Property Description

Welcome home to a thoughtfully designed and well-maintained residence that blends material quality, functional layout, and future-ready networking infrastructure supporting modern remote work and work-from-home flexibility. The layout is ideal for first-floor living and well suited for both daily routines and entertaining. This craftsman style home presents as a modest sized ranch, however it is much larger and spacious on the inside than it appears at first glance. The main living areas are anchored by premium Brazilian Cherry solid hardwood flooring—an imported exotic hardwood known for durability, visual depth, and warmth. Nine-foot ceilings throughout and a semi-open floor plan create an airy, connected feel, while vaulted ceilings in the family room and dining room enhance light and scale. An instant-on gas fireplace adds comfort and ambiance with modern convenience. The first-floor owner’s suite provides privacy and accessibility, featuring a well-appointed en-suite bath with an oversized jetted bathtub offering a spacious, spa-like experience. In total, three of the home’s five bedrooms are located on the first floor, along with the laundry room, enhancing true first-floor living convenience. Upstairs, a loft overlooks the family room below and provides access to the two upstairs bedrooms. On one side of the loft, you have a massive secondary suite with its own bathroom. This could be used as a bedroom, a guest suite, in-law quarters, or multigenerational family living. On the other side of the loft is a generous bedroom with its own bonus room above the garage. Bedroom suites both on the main floor and upstairs offers substantial flexibility. The spacious kitchen offers generous counter space and ample storage space featuring oversized upper cabinets, pullout drawers in lower cabinets, and large high-quality appliances. The adjoining kitchen and dining areas are finished with premium granite countertops and durable porcelain tile flooring. The nearly 2,000 square foot unfinished basement features solid poured concrete walls and minimal obstructions, offering exceptional versatility for future expansion and added home resale value. Create the ultimate entertainment space, storage room, workshop, game room, home theatre, home gym, offices, or any combination thereof. Designed for modern connectivity and work-from-home flexibility, the home features multiple wired Ethernet ports in four bedrooms and the family room, supporting dedicated home office setups, smooth gaming, and high-definition streaming. Four hard-wired Wi-Fi access points provide seamless whole-home coverage with no dead zones. The network cable infrastructure is future-ready and supports 10-gigabit networking capability as service becomes available. Several valuable items convey to enhance move-in readiness, including a dedicated garage circuit for EV charging, an 86-inch television, garage refrigerator, kitchen refrigerator, microwave, gas stove, and a snow blower. Ideally positioned in the heart of all that Mechanicsburg has to offer, the home offers convenience and connectivity with close proximity to major highways and interstates, multiple schools, medical centers, shopping districts, restaurants, nightlife, and essential community services.
