading to the second floor. A single French door at the base of the stairway landing brings natural light into the parlor and also up the stairs.
With engineered wood flooring throughout the majority of the home, it serves as a blank canvas for any design style. The upstairs bathrooms, both renovated within the past 10 years, include tile flooring in the master and vinyl plank in the hallway.
A bonus room is an attic. Ideal for easy storage but also a space that offers wonderful natural light with windows on all four sides, including two floor-to-ceiling originals. The homes basement includes the furnace and hot water tank on one side, a workbench, shelving for storage, and a fridge on the other. With entrance from inside the home, or the metal Bilco door, storage for bikes and other outdoor or garden equipment doesnt get any easier. Additional outdoor storage also includes a cedar shake shed near the pool area and an outdoor closet, near the back gated entryway.
The property includes a large parking area that can accommodate five cars with dedicated space, or the ability to pack in 10 for those big family and friends gatherings!
This home has much to offer for those who cherish good, old bones and the uniqueness that offers. But above all, it is a wonderful place to create lifelong memories.
