About This Home

One of Western Lancaster County’s oldest surviving homes, this remarkable farmhouse-style residence is believed to have been constructed between 1820 and 1827 using bricks made right on the property. Once left to fall into disrepair, the home was thoughtfully restored in the 1960s and has been lovingly maintained by each owner since. Inside, the beautiful entrance foyer doubles as a dining area and showcases a continuous three-story staircase that immediately highlights the home’s historic character. The kitchen offers excellent workspace with a center island, quartz countertops, gas cooking, and a hidden marble-top baking station perfect for rolling dough. The spacious living room features a decorative fireplace, while the daylight lower level includes a large family room with an additional brick decorative fireplace, full bath, and convenient laundry area. The second floor offers three generously sized bedrooms with ample closet space, along with a full bath featuring a soaking tub. The third floor provides a fourth bedroom or home office with built-ins, plus extensive storage space. Historic handwritten markings can still be seen preserved in the original plaster on the third floor. Outside, the fenced yard and multiple outdoor living spaces, including a large front porch, front patio, and rear patio, offer plenty of room for relaxing or entertaining.
