The home boasts six bedrooms, five full and three half baths, over 7,700 square feet of living space, as well as five fireplaces and two walk-in cedar closets. This Colonial Revival Mansion was built in 1931 and designed by local architect Melvern R. Evans of Lancaster.

Off the foyer is an oversized living room complete with hardwood floors and gas fireplace. A bright and relaxing sunroom shines with an exposed stone wall, heated marble flooring, and patio access. An archway leads to the pleasant wine bar that includes cabinet space, a wine fridge, and a sink and is conveniently located in between the gourmet kitchen and formal dining room. The stunning and popular chef’s dream gourmet kitchen is a work of art by Bobby Herr Kitchen with an oversized 11-foot center island, granite countertops, and breakfast bar. Surrounding the island is a plethora of custom cabinets and counterspace, plus top of the line appliances including a six-burner gas range with vent, two dishwashers, a warming drawer, two refrigerator drawers, and built-in desk. Also highlighting the kitchen and a place everyone will want to congregate is the breakfast area with a lovely gas fireplace that overlooks the eye-catching patio.
