641 Lorraine Ave, Manheim, PA 17545

🏡 Welcome to 641 Lorraine Avenue—a meticulously renovated home in a quiet neighborhood that invites you to relax and create memories.   In 2020, the owners began their journey to give the well-built house a complete makeover! Throughout the home, lighting, outlets, and switches were added and updated, the original carpet and vinyl flooring were replaced with beautiful laminate and LVT, and every surface in the house received a fresh coat of paint.  Additionally, nearly every light has been fitted with energy saving LED bulbs 💡.   Walls separating the kitchen, dining, and living rooms were removed to create an open concept space that is well equipped for entertaining. A kitchen island with seating was ingeniously built to incorporate the HVAC, central vac, and electrical components. Other kitchen upgrades include quartz countertops, tile backsplash, an oversized sink, a sleek faucet with a built-in jet sprayer, and a new microwave and dishwasher. Custom picture ledge shelves were added to the living room, and a mantle was incorporated to enhance the electric fireplace surround.   The home boasts 4 generously sized bedrooms, including two with attached bathrooms. The thoughtful layout provides the option to use the lower level as an in-law suite, complete with its separate living space, bedroom, and bathroom. Storage is abundant throughout the home, including a deep closet under the stairs and an oversized 2-car garage.   The bathrooms received new toilets with slow close lids, upgraded fans with timer switches, and some new fixtures. The cast-iron tub upstairs was enhanced with fresh tiling and an extra-tall, curved shower curtain for added comfort and a sophisticated aesthetic. Downstairs, the shower was transformed to include a new stall with ample shelf space, sliding doors, and double shower heads. You can share one with a partner or indulge in both yourself!   Along with beautifying the home, the owners have also taken care to address important maintenance tasks, including the removal of a dead tree, remediation of a minor shower leak, repairs to the garage door motor, and addressing minor dry rot around the front and garage doors. The flexible dryer vent was replaced with rigid ducting for improved efficiency and enhanced fire prevention. Gutters and downspouts were replaced for improved functionality. A wired video doorbell enhances security at the front entrance, and privacy film was added to the downstairs windows. Routine, preventative maintenance visits from a pest control company have also kept the home safe from tiny intruders.   Outside, a concrete patio offers outdoor living space, complemented by a brick surround. The presence of mature evergreen trees along the back of the property and strategic landscaping give the home a private, secluded feel. Beautiful birds fill the air with their songs and playful squirrels provide peaceful entertainment.   In summary, 641 Lorraine Avenue offers a blend of practicality and modern comfort, thanks to the owners' meticulous attention to detail and thoughtful design choices. The blood, sweat, tears and 💸 poured into this home is evident in the Before & After photos! Who will be the lucky new owner to reap the benefits of meticulous updates and stylish taste?
