Property Description
Steeped in history, this Circa 1790 Stone Farmhouse on 10 acres is the perfect getaway from hectic lives complete with wooded acreage, a stream, chicken house and an abundance of nature to watch and listen too! Be warned…you may not want to leave!
The entrance to the driveway is marked by a giant sycamore tree – it’s the largest on record in York County! Follow the private lush drive into the parking area near the big rhododendrons and the Summer House showing off its new metal roof.
Early photos of the property show a grist mill and stone barn, when J. Larry Miller (father of the current owner) restored the house in the early 1970's he included millstones in the design. As you approach the house you will be greeted with half a millstone at the base of the steps to the front porch, adorned with rocking chairs for your morning coffee or evening glass of wine while being entertained by six pairs of cardinals frolicking from tree to tree. Mr. Miller also built the low stone walls you see from stones found around the property.
As you enter the home into the foyer the millstone in the center of the floor will draw your attention along with the 10’ ceilings! From there you can explore in any direction… left to the dining room and back to the kitchen, straight into the library or office space with a Dutch door leading to the backyard (ideal spot for a patio), or right to the family room with a wood-stove fireplace. Don’t miss the powder room discreetly tucked in between the kitchen and the library. Both floors of the home feature rustic beauty in varied width Pennsylvania chestnut or pine floor boards, chair railings, over-sized trim, time period hardware and deep windowsills. On the second floor you will see one full bath with a tub/shower, three nicely sized bedrooms with a bonus room off the primary bedroom that would make a perfect nursery, office, walk-in closet or storage space as used currently. And speaking of storage, there is a convenient stairway providing easy access to the large, dry attic just outside the bathroom. For a home of this age, the plaster walls are in absolutely amazing condition, testimony to the care of the owner!!
If you dream of a farmette, this property is the perfect fit! The chicken house can be adapted for rabbits, goats or pigs too, there are two horse stalls and plenty of clear pasture. The garden area in front of the chicken house is already fenced in for your plantings and the back slope makes a killer sledding run and amazing views out the rear windows of the home. For the history buff, a historian concluded that Phillip Shaffer, the original owner of this property fought in the Revolutionary War - as a citizen of Shrewsbury Township, York County. This charming home is located less than 10 minutes from I-83 for easy commuting to York or Baltimore and minutes from local eateries, shopping, Lake Redman, breweries, festivals and the list goes on! Come enjoy the peace and beauty this historic property has to offer!
