For those seeking privacy, seclusion, and convenience, search no more! Paradise awaits you at this 24.7 Acre Silver Spring Township property featuring a 4,500 square foot home that includes in-law/guest quarters, and a tennis court!
As you approach the home by the private driveway, you will be greeted with a wonderful front porch. Upon entering the large foyer, there is a living room with a gas fireplace to the right and a large formal dining room to the left. All three areas have hardwood floors. Walking straight through the foyer, you come to a spacious kitchen with granite countertops, a breakfast bar, a gas stovetop, and a dining area that is open to a large great room with a wood-burning fireplace. There is a wonderful sunroom located off of the kitchen that leads out to a large patio with a wisteria-covered pergola. Both are perfect for watching magnificent sunsets and wildlife! Further down the hall from the kitchen is a nice sized office, a powder room, a laundry and mudroom and to the right is a stylish in-law/guest apartment with its own living room, kitchen, bedroom, and full bath. Upstairs boasts four nice bedrooms (the master has a large bath with a steam shower and Jacuzzi tub and an enormous 10' x 15' walk-in closet). There is also a 25' x 40' floored attic room with loads of windows over the three-car garage that can easily be finished for additional living space if desired. While the basement is not finished, it has a wood stove and high ceilings and the current owners used it for ping pong, pool, exercise equipment, shuffleboard, and air hockey. Again, this area could be beautifully finished if desired.
An energy-efficient Geothermal Heat Pump (installed in 2019), gas/solar hot water, and solar panels on the barn result in amazingly low electric bills for a house of this size, averaging just $160 a month. Also, take note of the very reasonable property taxes. Both result in economical living costs compared to other comparable homes and acreage!
The tennis court, recently repaved and resurfaced, is complete with terrific lighting, a sound system, concrete storage shed, two patios, and an elevated viewing area. Closer to the house is a bocce court for additional recreational fun.
Other fine features of the home include a low maintenance metal roof over the entire house (installed in 2006), a music system throughout the entire house including the barn, DVD-wired security cameras that surveil the outside of the home, and an underground livestock watering system for fresh water on demand all year round!
The bank barn has a workshop, three overhead garage doors, and a woodstove upstairs. The lower level has a dirt floor for possible livestock and is currently used to store equipment.
While being tucked away and secluded on this private retreat, the home is still convenient to highway accesses (I-81, I-83, Rt. 15, and the PA Turnpike). Just a few miles away is great shopping and restaurants and the airport is not far away. The public elementary school is only a mile down the road and the Cumberland Valley School campus is just three miles away. This location is hard to beat!
