Built in 1968, this two-acre estate-style home is tucked away in the suburbs of Dauphin County.

The perfect explanation is hidden. A natural evergreen privacy hedge surrounds most of the property, and a dense forest mass near neighboring Paxton Creek provides privacy and solitude.

An imposing stone wall at the front of the property, with a wrought iron gate at each entrance to the circular driveway, enhances the estate feel of the home.

The home is just a mile from Linglestown Road, home to a growing number of restaurants, grocery stores and other retail establishments.

Access to major highways is just five miles from the property, making it easy to get to Harrisburg or beyond.

The house has a unique touch of style with its design. A semi-loft-style roof hangs low. This steeply inclined part serves as the siding of the “hidden” second floor of the house. Large outward-facing windows with skylight-type cutouts in the roof let in plenty of natural light. The modernized mansard roof has a flat top and a sloping facade.

This type of roof effectively turns unused attic space into extra living space.

The exposed first-floor height of the house extends to the piers that support the large rear and side courtyard-covered veranda, which is made of stone not only at the front but also around the entire perimeter.

Matching stone was used on the wall at the front of the property, near the entrance. The same stone was used to create a 2/3 perimeter wall around the in-ground pool and even the stairs leading to the guesthouse.

A large terrace starts in the middle of the back of the house and extends to one side, providing more entertainment and relaxation opportunities.

The garden of this house is ready to have fun, entertain and even host guests with its pool, pool house and guesthouse.

Both the pool house and guesthouse feature kitchenettes, bedrooms, and full bathrooms, ensuring maximum comfort without having to walk from the courtyard downstairs.

Speaking of downstairs, this area of ​​the massive 9,760-square-foot home (including the lower level) is a fun powerhouse/man cave haven.

It all starts with a billiard room with the warmth of wooden floors, warm yellow walls, a large light fixture above the pool table, and doors and windows to see outside.

There is another room on the side of the room, this room contains the sauna room. At the end of the hallway is a full bathroom with stone walls that match the home’s exterior.

A short flight of stairs leads from the billiard room to a stone arched entrance to the family room. This room features a fully equipped kitchen and fireplace; Both are surrounded by the same stone that matches the exterior of the house. This room also has two doors that open to the large, covered back porch.

When you leave this room and pass through a second stone arch, you enter a room that has the atmosphere of the 1960s with wooden panels covering all the walls. This room has large wall-mounted mirrors and could be an exercise/exercise room. This room also has a door that opens to the covered rear patio.

As you move towards the main living area of ​​the house, a surprisingly high 20-foot ceiling greets you upon entering the generous foyer of the house.

The foyer is divided into four directions. Go left and up a short flight of stairs and you’re thrust into a huge living room with 20-foot ceilings, a sliding door that opens to the expansive deck, a fireplace, and a wet bar.

PennLive published a story about the house in 2016 While for sale from the previous owner.

Double doors at the front of the room open dramatically into a sunroom with tiled floors, walls of windows and double-height ceilings.

Looking at the front of the house, this would be the left wing of the house.

Moving towards the central part of the foyer, you pass through ornate double doors into the dining room, which has a fireplace at one end, skylights, sliding doors that open to the deck, and a dramatic chandelier hanging above the table. The chandelier once belonged to a temple in downtown Harrisburg, its previous owners said.

This room opens into the kitchen, which has matching high ceilings, except those marked by exposed wood beams and beams.

Returning to the foyer and the right side of the house, we reach the bedroom wing of the house with a short flight of stairs.

High ceilings continue in this part of the house. A corridor connects the bedrooms and bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms share a very impressive Jack and Jill bathroom.

Different doesn’t quite describe this bathroom. The bathtub is made entirely of tile and is recessed into the floor by about a meter so that the bather is at roughly eye level with the floor. The tub’s hot and cold water handles and water faucet are decorated to match the wrought iron fence that extends around the tub.

This room also features a separate shower with matching tiles and a private toilet cupboard.

The primary suite is separated from the three bedrooms on this floor. It offers private balcony access, ample closet space and a full bathroom.

The primary bathroom includes a soaking tube set against a mirrored wall and flanked by two sinks. There is also a toilet cabinet and a separate shower cabin in part of the room.

To complete the apartment at this end of the house, when you leave the bathroom and move towards the corridor, there is an office room next to the stairs that can be used as a fifth bedroom.

All interior doors of the house are decorated. Some doors have 15 panels, some have 21 panels, and some have 32 panels. Even the door hardware, including the handles and hinges, makes a statement. Wall-mounted lighting sconces are used throughout the home and chandelier lighting is used in multiple areas, all adding to the formal feel of the home.

It is located at 4122 Crestview Road in Lower Paxton Township. The home is listed for $959,000 by agent Audrey Wentling of Coldwell Banker Realty.
