This property features one of the few remaining stone farmhouses in the area! It was placed on the National Register of Historic Sites and is known as the ‘John Todd House” for the person who built the home in 1772. The house, adjacent summer kitchen and reconstructed barn are conveniently located on a quiet township road in East Hanover Township, Dauphin County, on 6.5 acres of trees, fields, gardens, an old orchard and a wildlife pond. Landscaping includes many wonderful native plant species, which attract abundant birds, butterflies and other wildlife to the property. A tasteful frame addition designed by Carol Hickey, Lancaster County architect specializing in historic structures and energy conservation, was added in 1991. The addition incorporates passive solar elements and a bricked area for plants. Much of the original interior of the home is intact. There are four fireplaces in the main house. The addition contains a fifth fireplace and the summer kitchen a sixth. All doors and much of the hardware, floors, chair rails and moldings are original. On the second floor you will find 3 bedrooms, including the master, and a full bath. If you venture to the attic you will find a 4th bedroom (heating and cooling ability) with a half bath and storage space that could be turned into a possible 5th bedroom. Tongue and groove board walls separate all rooms. Considerable attention has been paid to improving the energy efficiency of the house and a state- of- the- art high efficiency propane boiler provides the heat and hot water. The current owners heated the house for five years with a Vermont Castings wood stove. There is plenty of wood on the property to generate fuel for a stove should the new owners desire to utilize wood heat. The adjacent brick summer kitchen is another unique feature of this home. It was previously used as an office that had a waiting room and full bath as well as a loft area. However, it has multiple possibilities to be turned into a home office, guest quarters and possibly elder housing. The barn, built from recycled timbers, was constructed on the foundation of an earlier barn and serves as both garage and equipment storage area. There is also a stall for one horse. There are two established garden areas: one to the east of the house suitable for raised beds and the other south of the barn suitable for raised beds or greenhouse space. Both areas are served by water. An historic smoke house serves as garden shed. There is a conservation easement on the property held by Manada Conservancy and much of the land surrounding the property is owned and protected from development by the Conservancy. Approximately 180 species of birds have been sited on the property along with many amphibians, reptiles, mammals and butterflies. There is so much character that this home offers, it is unlike anything on the market! Schedule your showing today and don't miss out on this unique find!
