Listing description

Welcome to 1353 Hilltop Road, where a complete renovation meets an exceptional and secluded 3.8-acre setting in Lancaster County. Thoughtfully remodeled from top to bottom with no shortcuts taken, this 5-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 2,814 square feet of living space, along with additional rooms that provide flexibility for an office, hobbies, storage, or other uses. The renovation is highlighted by beautiful brand-new maple kitchen cabinetry, a new staircase, new flooring throughout, fresh paint, and updated bathrooms, creating a move-in-ready interior while maintaining the unique character of the property. Open spaces and high ceilings add to the sense of scale throughout the home, while its unique hillside design and solid concrete construction provide a substantial foundation and distinctive layout. Built into the hill with efficiency in mind, the home's design works together with a geothermal heating and cooling system to help reduce utility costs and provide year-round comfort. Outside is where 1353 Hilltop truly separates itself—nearly four secluded acres surround the home, highlighted by a picturesque pond near the front entrance that creates a memorable setting upon arrival. In addition to the attached garage, the property features a large detached pole barn/garage, providing exceptional space for vehicles, equipment, storage, hobbies, or a workshop. With extensive renovations already completed, energy-conscious systems, substantial additional storage and workspace, and a private setting that is difficult to replicate, 1353 Hilltop Road offers a unique opportunity to enjoy acreage, versatility, and peaceful Lancaster County living.

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.
