Step into history with this beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated 1870 Steelton gem, built at the dawn of the Gilded Age. Just minutes from downtown Harrisburg, this unique property blends timeless character with modern convenience. Enjoy off-street parking with a 2-car driveway, a separate garage (alley access), and an additional backyard parking pad. The stunning wraparound front and side porch invites you to relax and take in the charm of this historic neighborhood. The private, fenced-in backyard is an entertainer's dream, featuring a 3.5–10 ft deep in-ground pool with a new aluminum solar cover reel, a raised patio with a newer gazebo/canopy and chimenea, a built-in stone wall bench, and a native perennial flower garden framed by mature honeysuckle-covered fencing. A rare highlight is the hand-built, wood-fired clay bread oven, perfect for rustic outdoor cooking. There's even walkout basement access to the backyard for easy entertaining flow. Inside, this home offers rich character and functional updates: a spacious living room, formal dining room, and library with custom-built bookshelves. The updated galley kitchen includes a double sink, bar sink, and bar counter for added convenience. A newly added first-floor powder room adds modern practicality, while the laundry/mudroom on the back porch provides direct access to the pool and yard. Essential upgrades include a tankless water heater, new water and sewer lines for peace of mind. A joy to own!
