807 Centerville Rd, Lancaster, PA 17601

This truly exceptional, historic home in East Hempfield has been impeccably updated with creative and convenient flourishes throughout. Originally built as a single bedroom home in 1790, it was expanded to three bedrooms in 1810. Entering through the front door, you will be greeted by a unique entranceway. Walls faced in reclaimed lumber are lit by sconces crafted from antique miner's lights. At the end of the wide-planked hallway is a breezeway leading to the cozy summer kitchen, which features exposed beams and an upcycled overhead light fixture. In the back of the summer kitchen, you’ll find a functional workshop, which includes a workbench, a chalkboard wall and storage shelving. The spacious, brightly lit living room has windows on three sides, elegant board & batten wainscoting, a deep brick fireplace, gorgeous 18”-wide pine flooring and hand-crafted copper sconces. Across the hall, you’ll find the dining room, which is the heart of this special home. The included farmhouse table was hand-built to seat ten beneath a constellation of custom pendant lights hung from exposed beams. From here, you’ll enjoy spectacular sunsets over the farmland across the street. You can also access an enchanting half-bath tucked under the stairs. The kitchen was completely renovated in 2020 with custom built, two-tone cabinetry, exquisite soapstone countertops, a penny-tile backsplash and a large farmhouse sink. It’s packed with thoughtful details like soft close hinges and drawer slides, a clever spice rack, pocket doors for concealing a microwave, a large built-in pantry, mail slots, and pull-out trash and recycling bins. More custom cabinetry can be found in the adjoining laundry room, with a hidden drying rack, and plenty of storage, which includes a vintage laundry hamper. The stairs to the second floor are illuminated by more artistic, hand-built lighting, emulating a knob-and-tube style. Turn to the right and you’ll find the ample primary bedroom. The under-eave storage here is augmented by two large upstairs hall closets and an included wardrobe. Two additional cozy second-story bedrooms face out of the front side of the home. The full bath was renovated just this year, with updated flooring, a handsome vanity and new hardware throughout. The large outside balcony is the perfect spot for your morning coffee or an afternoon nap. The hidden gem of the home is the stunning, private outdoor living area—a flagstone patio nestled into the back of the home, hidden by hedges and shaded by a pergola overgrown with verdant trumpet vine. The half-acre property is shaded by a pair of towering silver maples, and features two raised garden boxes, mature landscaping, a large storage shed and plenty of off-street parking in the gravel driveway. With easy access to shopping, major travel routes, and an easily walkable distance to the Centerville Elementary and Middle School campus, this one-of-a-kind property is not to be missed!
