If you've ever strolled along the sidewalks of Old Mooreland, nestled away in Carlilse
PA, then you know just how charming and highly desired this well-manicured
neighborhood is. This stately federal style adorned brick with black ash mortar home,
erected in 1932, is one of the town's outstanding examples of Federal architecture and it
will absolutely capture your attention. The home’s premiere location is just steps away
from the Penn State Dickinson Law College, Dickinson College, Thornwald Park and
downtown area.
You will be pleasantly surprised to discover the treasure of unexpected touches and
amenities that this home has to offer. Through the front door, you'll be greeted by a
grand expansive foyer, complete with original, intact, classic design elements, such as,
columns, thick moldings, barrel ceiling, and hardwood floors. A rare hand carved Robert
Wellford American Mantel featuring a pictorial panel of the Battle of Lake Erie, circa
1815, prominently resides in the Living Room. The formal dining room has twin built-in
China cabinets nestled in the corners, built-in bench seating, and French doors; the
butler pantry features a drop panel ceiling and lavish built-ins; and the kitchen boasts
old-world hand-hewn beams and ceramic tile counter tops, back splash and floor, as well
as an adjoining nook area. There is also a warm den with built-in cabinets and
bookshelves, a roomy enclosed sun room and powder room on the first floor.
Your eyes will be drawn to the many rooms in the house that have also been infused
with original rich wood details, such as wainscoting, patina tongue & groove wood
paneling, and crown molding, lead stained glass windows and transoms, thick plaster
walls, Antique Cast Iron White Porcelain tubs and sinks, subway tiles, and high ceilings.
The second-floor hosts more unexpected features, along with the upstairs warm and
welcoming foyer area with columns, two full bathrooms, and four spacious bedrooms. A
balcony that overlooks the backyard is easily accessible from the master bedroom. The
walk-up finished 3rd floor attic area could serve as an expansive 5th bedroom,
playroom, or office. It also has two ample walk-in storage rooms. The partially finished
stone basement area affords a huge family room, full-sized laundry room with a sink
and shelving, separate utility rooms, root cellar, numerous built-in storage areas, and an
outside access to the back yard.
You’ll love entertaining guests and relaxing in your own backyard oasis. The private
fenced-in rear yard features a newly renovated 16’x32’ 10-foot in-ground concrete
Sylvan pool, fish pond, detached over-sized 2-car garage, adjoining pool house with full
bath and kitchen sink, professional landscaping, hardscaping, pergola, and the original
wooden trellis.
This unique property is designed for living indoors and out. The prominence of this
offering adds to its desirability for buyers, especially those looking to own a piece of
history or those looking for a special home to enjoy time with family and friends and
making their own lasting memories in.
