Description

Nestled on a tranquil three quarters of an acre lot in the scenic School Lane Hills neighborhood of Lancaster, this enchanting 1940s Colonial Revival home blends timeless elegance with modern convenience. Surrounded by majestic, mature trees, the property is accessed through a gated entrance and features a circular driveway with ample parking. The outdoor spaces are equally impressive with a spacious flagstone patio equipped with built-in speakers, creating a wonderful retreat. The lower-level patio includes a built-in granite table for entertaining, while the upper-level patio provides additional seating and a grilling area. Inside, the home exudes warmth with hardwood and tile flooring, bathed in natural light. The custom kitchen, overlooking the lush backyard, is a chef’s dream, featuring top-tier appliances such as a Wolf gas cooktop, two Bosch wall ovens, a built-in dishwasher, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator with custom paneling. Adding a touch of luxury to the kitchen are granite countertops, radiant heated floors, and underlit cabinetry. Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining room with built-in storage, a butcher block coffee bar, and a cozy sitting area. The graceful living room boasts a carved wood fireplace with a marble hearth and space above for a TV. A bright sunroom, adorned with stunning Italian tile, is a peaceful spot for reading or dining, and opens directly to the back patio. The office/family room, also with patio access, features rich wood paneling, built-in bookshelves, and a warm wood fireplace insert, making it the ideal space for both work and relaxation. On the second level, there are five bedrooms, three updated bathrooms, and a laundry room with a wall-mounted ironing board. Each bedroom has its own thermostat for personalized comfort. The owner’s suite serves as a serene retreat complete with two walk-in closets and a spa-like bathroom featuring double sinks, a tiled walk-in shower, custom cabinetry, and a cozy sitting nook. Two additional bedrooms are perfectly suited for guests, with two adjacent bathrooms and a private staircase leading to the main level. The finished lower level is versatile space for a rec room, TV area, games, or a home gym. It also opens to a storage room with a Bilco door for outdoor access. Additional storage and hookups for a second washer and dryer can be found in the utility room. A large first-floor storage area with a garage door opens into a mudroom with radiant heated floors and a closet that could double as a pantry. Additional highlights include built-in speakers throughout much of the main level, security cameras surrounding the property, and a whole-house gas-powered generator that activates automatically during power outages.
