Step into the timeless charm of this beautifully updated 1860s home, where historic character meets modern comfort and an incredibly versatile floor plan. Conveniently located near Route 15, the property offers easy access to both Gettysburg and Frederick and is less than an hour from Harrisburg, PA. With Mixed Use/Village zoning and flexible living spaces throughout, this unique property offers endless possibilities for multi-generational living, working from home, rental potential, or simply spreading out and enjoying all the space. The main level welcomes you with gracious living and entertaining areas, including a formal living room featuring a new electric heat-producing fireplace, a sitting room, and a spacious dining room with an adjacent wet bar. Previously used as an Airbnb space with its own entrance, full bathroom, and kitchenette, this area provides tremendous flexibility and could easily be adapted to suit a variety of needs. At the heart of the home is the large gourmet country kitchen, thoughtfully updated brand new Frigidaire appliances, generous cabinetry, and a large pantry. New luxury vinyl flooring with radiant heat adds comfort underfoot. An adjacent mudroom has been converted into a convenient scullery, while the original washer and dryer hookups remain accessible. An attached half bathroom with utility sink adds even more functionality. The second level features a spacious primary bedroom with a newly built en-suite bathroom and the convenience of a stackable washer and dryer. Two additional bedrooms share a second full bathroom, while the third has en en-suite with full bath. Continue to the finished portion of the third-floor attic, where two additional rooms and a full bathroom create even more possibilities for bedrooms, a playroom, guest quarters, home offices, or recreation space. A second attic area, accessed by separate stairs, remains unfinished and provides abundant storage or future potential. With its adaptable layout, the home can accommodate up to seven bedrooms and multiple en-suite arrangements—ideal for an au pair, in-laws, teenagers, adult children, guests, or potential rental use. Modern improvements continue throughout the property, including fresh paint in nearly every room and a new three-zone Mitsubishi mini-split HVAC system. An upgraded Hyper Heat compressor serves the first level, a second zone serves the upper floors, and a third independently conditions the detached cottage. The detached, conditioned cottage is currently enjoyed as a "Man Cave," but its bright interior, three windows, and French doors facing the street make it equally suited for a home office, gym, studio, or small retail space. It also offers potential for conversion to an Accessory Dwelling Unit. Outside, two levels of covered porches overlook a charming slate courtyard with a fountain, creating an inviting setting for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The completely fenced yard offers both sunny and shaded areas, two raised vegetable gardens, low-maintenance perennial gardens—including a registered Monarch Waystation—and newly planted trees and shrubs that create a private in-town oasis perfect for children, pets, gardening, and entertaining. Parking is another rare advantage, with space for up to seven vehicles, including five marked spaces off the North Street alley and two stacked spaces in the driveway, plus additional metered street parking.
