231 Frederick St, Hanover, PA 17331

Cosmopolitan charm is yours in this ageless, historical home. You can stroll 3 blocks down the tree-lined street and be right in Hanover Square and all the fun! Recognized as a pre-civil war building by the Hanover Area Historical Society it is significant as the home of Daniel Trone. a man who was instrumental in getting Civil War battle news to New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, by telegraph. He built this home in 1830, he lived at 233 and his brother in 231. Back then this home was on the very end of the town. The front door opens into the reception hall giving access to all the major rooms of the home. Sunlight pours in from all the other rooms through wide doorways and big windows. It is light and airy showcasing 9 ft ceilings, gleaming hardwood, substantial trim work, and the homes~ front staircase. To the right of the hall is the front parlor, enhanced by thick wedding cake casings and moldings, gleaming hardwood, closed-off fireplace & mantel. Next is the back parlor, perfect for kicking back in a more a casual style. Dine in style in this enormous dining room with the super cool lighting, built-in wine rack, closed fireplace & mantel. Finished dinner? Step out to the side porch or patio for after dinner coffee? The side porch also has its own separate entrance, so it can be used for business purposes and not affect your household (it is already zoned too ~ see attached zoning documents for initial guidelines). Side porch features built-in bookcases. Stainless steel and country charm mix perfectly in this warm and inviting kitchen. Stainless oven/range and hood stand out as the center for all your cooking, everything is within reach. Over the sink is a greenhouse window ~ grow your own herbs for cooking year-round right in your own kitchen. One of the coolest features in my mind is the true WALK-IN pantry, lined with shelves, drawers, storage, and room to move! The peninsula is set for seating ~ grab a quick lunch or entertain guests while you cook. Easy access to the patio ~ walk out for a private cup of coffee in the morning, throw a steak on the grill in the evening. And of course, the kitchen features the mainstay of any colonial period elegant home ~ the second staircase. The second floor continues the tradition of craftsmanship ~ but I do need to warn you that one of the bedrooms is a walk through to the others and best used as a sitting room, office, playroom, or den ~ right? This middle room also has access to the 2nd fl balcony. The Owners Suite has the amenities you want today in your life. Fitted for comfort the owners added wall to wall carpet over the original hardwood & a ceiling fan, but kept the chair rail pegboard, solid wood doors & fixtures. You will get to enjoy an enormous walk-in closet, light and airy bedroom, and a slightly more modern bath. The family hall bath retains the classic features with a claw foot tub, traditional black/white tile, beadboard and vintage style faucets and fixtures. All the perks of living 3 blocks from the square and all the action you can walk to anytime you want. At the same time, you have a beautiful, level, lush, private, tranquil backyard, and patio to enjoy summer evenings in peace & quiet. The patio off the kitchen is magical with trellis, sunshade & flowers galore. The yard is fenced, to the rear is a fully functioning 2 car garage.
