Listing description

Welcome to 1222 Hillcrest Road! This stunning mid-century split level sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. While just minutes from major roadways, the serene setting will have you feeling worlds away from the hustle and bustle. The 22 year owner's meticulous maintenance is evident from the moment you arrive and are greeted by the carefully curated landscaping. Exquisite stonework covers every side of the home, continuing with an impressive wall, that separates the expansive driveway from the backyard. Lighted walkways lead you around back to the spacious deck, perfectly suited to host large gatherings. Stepping inside you are immediately welcomed by the breathtaking Four Seasons room. Imagine enjoying your morning coffee in a sun drenched space that feels akin to a botanical garden. Perfectly peaceful, private & surrounded by nature in the comfort of your home. This room flows seamlessly to the kitchen, complete with ample storage space and a custom pantry cabinet. The formal living room can only be described as stately; anchored by the striking stone fireplace and bay window. The upper level boasts three incredibly spacious bedrooms and two custom designed full bathrooms. The lower level is teeming with potential, featuring a daylight walkout room with high ceilings just waiting to be finished! Expansive lower level storage space is also available, along with multiple points of egress. Roof, A/C unit & water heater that have been replaced within the last two years only add to the peace of mind. This truly is a one-of-a-kind property, with careful attention to detail paid in every regard and construction quality that is not often matched. Don't miss it!

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $222,500, well below the ~$312,500 its asking price implies at Lancaster County's common level ratio (50.0%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $2,088/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($222,500, 2018 base year) × current millage. 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. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Lancaster County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. 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.
