Welcome to 11 Ford Rd in Little Britain Township in Lancaster County. Located within an easy commute to locations in Pennsylvania, Maryland, & Delaware, this is the ideal location for animal lovers and nature buffs.
Surrounded by Amish farms, you will measure your time by the changing colors of the landscape and the fields. The front porch is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view. The original section of the home dates back to the 1800’s and has been updated.
As you enter, take note of the newer two story addition built in 1989 that added lots more space including a great room, study, and master bedroom. One of the big plusses was the addition of two fireplaces, one in the great room and the other in the master bedroom.
The great room is spacious with gleaming hardwood floors added in 2004, a coat closet with light, and beams that add to the country ambience. Any time you have a fire, you can utilize the Heatolaters and fans in both fireplaces for more energy efficiency.
The study is very large and would be considered a bedroom if it had a closet. Not hard to add. Step down from the great room into the cozy den or family room perfect for reading a book or watching television.
Step into the oldest section of the home that dates back to the 1800’s. The owners are currently using this as a dining room. It is in good condition with the walls refinished in 1989 as well as the original hardwood flooring. A custom made iron spiral staircase with oak treads leads to the second floor.
Next, step in to the kitchen that features custom cabinetry, Formica counter tops, one piece linoleum flooring, and a breakfast area. The kitchen is made brighter by the two skylights that can be opened and three ceiling fans that help to cool or warm the room.
Lots of electrical outlets, under-counter lighting, and phone and cable jacks plus a desk work space help add convenience to the kitchen work area. The kitchen is perfect for food preparation, quick meals, and relaxing with family and friends. The breakfast area has a view of the pool area and deck which can be accessed through a sliding door.
The overall charm of this home is enhanced by the cosmetic wood beams. Just off the kitchen is the laundry room that is large enough to also work as a tack room. Lots of storage is available in this room.
Your family or guests will love the additional bedrooms located on the second floor. All have good closet space and two have unique floor plans that your children or friends will think are great fun. A hall area is large enough to allow for a desk and computer space freeing up space in the bedrooms. Both hall baths are located for easy use by the bedrooms. There are two attic spaces for storage both with pull down ladders.
The second story sleeping areas can be accessed by two stairways, the spiral staircase and the hardwood stenciled stairway. The master bedroom is a wonderful space for sleeping but the fireplace will add an element of romance and charm. A roomy walk in closet is a big plus in an older home and you will not be disappointed by the space. Extra high hat lighting was included in the plans for the master bedroom making it a bright comfy place.
Another big plus is the access door directly in to one of the two bathrooms located on the second floor and this bath features a double sink. Linen closets are located in both the master bath and hall. In 2005, the owners installed ceramic tile in all the bathrooms including the powder room.
