Welcome to a truly special piece of Mount Joy history! This beautifully updated Colonial farmhouse is believed to be the second-oldest home in Mount Joy, offering a rare combination of historic character, timeless charm, and modern convenience. Nestled in desirable West Hempfield Township and located directly adjacent to Farmdale Elementary… Read More School, this property offers a lifestyle that is hard to find. Imagine being able to walk your kids to school through your own backyard while still enjoying the space of a country-style property. And when it's time to head out, you're just 5 minutes from both Route 30 and Route 283, making commuting and getting around the area incredibly convenient. The home retains the character and charm you would expect from an older farmhouse while benefiting from thoughtful modern updates. All appliances are less than a year old, while major improvements include a finished attic in 2019, new roof in 2021, mini-split heating and cooling installed in 2022, finished office in 2023, new high-efficiency boiler in 2025, and new gutters and laundry room completed in 2026. Outside, the property truly shines. The huge backyard provides plenty of room for entertaining, gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Two barns add tremendous versatility and storage, offering space for hobbies, a workshop, equipment, or whatever your needs may be. Homes with this combination of history, character, land, outbuildings, modern updates, and convenient access rarely come available. If you've been looking for an authentic old farmhouse with a story to tell - without giving up today's comforts - this one deserves a closer look. Read Less
