Property Description
There is truly so much history within the walls of Andersonburg Place, and this is one of those properties you really have to experience to appreciate. Located on approximately 5.38 acres in the heart of Perry County, this historic home has been lovingly and extensively restored while preserving the character and details that make it so special. The owners spent years bringing this property back to life, and what makes the renovation so impressive is everything you don't immediately see. While the home still feels historic, it has been extensively modernized with geothermal heating and cooling, a whole-house swiss ventilation system, updated plumbing and 400 amp electrical, on-demand hot water, and radiant heated floors in the finished lower level. Modern comfort and efficiency were incorporated throughout without taking away the history and charm of the home. Inside you'll find nearly 3,900 square feet above grade, a beautiful chef's kitchen designed for gathering, spacious living and entertaining areas, 4 bedrooms all with ensuite baths, double laundry area, and original and reclaimed historic details throughout. The finished lower level is one of my favorite surprisesa warm and inviting tavern and gathering space with beautiful restored brick floors and radiant heat underneath, making it an incredible place to entertain year-round. And there is history everywhere you look. The property dates back to the 1800s and was once home to the Andersonburg Soldiers' Orphan School following the Civil War. Throughout the restoration, the owners went to great lengths to preserve original features and incorporate historic materials so the story of the property wasn't lost while bringing the home into the modern era. The outside is just as special. Extensive landscaping surrounds the home, and the large fire ring surrounded in stone creates the perfect place to end the day with friends and family. Sit around the fire with a glass of wine, listen to the sounds of the country, or spend the evening stargazing away from the lights, noise and hustle and bustle. This is the kind of property where you can truly slow down and soak in the quiet of the Perry County countryside. A detached building provides additional garage and storage space, while the acreage offers plenty of room to enjoy the property and envision even more for the future. Today, Andersonburg Place is operated as a short-term rental and event/gathering space, opening up so many possibilities for its next owner. Continue its current use, make it an incredible private residence or retreat, or explore something entirely different. The township currently has no zoning ordinance, providing flexibility for a variety of potential uses. There are simply too many detailsand too much historyto capture in a few paragraphs. This isn't an old home that was simply remodeled. It was thoughtfully restored for its next century. Andersonburg Place is ready for its next owner to enjoy everything that has been created here and become the next caretaker of a pretty incredible piece of Perry County history.
