BACK ON THE MARKET!!! Welcome home to your oasis! This stunning historic brick Georgian “Double Pile” style farmhouse built in 1802 is quaintly nestled on just under one acre of land within the Country Club Park neighborhood in Hampden Township, Cumberland Valley SD. Imagine owning a home with all the original character of a stately farmhouse typically found in the sprawling rural landscapes far from town but instead, gently tucked away just a few minutes’ drive from of all the modern amenities you require.
This property, originally owned by John Penn in 1765, as part of a much bigger plot of land, is as unique as they come beginning with the 3,821 square foot, 5 bedroom, 2 and a half bath farmhouse. The home was first restored and renovated in 1976. An addition was also added to the rear of the home at this time. Some current features of the home include wide pine plank flooring and exposed wood beams throughout most of the home, fresh paint inside and to the rear exterior of the home, two separate heating and air conditioning systems, gas furnace and A/C on the 1st floor and heat pump on the second floor, both new as of 2019. The formal dining room, living room, parlor, and additional family room are all equipped with a fireplace (5 total within the home). Next, you’ll find an incredible and spacious kitchen area. The space lends itself well for entertaining or just keeping the family close while dinner is being prepared. The kitchen boasts cherry cabinets, center island with cooktop range, quartz countertops, breakfast bar and additional sitting area or space for an “eat-in kitchen” style set up with cable hookup on the wall. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dedicated laundry area/mud room with plenty of cabinet space and a powder room.
The second floor continues to impress with 5 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The 5th bedroom could be used as a large dressing room adjacent to the primary bedroom and bathroom. The recently renovated primary bathroom is simply breathtaking! It’s quite spacious and features new LVP flooring, a gorgeous tile shower, recessed lighting, a unique treated wood-top vanity, walk-in closet, and linen closet. Finally let’s not forget the one-of-a-kind basement area featuring a brick floor and exposed wood beams & ceiling. Plenty of room for your wine cellar, poker/game room or any other use you may desire.
Outside the story continues with a large private rear brick patio and side patio with porch swing. I’m sure you’ll find many uses for the oversized brick 2 story, 2 car heated garage with workshop area, fireplace (that makes 6!!) storage space and loft. Next, on the other side of this 0.94 +/- acre tastefully landscaped, tree lined lot you encounter another unique feature of this property. A truly peaceful setting created by a shaded gazebo overlooking a natural cold spring brick lined pond with an attached brick patio and firepit. Grab your favorite beverage and a good book or meet your favorite companion here to relax, unwind and let the days worries melt away. We hope you enjoy this home.
