Property Description
Nestled in a grove a little north of Gettysburg you will find this quintessential 1800 stone home offering four bedrooms and two full baths. Dubbed a 'Hidden Treasure of Gettysburg' in 2019 by Celebrate Gettysburg, this comfortable home exudes historic character and charm. The seller has lovingly cared for and improved this home for decades, creating over time a comfortable dwelling that serves today’s discriminating buyer while maintaining the atmosphere of a classic pre-civil war stone home. In approximately the mid 1990's, two extensions were added thoughtfully to this home: first to be added was a post and beam style great room off the back of the original structure and then later, a main level primary bedroom and full bath. Both extensions blend seamlessly with the original home and complement the flavor and feel of the original home. Original plank wood floors, up to 26” in width in places, were matched well in the newer portion of the home. Two large open fireplaces (one in the dining room and one in the basement), stonework, and thick walls with two unique built-in compartments (presumably created to store candles used to mark the way along Mummasburg Road) highlight the distinctiveness and personality of this place. A small galley kitchen with cherry cabinetry was designed for efficiency and installed in 2019. Upstairs you will find the original three bedrooms and a full bath with laundry that was added at a time when that convenience became an expectation. Close to the house is a 30 x 24 two-story garage/ shop, designed to coexist beautifully with the home. It provides plenty of storage and extra space for vehicles, equipment or a wood shop. The deck off the back of the home is situated in a way that provides vistas of your very own private park-like setting. A footbridge leads past the marshy area to a meadow-like setting next to Mummasburg Run right in your own backyard. Set up a picnic area and listen to the creek bubble next to you. In an effort to maintain this tranquil atmosphere the property, consisting of more than nine acres, has been placed in conservation so covenants dictate what may and may not be done here. Perennial gardens surrounding the home were featured as Gettysburg Times’ Garden of the Month in June 2019 and could be returned to their splendor with very little effort.
