BETTER THAN MOVE IN READY. From the moment you walk in the front door you will notice the difference. This was the Deluxe Finch Model home build by Garman Builders as their parade home and offers loads of upgrades. There are so many features that make this property the Home of your Dreams. This home offers 3 bedrooms which includes an ensuite bedroom & bath, loft area (currently being used as an office) 2 full baths on the 2nd floor. You will love the gorgeous fireplace in the vaulted ceiling family room, formal dining room, open inviting kitchen with a breakfast nook, abundant natural light, hardwood floors plus laundry on the 1st floor. You will experience an Outdoor Paradise with the expanded two level deck, covered by canvas awnings PLUS a large paver patio with a knee wall on the ground level. The list goes on and includes a 2 year young HVAC & Water Heater. IT GETS EVEN BETTER! The owned Solar Panels generate an electric invoice of approximately $16 per month as a delivery charge. The invoice from June to July this year was $15.07 (During the heat wave that was experienced at that time) The basement is a daylight walk out, ready for you to finish with your touches. Enjoy the walking path and the park if you can tear yourself away from this dream home.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($270,900, 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.
