Description

A remarkably unique home situated in Harrisburg's Bellevue Park, a neighborhood over 100-years old renowned as Central Pennsylvania’s first planned community with underground utilities for unobstructed views. Nestled in a tree-shaded and park-like setting with winding roads, ponds, and ecologically protected park areas, Bellevue Park reflects the vision of two American pioneers of urban beautification and natural landscape conservation, J Horace McFarland, a principal Bellevue Park investor and Harrisburg businessman/civic leader, and Warren H. Manning of Boston, one of America’s leading landscape designers in the early twentieth century. Surrounded by towering trees and lush landscaping, the home at 112 Hillside Road offers a peaceful sanctuary with walking paths and secluded areas for sitting. The current, second owners of this home have collected numerous rare rhododendrons, azaleas, and conifers that few places can offer. With five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two half baths, this inviting home provides ample space for a growing family to thrive. Highlighting the home is a grand, private library, perfect for those seeking a quiet space to indulge in their love for books or to work from home. You will appreciate shining hardwood floors throughout the main level and crown molding that adds a touch of elegance. A bright sunroom provides a peaceful retreat where you can relax and soak up the natural light. For extra living space, the finished lower level includes a spacious family room, kitchen, and half bath. Rounding out the home is a two-car garage and ample parking on the driveway. What truly sets this property apart is its connection to history and nature. Bellevue Park is a gem of early suburban development that has only gotten better over time as the landscaping has matured. It is like living in an oasis. You will feel pride in your new home and location! Call today to see this lovely home in person.
