Our 1880 Victorian brick home has been updated for modern living and is move-in ready for the next owner! The home features the original hand-carved front door and matching double-door entry way. Inside you are greeted at the foot of a grand open staircase with original hand rail and banister. The stair treads have been redone in custom solid walnut. The living room and entry floors are beautiful Brazilian cherry. Large replacement windows allow for lots of natural light and provide increased energy efficiency. The kitchen is one that cooks love! It features a 36 inch 5 burner propane cook top, pop-up exhaust, Kitchenaide SS Double wall oven and microwave with convection, Zodiac kitchen counters, cherry cabinets, 48-inch Sub-Zero refrigerator, Fischer-Pakel SS Double drawer dishwasher, and a custom island including a trash compactor, lighted spice rack and a solid walnut custom top. The cabinets feature deep wide drawers, full-extension self-closing slides, and many custom internal storage upgrades. There is a powder room on the first floor, as well as a dining room and an adjoining Courtin Parlor . These two rooms may be separated by closing two pocket doors (also original to the house). Don t have use for a Courtin Parlor? It would make an ideal home office space. The Master Bedroom is spacious and includes a remote-controlled ceiling fan, a well-lit closet space, and direct private access to the new (2019) master bath. It features a large porcelain tiled shower with multiple heads and control valves, a sliding barn door for privacy in the powder room, and a wood vanity with a marble top. The master bath may also be accessed from the central hallway. The second bath includes a tub/shower, original tong-and-groove wainscoting, a linen closet, and a small wooden medicine cabinet. The central HVAC system (new in 2015) includes all new metal duct work and features a heat pump with a high efficiency propane forced air furnace back-up, a whole-house electronically controlled humidifier, and zoning for consistent temperature control on both floors. From the second floor, you can take a second service stairway down directly to the kitchen (closer to coffee in the morning, or that midnight snack); OR you could walk out on the second-floor deck that overlooks the back yard; OR you could take another stair case up to the 3rd floor attic space. The third floor is fully floored, has overhead lighting, and plenty of head room. It is completely open (no interior walls). It even offers a view of the Susquehanna River. This would be a great space to finish and would add about 800 square feet of additional living area. The basement is unfinished , but is dry, air conditioned, and well-lit making it a great space for hobbies, workout equipment and the like. It features six crank-out vinyl insulated awning windows adding natural light to the space. The floor is concrete with an epoxy coating. The back deck may be accessed from either the kitchen or through the sun room and features a Sun Setter remote-controlled power awning for shade. A propane line and valve allows for grilling on the deck without the need to mess with re-filling 20 lb. propane tanks. The carriage house (garage) measures 18 x 24 and is in the style of the home. It is brick construction and features a newer 12' door and operator and a separate walk-in door. A wide stair case in the far corner leads to the second floor providing even more space for people with STUFF.
