Property Description
Welcome to Beaver Manor an historic stone 18+ room mansion with its more humble beginning structure built in 1766, rebuilt with addition in 1859 and again, rebuilt with addition in 1928 with 3.02 acres. It is located in Lower Paxton Township in the suburbs of Harrisburg, PA (9 miles from Harrisburg, 9 miles from Hershey, 12 miles to Harrisburg International Airport, 2 hours from Philly, 3 hours from NYC & 2.5 hours to DC. Built along the Beaver Creek, this property is unlike any other property currently on the market. The craftsmanship, design, materials & stewardship of the previous 6 families that owned the property since 1766 to present have resulted in what it is today. It has stunning features & updates that have made it modern yet retained attention to detail & craftsmanship of years ago. Every room in the home has a story to tell & a feature that is outstanding. 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms/ 2 half baths, a truly Great Room with stone floors/ post & beams, 4 fireplaces & a basement with a new French drain system making it ready for the next owner to focus on that area to finish up with new flooring & paint. The best feature in the Lower Level area is at ground level, & has full windows, exit doors on all sides, special built-in features, stained glass & a room so large that it is what todays buyers want for their gaming room along w/other rooms that could be an exercise room, workshop & more w/ the nearly 1700 sq feet of additional finish space. The half bath in the LL is a bonus. To summarize how unique this property is: there are 3 staircases to the 2nd floor, 3 staircases to the lower level, 13 exit doors (most are) solid wood, slate roofs maintained and valleys replace/ rubber roofs/copper roofs, copper gutters, stone gazebo, NEW over-sized 3 car detached garage, outside entertaining spaces, 3 cedar closets, 3 bathrooms/ 2 powder rooms, amazing opportunity to improve the space on the ground level of the home. Gas heat/ gas hot water heater, updated whole house reverse osmosis water treatment system, sewer line to street updated, French drains & sump pumps on the north & west end of the home. Locking security screen doors were also added. 28 Replacement of windows: breakfast room, south side of vaulted family room & all of the 2nd floor. The custom designed gourmet kitchen was update by the sellers w/such care & attention to details that included beamed ceilings and a redesign of the private primary west wing suite access stairs to the 2nd floor where it features a primary suite bathroom and dressing room. This major update has blended in with the original design of the home so that any chef would love working in this space. The recessed & under counter lighting in the kitchen is nothing less that stunning. The granite counter tops encompasses a peninsula w/space for several counter height seating to allow the separation of kitchen visitors from the cook. The stainless steel appliances, wood cover refrigerator/ dishwasher & farm sink are perfect for todays style & tile floor is heated, so waking up to warm floors in the winter is truly a wonderful 1920s feature of home throughout the main floor. The Breakfast room with its beamed ceiling & stained glass has a panoramic view. The Great Room is breathtaking & vaulted to 25 ft in height w/5ft wide wrap around balcony. The post & beam design is amazing w/ hickory wainscoting on both levels of this room w/stone flooring, built-ins w/ a massive stone fireplace. 3rd floor has 2 adorable bedrooms & bath. This home was meant for entertaining & raising a family w/ memories that will last a lifetime. Beaver Manor has not only found itself looking for a new owner, but, sellers are looking for stewards to care for its future. You could be that 7th family to own of this historical estate to pass on to the next generation. It is priced to sell & the owners are selling it as it stands in all of its glory.
