Discussing A Restored Farmhouse In Lititz - Lancaster PA Luxury Home

Here in Lancaster County PA there's no shortage of farmhouses, and some are always reaching their last days before being removed in favor of new buildings or uses. This home, in Manheim Township with a Lititz address at 20 Regency Court, was one of those looking the wrecking ball square in the eye...

Today, this amazing property has been immaculately restored with loving care, and is a testament to the dedication of it's owners who have not only brought the grand old house back to life but improved the grounds to the point where a visitor feels as though they are walking through a botanical garden.

The home itself begain life in the 1700's (1600's?) as a smaller farmhouse overlooking a large property. Gradually, as many functional homes are, it was expanded to be a large estate home (the owner found inscriptions from the Civil War in the home noting additions made!). But by the mid 20th century the home was beyond it's useful life and the farm was purchased by a developer for what was to become the Kings Pointe neighborhood of newer homes. The old farmhouse had little time left.

Enter the current owners, who brought the old place back to vivid life using original materials and decor while adding new features such as the 25 foot wide grand foyer with 10 foot staircase. Wood floors were remilled and put back in place, deep window wells were restored and the cedar shake roof replaced with a modern cedar covering. This home shows as a textbook case on how to bring a big old house back to life.
