Here’s a HIDDEN GEM, right in the heart of Annville, and it’s oh, so much better than new!!!
This beauty, constructed in 1948, has been fully renovated and expanded, with completion in 2007. The character and style have been maintained, in the original hardwood floors, wide woodwork, built-ins, and more. A custom kitchen includes solid cherry cabinetry, an island with quartz countertop includes a built-in Jenn-Air gas stove top, built-in bookshelves, cabinetry and seating, with overhanging pendant lights and recessed lighting. Stainless appliances include a built-in Microwave/Convection Oven, a built-in Gas Oven, a double-sink with disposal, high-quality dishwasher and refrigerator. This area opens to the living room and dining room—great for entertaining. The dining room provides access to the 10’ x 58’ patio, perched on the hillside, overlooking the lawn, meadow, and the Quittapahilla Creek. In the warmer months, entertain in this lovely area with natural gas access for the grill and firepit, and rear entry to the mudroom, with a .5 bath for guests. The living room includes a gas fireplace for cozy indoor entertaining in the colder months. An open staircase with wood and iron railing, accesses the second-floor loft area including a library nook with crown molding, and a built-in desk. One full bath adjoins this loft/central hall area.
The upper floor expands to include two bedrooms on the west end, and an expansive Primary Suite on the east end of this level. One of the two bedrooms has been recently utilized as an office. Surrounding desk remains, along with built-in drawers in the eaves, and a cedar closet. Both bedrooms to the west include hardwood floors. Bedroom two includes double closets and attic access, plus built-in drawers.
The Primary Suite features a high, vaulted ceiling, skylights with built-in blinds, wall sconces, dual closets plus a walk-in closet, and patio/lookout, to enjoy a nighttime cocktail, or breakfast coffee, overlooking your little slice of heaven. Take a look at the adjoining bath with jetted tub and tile surround, under a window with view of the creek; a double shower, large double-bowl vanity, with expansive custom cherry cabinetry; fantastic mirrors and lighting; top quality countertops, fixtures, and flooring.
The 24’ x 24’ attached garage offers more than 24’ running feet of upper and lower cabinets, plus metro-shelving, a central vac system accessible in your garage, a utility sink, and GET THIS—A HEATED DRIVEWAY! No more shoveling snow. The garage enters into a well-lit finished mudroom, with a half bath and entry into the kitchen and to the patio.
A detached 24’ x 27’ garage of metal construction, with a concrete floor and large overhead door, plus a man door, includes electrical service, a propane gas Modine heater, more extensive cabinetry, and work space, wall shelves, storage in the eaves, a gravel driveway, and additional parking.
In addition to the beauty of the entire property, function and practicality are at a premium throughout. Just look at all the mechanicals in this beautifully-maintained home. Portions of the property are located in flood zone. (Elevation Study Available). The lower level is generally unfinished clean storage. A small finished area includes a shower and lavatory facility. The former owner has equipped the lower level with high-end mechanicals to handle any potential flood event, allowing for his enjoyment of this beautiful property for the past 18 years.
