    COMING SOON -- This 3BR, 1.5 BA Brick Farmhouse (a.k.a. William Johns Farmhouse) was built in 1872 and is a prominent structure in Colt Park, Gettysburg, PA. Beautifully maintained by the current owners, this home has undergone many updates and has had proper maintenance throughout their ownership. Although it did not witness the Battle of Gettysburg, this home is depicted in the Gettysburg Cyclorama. Perfectly suited as a full-time residence or a weekend retreat, the property includes a 24 x 14 detached office or studio which provides a loft space for additional storage. Imagine having such an artisan studio surrounded by so much history! Poised on a corner lot in Colt Park, the quarter acre property displays a park- like atmosphere while showcasing early American craftsmanship. The home’s beauty and value in architectural history was recognized by the Historic Gettysburg Adams County (HGAC) Preservation Society and awarded the 2019 House Preservation Award. Exterior trim has been recently repainted, and the slate tile roof has been professionally maintained over the years. Wood floors and trim work throughout the home add warmth and character. Kitchen and bathrooms have been updated yet maintain an aesthetic respective to the home. Just a simple walk to the Gettysburg National Military Park, antique shops and the town square. Don’t miss your chance to own a part of South Central Pennsylvania’s history.
