Description
6 offers were received and one was chosen. Property is UA. Truly a ”Once in a lifetime offering” One of Rapho Township’s most appealing country properties, never before available, is coming to market! This Best-in-Class dream package offers 5.9 acres of mostly flat land (some currently farmed by neighbor with no formal lease so it will end with sale) set on a hilltop with elevated sunset views, backing to oak trees and woods on two sides! Set far back off the quiet side road is a masterfully designed 2820 ft 3 bed, 2.5 bath Ketterline Custom Built Cape Cod featuring 2X6 construction, classic architectural lines and curb appeal, boasting a first floor primary suite, large bath/jet tub, dual vanities, dedicated office, walk-in dressing, soaring vaulted living spaces in the entry, the loft, the living and breakfast nook areas all anchored by the timeless enjoyment of a captivating wood FP and hearth! Just beyond is a custom kitchen with dedicated pantry, island and built ins, a charming dining area with tray ceiling, recessed lights, hardwood floors, pocket door, a even the convenience of a first floor laundry near the garage foyer. Also included is a sprawling finished lower level with high ceilings (12.5 course of block) and a cheery, light gathering egress, handsome Waterford Wood Stove with brick surround, as well as a craft room, and a highly sought after new 2023 Hydron geothermal system installed by Ranck for efficiency. Add to all that a newer replacement architectural shingle roof by MR Roofing, some newer replacement siding, a delightful vaulted screened in porch with cedar posts just off the breakfast area for viewing deer and occasional turkeys, a distinctive custom rear deck with built in bench and planters and even a commanding 38 ft concrete front porch with recessed lighting overlooking the tapestry of rolling hills and meadows out front and off to the west! There’s even a gazebo and a nice garden shed! It’s all here and it’s all served up with a high degree of cleanliness, order and maintenance by the original owner who helped designed this masterpiece as a labor of love in 1994! It would be difficult to obtain this type of spec and quality of build today for any price! The Seller is moving to a retirement community and is proud to share the place that has brought him so much joy.
