Property Description

Timeless Prairie Style Home | Circa 1919
Step into a piece of architectural history with this stunning Prairie Style home, built circa 1919 and thoughtfully maintained to preserve its original character while offering modern comfort. With 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and elegant period details throughout, this home offers warmth, functionality, and timeless design.
Classic Prairie features — low-pitched rooflines, wide eaves, horizontal lines, and grouped windows — define the exterior, while inside, you'll find generous living spaces filled with natural light, original hardwood floors, and vintage charm.
The main floor living and dining areas are anchored by a striking fireplace and period built-ins, while the updated kitchen blends seamlessly with the home's character, offering modern amenities with a timeless aesthetic. The finished lower level includes its own kitchenette, bathroom, and separate entrance — ideal for multi-generational living or guest quarters.
A standout feature is the detached garage with a beautifully finished loft space, ideal for a home office, artist's studio, guest retreat, or music room — a true bonus for today's flexible lifestyle needs.
Nestled on a bamboo-fenced, level lot in the heart of downtown Mechanicsburg, this home offers privacy yet is just steps from schools, local shops, dining, and community events. This one-of-a-kind home is perfect for those who appreciate design, craftsmanship, and character. Rarely does a property like this come to market. Don't miss your chance to own this rare blend of history, versatility, and location. House will be sold As-is due to numerous updates!
