Secluded Retreat in Historic Cornwall!
This expansive property, spanning over 3.5 acres, is a must-see for those seeking a unique home in the heart of historic Cornwall. While nestled in its own private natural sanctuary, the property is surrounded by local amenities like the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail, the Cornwall Playground and the Cornwall Elementary School.
Relax under the mature canopy of trees while your kids play in the pool, creek, or wooded paradise. As you sit outside, take in the view of the railway overpass, the historic stone tunnel, and the iconic Cornwall-Lebanon Railway Bridge. The railway above the property once connected Cornwall, Lebanon and Mount Gretna until the 1970s. Now, the entire railway has been transformed into an 18-mile rail trail, perfect for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.
This remarkable home exudes the kind of character and allure that only older homes possess. With five bedrooms and a formal living room connected to the three-season room, you’ll never feel cramped for space. Need a quiet retreat? The den in the opposite wing of the home provides privacy and quiet time. For your convenience, there are two stairways leading to the second floor — one in each wing of the house.
The home was built in 3 phases. The original section, built in the early 1900s, once served as headquarters for the Cornwall Mines and living quarters for the Supervisor. Its features include a brownstone facade, a covered front porch, a finished attic, and beautiful hardwood floors. An addition completed in 1950 introduced a spacious Master Suite, a large living room, and a formal dining room. The current owner further enhanced the property by adding a three-season room and an in-ground pool by Sylvan in 1984. Don’t miss the historic black-and-white photo inside the home, capturing its past as the Cornwall Mine headquarters.
Families with school-age children will love this location—a short 5-minute walk to Cornwall Elementary School and the Cornwall Playgrounds. The spring-fed creek feeds into the headwaters of Snitz Creek, just across the street. Kids of all ages will enjoy exploring nearby areas like Quentin, Miners Village, Burd Coleman, Rexmont and Mount Gretna.
This one-of-a-kind property, owned by the same family for over 50 years, is a rare find. Don’t miss out on this lifetime opportunity!
