Step into the timeless character of this circa 1890 two-story brick home, where historic charm meets exceptional flexibility. Thoughtfully maintained and full of warmth, the property offers a rare combination of preserved architectural character, comfortable living, and versatile accommodations to suit a variety of lifestyles. The main level gracefully blends original details from the home’s earliest beginnings with later renovations, creating inviting spaces that feel both classic and functional. A warm living room centered around a wood-burning brick fireplace offers a welcoming place to gather and flows into the dining area for entertaining ease. The gorgeous Granite and Corian kitchen is a chef's dream and includes a cozy breakfast nook with wood stove. Your houseplants and herbs will thrive in the sun-filled enclosed porch. Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms with wood floors, a full bath, and a walk-up attic which, if finished, could provide additional flex space for a studio or playroom. Adding even more value, the 2-car detached heated garage is topped by a spacious loft apartment featuring a full bathroom, kitchen, soaring ceilings, and large windows, making it an ideal au pair suite, guest retreat, studio, private office, or potential rental. The options are endless! The deck and hot tub overlook a serene setting with a fishpond, mature trees, and perennial plantings, including the Peace sign garden! You truly feel like you’re tucked away from the rest of the world! Located in the small town of Shermans Dale and hidden by trees in a quiet little space of your own, you are just minutes to local eateries, stores, and local businesses, 20 minutes to Carlisle or 30 minutes to Harrisburg/Mechanicsburg areas. It's truly the best of both worlds. With ample room to relax, explore, and enjoy the setting, this special home offers privacy, character, and possibilities that are increasingly hard to find.
