The character of yesteryear and the stability of a solid home is a good place to come home to. Is it the 4 bedroom, 2 bath home with extra sitting room, or the option to have an extra bedroom on the first floor just off the laundry and full first floor bath that you're looking for? Parking is behind the house beside the wooden barn that was once a stage coach stop on the Old Strasburg Road between Philadelphia and Lancaster. There's a double gate to close off the driveway. As you descend the concrete steps, pause and take in the landscape of cottage flower gardens with perennials and trees. A french drain was added to the back yard to allow surface water to divert around the house to the street below. Not very visible, it's hidden the greenery and color that brings pause to the day and lifts your spirits. Looking beyond the house is the Gap Town Clock that still keeps time for all to see, the stone mansion house where President Buchanan a native of Pennsylvania, gave a speech to the town of Gap - in- the-Hills. The side yard near this house is secluded by a manicured natural hedge and keeps the property private and stays green all year. The metal gate allows the owner to retrieve mail by rural delivery. Cross the patio and enter the side door to enter the kitchen area. Updated kitchen cabinets with all newer stainless steel appliances that stay. Windows replaced 19 years ago. Before entering the dining area, look up to see the transom that allowed for ventilation on the first floor. The dining area is being used as a sitting area and has a vintage wall cabinet and traditional light fixture. Entering the Living room, take notice of the pocket doors tucked in the wall between the two rooms. The window unit there, is said to cool the entire first floor ands stays with the house. Pass the front door that leads to the covered porch and stairs to the second floor to enter the extra sitting room. A full size laundry with washer and dryer plus storage. Off the laundry is the full bathroom with stall shower. Second floor has carpet in all 4 bedrooms. The primary bedroom is spacious and has a wall mount mirror, just to check the look before you leave for the day. The smallest bedroom has lots of closets and could be the gym area. The room in the back of the house has no closet, but has a new window to view the side yard. The other front bedroom has access to the walk up attic that is floored for storage. Peak in the short door to see the little cubby, interesting! The bathroom on second floor needs a toilet and plumbing hooked up. Walls and flooring are in place. Let's head to the front porch. Newly painted, enjoy some fresh air but the seclusion of the hedge gives the peaceful setting to simply enjoy. The foundation and basement of the stately house is stone with dirt floors. The utilities there are oil furnace(ten years old), hot water heater and sump pump. The gutters on the front of the house within the last year. Many different perennials like ferns and help to maintain the landscape and the slope of the lot. The Square wood barn would tell lots of stories. Use extreme caution in the barn and stairway to second floor, there is no handrail. Welcome home that that home near the corner that has been there for years, but the seclusion of the trees and hedge have hidden it in plain sight.
