Property Description
Impressive combination of history and modern function. The original portion of the home features hand-hewn white oak (circa 1880's) 3 stories, exposed logs cleaned, borate treated and freshly insulated and chinked in 2014. Double hung replacement windows. The log home was moved from its original foundation and set on a new cinder block foundation in 1976. An addition had been added in 2004 which features stick framing and salvaged barn beams from a disassembled late 19th Century barn in Mechanicsburg; constructed on cinder block foundation with extra height and full basement w/permiter french drain and sump pump. Basement was used as a huge workshop to craft the custom kitchen cabinetry. Kitchen features soapstone countertops, softclose drawers, pull out shelving and pantry with microwave nook. The kitchen floor is white oak T & G from the same barn in Mechanicsburg. The Dining room goes lockstep with the kitchen - features a large hutch and 2 smaller hutches that flank the window seat. Recessed lights highlight the hutch and window seat. The owner remarked when asked "do you live in a barn" he might be tempted to say yes. The GREAT room features a massive douglas fir summer beam with matching douglas fir posts and cleats. The joist beams are white oak. The ceiling is the same wood used in kitchen floor.The fireplace is custom built of locally quarried stone. Two Master Bedrooms on the upper floors - Two Full Baths, one attached to a Master BR - Two addl bedrooms - second floor laundry - and a full Third Floor Bonus space that could be additional bedrooms, game/media room - workout space, etc. An oversized garage that can fit 4+ vehicles and plenty of storage above. Own a unique piece of history in a country setting with easy access to Rtes 78/22 - neighboring farm is 20+ acres.
