About 1360 Mummasburg Rd
Distinctive 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home on 6.94 beautifully maintained acres just outside historic Gettysburg, offering the rare combination of a private country setting with town conveniences only minutes away and the Gettysburg battlefield even closer. Built in 1988, the home has the warmth and character of a much older residence that has been meticulously restored, with traditional room proportions, hardwood floors, built-ins, fireplaces and architectural details that give the interior an authentic, timeless feel. Outside, the home has a more contemporary appearance and sits in a wonderfully private setting surrounded by mature landscaping, gardens and woods.
The current owners have taken an already special property and substantially enhanced both the home and grounds. Major improvements include a recently replaced roof and windows, updated HVAC and a newer water heater. The lower level offers approximately 300 square feet of finished, conditioned office or flex space in addition to substantial unfinished storage. The 2-car garage is connected to the home by a covered breezeway, is insulated and climate controlled with its own mini-split system, and is complemented by a blacktop driveway. An owned solar system adds another practical benefit.
The grounds are every bit as memorable as the home. Extensive landscaping, established gardens, a rear deck, potting shed and walking paths winding through the wooded portion of the property create a wonderful farm and homestead feel and make the acreage something to experience rather than simply look at. Tucked into the setting is an approximately 20-foot climate-controlled yurt in excellent condition, offering a truly unique space for a studio, hobbies, exercise, reading, working from home or simply getting away from it all.
This is not a typical 1980s home or a typical acreage property. It offers an uncommon combination of privacy, character, thoughtful improvements and usable outdoor spaces, with the feeling of an established country retreat that has been carefully developed and exceptionally well maintained. Best of all, that sense of seclusion comes without giving up convenience—historic Gettysburg is just minutes away, while the preserved landscape and history of Gettysburg National Military Park are practically at your doorstep.
