Truly extraordinary property highlighting a complete modernization of this spacious circa 1840 stately, stone home in the middle of Adams County’s picturesque orchard country and just west of historic Gettysburg on almost 3 acres. Known by historians as The James Linn House, built by the Linn family with large field stones from the original farm, you just don’t find homes like this; pre-civil war era construction & charm, luxuriously upgraded with all the modern conveniences, all while preserving the historic integrity that makes this home so special. You’ll love those authentic 24” deep window sills, old-tyme fireplaces, stone accent walls, wood floors and spacious bedrooms. No expense has been spared preserving this showpiece while including a highly-efficient tri-zone geothermal HVAC, custom kitchen with granite counters, plumbing, 200A electric, energy-efficient insulation, standing-seem metal roof, double & triple pane windows, luxurious bathrooms, and so much more. A spacious floor plan provides for a first-floor primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and radiant floor heat; comfortable living spaces to include a parlor, study, family & recreation rooms; open country kitchen with island and dining area; three upstairs bedrooms. Outside is a rear paver patio, front porch with paver walkway, the old produce packing building (now a workshop) and the original stone spring house. If you want space for the vehicles, the integral 2-car over-sized garage is completely finished and absolutely pristine! Then there is a large 28’x28’ detached 2-bay garage with high ceilings, 10’ overhead doors and plenty of space to work…and an optional car lift for the auto-enthusiast. Come and enjoy this 19th-century masterpiece in the beautiful rolling hills of orchard country and conveniently located with an easy drive to the Baltimore and DC metro areas.
