Property Description
Location, location, location! If you're looking for your new Gettysburg address, this could be it! Located on the east end of historic Gettysburg Borough, 257 East Middle Street offers a truly special setting, backing directly to Gettysburg National Military Park and just a few doors down from the historic Henry Culp Farm on National Park Service land. This is what living in Gettysburg is all about step out your back door for a walk on the Battlefield, or simply relax on your rear patio and enjoy the scenic vista beyond your own backyard. Dating to the 1890s, this lovely 2,264 Sq.Ft. brick Colonial Revival blends historic character with a thoughtfully designed first-floor primary suite addition with vaulted ceilings/battlefield views/walk-in closet/full bath with walk-in shower and laundry room. The home offers three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, along with wood floors believed to remain beneath much of the carpeting. The home features a spacious kitchen with center island, wonderful family room with a wood-burning fireplace and built-ins, and expansive dining room for gatherings not to mention the inviting covered front porch and front yard with stone wall which adds to the home's classic Gettysburg charm. Outside, enjoy the rear patio and picturesque setting, along with a detached one-car garage featuring workshop space and a separate storage shed. Lovingly cared for many years, the home has benefited from several important updates, including a new roof in 2019, water heater in 2020, and a newer boiler. Additional amenities include central air conditioning and 200-amp electrical service. And the location is hard to beat! Not only is the Gettysburg National Military Park literally in your backyard, but you're also within walking distance of the elementary and middle schools, tennis courts, playgrounds, and all the shops, restaurants, history, and activity of downtown Gettysburg. Historic character, a Battlefield setting, and the convenience of Borough living come together in one very special Gettysburg home!
