An astounding first impression is made with the elegant gate which opens upon approach. Countless custom features and amenities of this prestigious manor start with the front antique wood door which opens up to an awe-inspiring foyer. As you walk into this grand and spectacular beauty, you will find 9' and 10' ceilings, spacious rooms with crown molding, and grand windows that let in an abundance of natural lighting. Immediately to the right of the front door is an amazingly detailed living room with built-in speakers, hardwood floors, distinct walls with a tissue paper and glaze coating, and a wood burning fireplace with a beautiful English plaster hatchment above the mantle. A must-see highlight is the library with French doors, built-in shelves, beadboard ceiling with exposed beams, and a wood fireplace. The kitchen is a masterpiece with double sided fireplace, custom cabinets, new appliances, and a door for easy access to the formal dining room. Little details, like the elegant composite mantle in the dining room, make this home a luxurious retreat. Convenient 1st floor living was well thought out with the placement of a 1st floor bedroom and its own private full bath. Excellent for guests, extended family, elderly or handicap who have difficulty with moving up and down floors. Also on the main floor is a full laundry room with refrigerator, oven, sink, and counterspace. The upper level hosts 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a bonus room with an array of possibilities. The owner's suite is a true oasis, boasting a sitting room, bonus room that could double as a nursery, private bath and dressing room. The private bath is jaw-dropping, with dual vanities, marble countertops, a walk-in tile shower, and a jetted tub with Corinthian pillars. The next bedroom has access to a full bath, while the third bedroom includes a spacious studio that could be converted into many uses, such as a playroom, office, or even a workshop. The finished walkout lower level has a fabulous open space for entertaining with built-ins and open space for a rec area. The walls have a high railing and paneling as well as bench seating. There is also an option for living quarters with a bedroom and connected full bath. The exterior grounds are just as breathtaking as the interior. Boasting multiple patios, a garden area, and pristine landscaping on all sides, this is truly a wonderful area for summer activities. The nearby Conewago Lake offers fun throughout the summer. There is direct access from the property onto the 18 mile Lebanon Valley Rail-Trail which runs from the city of Lebanon to Elizabethtown and can be enjoyed for hiking, biking, jogging and cross country skiing.
