A rare opportunity to own a true gem in the heart of Lititz!!! This thoughtfully-designed 3,500 sq. ft. custom Cape Cod home features solid brick construction, original hardwood floors and hand-built cabinetry, first floor primary bedroom/bath, a bright and functional kitchen, custom touches throughout, storage space galore, two fireplaces, a large covered breezeway/patio, an oversized 4-car garage with half bath, a versatile 975 sq. ft. 1-bedroom/1-bath apartment with full basement and private parking lot, and a tranquil backyard with white picket fence. Ideally located to partake in all that Lititz has to offer… it’s close to parks, library, rail trail, and an easy 15-minute stroll to downtown shops and restaurants.
Built in 1961, the home features a highly-livable layout with a wonderful flow. The first floor showcases a large well-appointed upgraded kitchen with painted white original custom cabinetry, satin nickel cabinet pulls, quartz countertops with undermount sink, tile backsplash, and under-cabinet lighting that still retains its craftsman-style charm. The adjoining large dining room will comfortably host generations for family gatherings and opens up to a grand living room with an expansive picture window (with view of Linden Hall horse pasture across the street), wrap-around brick fireplace, and built-in library bookshelves. Upscale touches in the living and dining rooms include crown molding, custom accent lighting above all windows, and recessed accent lighting for the fireplace and bookshelves. Continuing on the first floor, you’ll find the large primary bedroom with dual closets and private bath, an additional bedroom, a full bath with dual sinks and linen closet, a sizable den with original pine wood paneling and built-in desk, an oversized laundry/mud room, and a walk-in cedar closet. Notable original custom features include a foyer wall clock with doorbell chimes, door jamb light switches that automatically turn on/off the lights in the cedar closet, foyer closet, and primary bedroom room closets, and the laundry room has a laundry chute from the upstairs bathroom integrated into the cabinet next to the washer. The second floor features two nice-sized bedrooms, a full bath, ample closet space, and a large storage room/attic. The one upstairs bedroom has convenient direct access to the full bath, and the other bedroom has an attached bonus room that could be used as a sitting room, an exercise room, a huge walk-in closet, or a 5th bedroom with privacy violation… lots of options. The main basement provides an additional 2,200 sq. ft. of space, divided smartly into 3 different areas, and even has a brick fireplace!
A true breezeway (where there’s always a pleasant breeze!) connects the main house to the garages and apartment. The breezeway includes a 475 sq ft. concrete patio, outside wood stove, and covered walk-way with access to each of the two 2-car garages—one measuring 23’ x 24’ and the other 33’ x 28’ with its own half bath. Both garages share the heat/AC system for the apartment… car enthusiast heaven!
At the end of the 4-car garage complex, you’ll find a beautiful 975 sq. ft. apartment. Fully remodeled in 2010, the 1-bedroom/1-bath apartment was designed with numerous accessibility features such as wider interior doors, lower light switches, walk-in shower, and hard surface flooring throughout. The simple floor plan includes a versatile combined living/dining/kitchen area, one bedroom, a generously-sized bathroom, and a separate laundry room with added storage. Under the apartment, there is a full basement with 10 ft ceilings and separate interior and exterior access. Ideally suited for an in-law’s quarter, in-home business, artist studio, or rental for extra income, the apartment has its own private exterior entrance, 5-car parking lot, and access to the garages.
