Whether you’re looking for a historic farm home or second home as a personal retreat, “Slate Run Farm” is a rare opportunity to envelop yourself in over 13 acres of privacy. Found on the original York County Census of 1780 (the very 1st U.S. Census), this charming stone cape cod was once used in the Civil War and later purchased as a getaway for owners and employees of a York shoe factory. The main house was renovated in 1978 while maintaining much of its historic character and features. Your private driveway leads to an unveiling of nature and “off-the-grid” living while providing convenient access to major markets for work, shopping and dining out. As you approach the main house, you’ll find a fabulous, two-story wrap around screened porch for taking in the views, whether it be the lush forestry, winding stream, pond or various wildlife. Entering the home through one of two Dutch doors, a charming kitchen with adjacent living-dining room greets you with rustic hardwood floors, stone walls, exposed beams and artistic Vermont Casting wood stove surrounded by matching stone. A full bath completes the main level. On the 2nd floor, you’ll find a cozy den with second wood fireplace to use as a play, office or reading area. The space branches into two comfortable bedrooms decorated in simulated horsehair plaster. A spacious primary 3rd bedroom awaits on the top floor with cathedral ceiling, hardwood floors and full closet cloaked behind antique shutters. A second full bath and 3rd propane fireplace completes the suite. Across from the main house, enjoy the benefits of a second house called, “The Cottage House,” built in 1978. This separately metered living space is built above a two-car garage and the laundry area. Upstairs you’ll find two bedrooms, small kitchen and combination living-dining room. Renovate the space for personal use, open an Airbnb or keep as a rental. Other features include tankless water system and direct propane line to your grill. Lush forestry surrounds a large open space for entertaining, storage or even that pole barn you’ve been dreaming of building. Five miles from I-83 for quick access to Maryland and 98 miles from center-city Washington D.C. Schedule your tour ASAP before this “propertunity” passes!
