Listing description

An Exceptional Lincoln Heights Estate — Timeless Character, Unparalleled Setting & Original Ownership. Rarely does a property of this character, scale, and setting become available in highly sought-after Lincoln Heights. Lovingly owned and meticulously maintained by its original owners, this extraordinary all-stone Cape Cod is a truly one-of-a-kind residence, offering a remarkable blend of timeless craftsmanship, distinctive architectural details, spacious living areas, and an exceptional level one-acre setting. From the moment you arrive, the home makes a lasting impression. A wrap-around driveway welcomes you to the property, providing an abundance of parking and leading to an oversized two-car garage with a walk-out attic offering tremendous additional storage. Mature landscaping and established surroundings create a sense of privacy and permanence rarely found in such a desirable neighborhood. Inside, approximately 3,313 square feet of above-grade finished living space unfolds with warmth and elegance. An inviting foyer introduces the home’s unmistakable character, with custom built-ins and thoughtful details throughout. The sunken living room is a true centerpiece, featuring expansive bay windows that fills the room with natural light and a beautiful wood-burning fireplace that creates an inviting atmosphere for intimate evenings or memorable gatherings. The spacious formal dining room offers the perfect setting for entertaining and showcases a distinctive built-in cabinet, while the generously sized eat-in kitchen provides abundant cabinetry and plenty of space for everyday meals and casual gatherings. A versatile first-floor office or second living room provides valuable additional living space and can easily be tailored to suit a variety of needs from a private home office or study to a quiet sitting room, library or additional gathering space. The residence offers four generously sized bedrooms and four bathrooms, providing flexibility and comfort for family and guests. Throughout the home, you'll find an abundance of built-in storage, closets, and unique architectural touches that reflect the quality and craftsmanship of a home designed to be enjoyed for generations. The finished lower level provides an exceptional extension of the home's living and entertaining space. A wet bar, second wood-burning fireplace, extensive storage, and exterior stairwell create an ideal environment for entertaining, relaxing, hosting guests, or enjoying game nights and gatherings with family and friends. Outdoor living is every bit as compelling. The expansive, level one-acre grounds offer room to relax, play, entertain, and create lasting memories. Multiple outdoor gathering spaces; including a covered patio and balcony, provide wonderful options for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation, or evening entertaining. Mature landscaping adds beauty and character while creating a peaceful backdrop for this exceptional home. Comfort has not been overlooked, with two-zone heating and central air serving both levels of the residence. This is more than a house, it is a rare opportunity to own a cherished Lincoln Heights property that has been exceptionally cared for by the same owners since the beginning. With its all-stone construction, remarkable character, expansive living spaces, finished lower level, extraordinary storage, and beautiful one-acre setting, this is the kind of property that becomes increasingly difficult to find. Within walking distance to the Ephrata schools, rec center, sports fields and playgrounds this is a special home in a truly special neighborhood and an opportunity not to be missed.

School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall.

The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
