This beautiful family home, situated in the Manheim Central School District, offers the perfect blend of quiet countryside living with exciting urban amenities close at hand. Saunter up the path by the tidy gardens and porch lighting, step onto the porch, pass through the front door, and the word home will immediately come to mind. The hardwood floors, beautiful wooded stair rails, and swaths of morning sunlight from the front windows set the entryway aglow. To the right is a home office area with built in desk and shelving, plush carpet, and a sweeping view of the front lawn. Back through the entryway and just beyond the stairs is the living room with generous space for relaxing and chatting with guests. The broad doorway into the dining room makes these combined spaces ideal for family celebrations and holiday soirees with dear friends. Beyond the dining room is the kitchen, where the heartbeat of the home begins. The spacious island, ample seating and storage, ambient pendent lighting, and idyllic views of the backyard and countryside beyond invites you to pause, pour yourself a glass of wine, and enjoy the view. An informal dining area offers space for kids to do homework or grab breakfast before waltzing off to school. The final gem on the main floor brings you into the family room, complete with a gorgeous mantled fireplace. The natural light, the elegant woodwork, and the airiness of the space provides the perfect backdrop for Christmas Eve traditions of sipping eggnog, watching It s a Wonderful Life, and opening just one present delivered early by Santa. The laundry room, just off of the kitchen, is both convenient and efficient. With easy access to the 2-car garage, dirty work clothes and sports uniforms can go right in to the washer without the customary lingering smells wafting throughout the house. A powder room is also situated just around the corner from the kitchen. The backyard delivers a porch and spacious patio for cooking out, eating al fresco, and hosting family, friends, and neighbors for those 4th of July picnics, while the kids run around the backyard with sparklers. All of this, along with no HOA fee, keeps this home high in the ranks of desirability, charm, and comfort. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The 3 smaller bedrooms, each with heaps of space, light, and storage are perfect for kids rooms, a guest room, or even a home office. The forth bedroom the master bedroom boasts 2 walk-in closets and a tranquil ensuite bathroom; an oasis after a long, grueling day. Pour yourself a cup of Earl Grey and unwind as you watch the sun set over the surrounding farmland and whisper to yourself, There s no place like home. Situated in Manheim, this warm, welcoming town was recently mentioned in an interview with native Matt Nagy, new head coach of the Chicago Bears.

[Manheim] is just special. Come see this beautiful home in Sweet Briar Creek (yes, it s as sweet as it sounds!) and make Manheim your new home.
