Description

Welcome to 97 Zartman’s Mill, a beautifully restored colonial home nestled in the country near Speedwell Forge Lake, just outside the charming town of Lititz, PA. This exquisite property seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary comforts, making it a true gem for today’s discerning homeowner. With 4 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, this home offers plenty of space for family and guests. This home used to be the inn that welcomed millworkers for a home-cooked meal and good night's rest - now that sense of home and relaxation can be yours! As you step inside, you’ll be greeted by elegant period details, from the original hardwood floors and exposed beams, to the intricately crafted moldings and re-pointed brick. The entire home is filled with natural light from the 1 ¼ inch Williamsburg replica windows with handmade lighting and custom window coverings. The downstairs includes a large mudroom and two main rooms, one of which includes a newer wood-burning fireplace with a period mantle. Either room could be used for living space or dining room. The downstairs bathroom has room for a potential additional shower if desired. The gourmet eat-in kitchen is perfect for an intimate meal or entertaining guests. It boasts Shaker Shoppe custom cabinets, an AGA induction-top range, sleek Corian countertops, and a bespoke, hand-carved soapstone sink. A built-in tin-front pantry and appliance bay offer additional storage. Upstairs, the master bedroom is a private retreat. Two additional bedrooms offer a spacious retreat with ample light and closet space. Please note that the fourth bedroom has a privacy violation for accessing the master, but would also be perfect for an office, nursery, or walk-through closet. The upstairs also hosts a laundry room and a full bathroom, which features natural slate tiles on the floor and a shower with multiple settings and a heat lamp, and a luxurious clawfoot soaking tub. Outside, the meticulously maintained 1.5-acre yard invites you to relax and enjoy the serene surroundings and watch the creek roll by. You can sit out front and watch the goats and mini horses play across the street. The barn shed with a copper cupola and 1800's era original schoolhouse bell are sure to be talking points, and the plaque on the custom copper mailbox is empty, just waiting for your name to be added! This home has fully updated plumbing and electricity installed in 2008, and sump pumps with back-up power units. Two HVAC units located in the attic and basement offer two zones for heating/cooling, and were installed in 2008. A new oil tank and furnace were installed in 2011. New roof was put on in 2019. Well and septic system were installed in 2020, and septic was last serviced 2024. A like-new zero-turn lawn mower is included in sale if desired. Located just moments from the heart of Lititz, you’ll enjoy easy access to local shops, dining, and parks, all while basking in the tranquility of your private oasis.
