280 BOB WHITE TRAIL

FAYETTEVILLE, PA17222

Set on 1.6 wooded acres along a quiet ridge, reached by a peaceful camp and conference grounds, only 6 miles from I -81and 14 miles to Gettysburg. Approach by a long circular drive way, you will discover a home of rare mindfulness and top quality. Inside, oversized casement windows frame treetop views from every room. Ten foot ceiling in soft sky blue, generous recessed lighting and warm hickory floors give the open main level an airy, welcoming feeling. The gracious and large kitchen, baths and upper berth showcase all custom cabinetry by local craftsman Daniel Benedict, accented by a reclaimed barnwood sliding door for the pantry closet Two large glass entry doors bookend the home, front and back, flooding it with natural light. The main floor primary ensuite is a retreat of its own: pickled pine ceiling, twin barndoor closets, a large tiled walk-in shower (no glass doors to clean) and stacked washer/dryer, linen cabinet. Gorgeous, rich walnut stairs lead to the showstopper- the entire second floor is one light -filled loft/retreat beneath a soaring vaulted wood ceiling, finished in the same soft sky blue and brightened by skylights. Six built-in beds are tucked into the eves, each with its own drawers, shelving and reading sconce, while a central sitting area makes the space as much as lounge and hangout as a place to sleep. Comfortable sleeping for a large group of family or good friends. Two full baths serve this level; one with a stack washer/dryer for guests. Outside, a back deck under a striking copper overhang overlooks beautifully landscaped grounds with a firepit and plenty of open level space- room for an event tent, gatherings of a large group, a large vegetable or flower garden, volleyball or a pool. Notice the detail of capping the custom cedar shutters with copper! The oversized, fully insulated two car garage is topped by a glass cupola and copper peacock. This is a flexible space that adapts to whatever you need: home gym, workshop, studio, rec room -plus a floored attic above for effortless storage. A 6ft crawl space houses the electric panel. tankless water heater and reverse osmosis system. Over the years, this home owner has built several houses- raised families in them and hosted gatherings both intimate and grand. That taught her how a home should truly work- for everyday living for a family or for welcoming a large group. No detail has been missed on this one as she designed it from the ground up from her experiences of building homes for her family through her lifetime. With three full baths plus a convenient half bath, the home lives as easily for a crowd as it does for two. Surrounded by the best of the area: Appalachian Trail, Caledonia State Park (short trails, renowned summer Totem Pole Playhouse, swimming pool), two 18 hole Penn National golf courses and their Black Oak Grill, Long Pine Dam reservoir for kayaking and hiking, Michaux X-C trails- all with no city traffic to fight! You might even purchase it for an Airbnb when not using as your private week-end getaway while still working and consider it for your future retirement home of pure serenity and peace. Or three or four friends or family members make it a time share, put into a trust. This is just such a special property!!! Think outside the box!
