Nestled on a 3.78-acre wooded lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this home provides both seclusion and convenience. To the southwest, the property borders land owned by the Hershey Trust, while private farmland lies to the northeast, ensuring lasting privacy. Designed to maximize natural light and scenic views, the home features expansive windows and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors throughout—perfect for enjoying nature and birdwatching. The welcoming two-story foyer boasts tile floors and the home offers 9-foot ceilings which enhances the open, spacious feel. The formal living room showcases a hand-laid hardwood floor, crown molding, and a cozy propane fireplace. It flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, which features wood-paneled doors for privacy, crown molding, chair rails, and a large bay window. The main floor offers two distinct bedroom suites. The primary suite features hardwood floors, a spacious closet, a remodeled en-suite bathroom, and a sliding-glass door leading to the expansive deck. A second suite, located at the far end of the home, is ideal for a nursery, in-law quarters, or nanny accommodations. This suite opens into a beautiful Florida Room with cathedral-style windows and private deck access. The custom kitchen boasts solid cherry cabinets, neutral Corian countertops, built-in lazy-susan storage, and an elegant Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer with cherry paneling. Additional highlights include double self-cleaning ovens, a large island with Jenn-Air cooktops and grill, and hardwood floors. Adjacent to the kitchen, a screened-in porch provides a serene setting for outdoor dining. The family room is warm and inviting, featuring hardwood floors, a custom wood-burning fireplace with a Heatilator, a hearth perfect for seating, and built-in floor-to-ceiling bookcases. Three sliding-glass doors provide natural light and access to the deck. Upstairs, you’ll find a large, private study or hobby room with a cathedral ceiling, plus three additional bedrooms, each with generous closets. A full bathroom with a tub, three extra hall closets, and two large attic storage rooms with built-in shelving complete the upper level. The full walkout basement is equipped with state-of-the-art, energy-efficient geothermal heating and cooling systems, controlled by two separate thermostats on the main floor. A dedicated workshop area with a built-in workbench is also included. Double doors lead to the oversized two-car garage. In the spring, naturalized daffodils bloom along the property, while the peaceful sound of bullfrogs echoes from the nearby stream. Fall is worry-free with installed Gutter Guards for leaf control.
