262 Richland Rd, Carlisle, PA 17015

Attractive quality well-built custom home inspired by William Poole Designs of Wilmington NC. The front elevation of the home features two front porches, one atop the other in the classic rural PA tradition. Less than four miles from Carlisle, this Dickinson Township home offers openness and privacy. Meticulously maintained, this home rests on just over four and a half acres with panoramic northern views from the second-floor porch. The back of the home is protected by land enrolled in the Cumberland County land preservation program restricting future development. The highly energy efficient 3100+ sq ft of open living space of the home contains an almost 5 ft wide entry hall, formal living room, dining room and first floor family room. The openness of the home is accentuated by the inviting bright, naturally lit kitchen and less formal eating area surrounded by a large quality of surrounding windows on three sides. This allows clear observation of the natural surroundings and abundant wildlife. The wide stairway accesses the second floor wide red oak floor in the almost 5 ft wide hallway and the three carpeted bedrooms, and very large bonus room which has been built above the 2- car oversize garage could be used as the 4th bedroom. Floors on the 1st floor, the wide halls on the 1st and 2nd levels and the second level Master Bedroom bath are covered with solid red oak. All rooms enjoy natural outside light through large windows. Half of the poured wall basement area in the lower level has been finished for relaxation and entertainment. The mechanicals in the lower level include an efficient heat pump, heat pump water heater, water conditioning systems and ample open breaker slots for for future electrical needs. Two rear patios allow a choice for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the rural setting. A hidden outside shed to the back right stores the mower and gardening and tools. The property zoning permits two horses or other animals and the scores of trees have made this lot a bird sanctuary. This turnkey home represents a great value in the local real estate market.
