Welcome to this charming 1870 brick home nestled on 1.3 picturesque acres in Millersville, PA, where history and nature converge in a serene, storybook setting. This beautifully maintained property offers direct access to the Little Conestoga Creek, an inviting spot to kayak, fish, or simply enjoy the abundant wildlife, including bald eagles, heron, and deer, all just minutes from Millersville University, Penn Manor schools, and downtown Lancaster. Originally part of a historic mill complex, the home was once owned by Lizzie Herr of the Herr family, early settlers from Switzerland and Germany who arrived in Lancaster before the Revolutionary War. Thoughtfully updated to preserve its historic charm, the house now features three spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a convenient half bath. Two inviting front entrances and a cozy porch provide the perfect space to relax and enjoy the warmer months. Inside, hardwood floors flow through the living room, formal dining room, and breakfast nook, leading into a well-appointed kitchen with generous built-in cabinetry. A sunroom off the kitchen offers year-round views of the patio and wooded yard, ideal for morning coffee or quiet reflection. The family room, once a summer kitchen, features exposed wood beams, a brick hearth with wood mantel, and a wood stove set in the original cooking fireplace. Upstairs, the primary suite offers hardwood flooring, a full ensuite bath with tub shower and double sink, while two additional bedrooms and a second full bath complete this level. The third floor includes a bonus room with vaulted ceilings, plush carpeting, and an unfinished attic for storage. Outside, you'll find a yard in the spring season with spring wildflowers, a patio for entertaining, and private access to the creek, all on a scenic corner lot with a four-car driveway. This unique property is a rare blend of historic legacy, natural beauty, and modern amenities, perfectly situated near schools, the university, and the vibrant culture of Lancaster.
