Looking for some room to roam, out in the country, but in a convenient location? This 10.7 acre farmette, sitting right on the MD/PA line in Southern York County School District, is just the ticket!
The property has history, having been the location of the old Smith Mill (the mill race and stone foundation of the mill is still on the property). A brook trout stream runs through the property, and there are fenced pastures for your horses, sheep or other livestock, as well as a run-in shed. The 30 x 40 Barn offers plenty of space to store your tractor, tools, and house small animals. There is a also a handy wood shed, smoke house, garden area, woods to explore and fields to enjoy. Sit out on the flagstone patio and listen to the creek, watch the wildlife and count the stars.
The 19th Century-era home has been well maintained and updated by the long-term current owners, retaining the original charm, yet adding modern conveniences. A two-story addition was completed around 2000, adding a modern, eat-in kitchen on the main level, and a full owner's suite on the second floor, both with French doors leading to the outside.
The kitchen has ceramic floors, ample counter and cabinet space, stainless steel appliances, including a 36” Premier 6-burner gas range. The main level also offers a mudroom with laundry area (includes washer and dryer), living room, full bath, office/den and sunporch with windows that provide lots of natural light, perfect for your plants or to sit and enjoy the view and a good book.
A curved stairway leads upstairs, where you will find a large primary suite, with a private bath, walk-in closet, and French doors leading to the backyard. Three additional bedrooms with rustic plank floors, and another full bath complete the second floor. A walk-up attic provides tons of storage space, and houses the central A/C and ductwork.
In the lower level, you will find a charming family room, with a dual fuel Harmon coal/wood stove, providing warmth for the entire home. This room has a second refrigerator and a wet bar, with built in cabinets to store games and puzzles for family game night! There is also access to the front yard through a utility room under the sunporch, which also is perfect for storing the wood and coal for the stove.
All this in a quiet rural setting, yet just minutes to all that New Freedom has to offer, such as the Hike and Bike rail trail, restaurants, Steam Into History train, and easy access to I-83 for MD commuters. 1 year HMS Home Warranty being offered.
