59 N EAST ST Carlisle, PA 17013

Are you ready to own a piece of American history? Then welcome to 59 N East Street in Downtown Carlisle. This beautiful stone home has been standing here since at least 1793, and has been a part of some of the defining moments and movements of our countrys history; the Whiskey Rebellion, the underground Railroad and the Civil War. After the Civil War there were more additions and upgrades, and it came to be in its final structural form in the 1880s. Truly this house has been through it all and stands today as a testament to early American craftsmanship.

The homes full history has been traced through the Cumberland County Historical Society by the current homeowners, and their write up is included the associated documents. The home has been a single family home, a multi-unit home, has had multiple business in it including most recently a beauty parlor, but the current homeowners have painstakingly turned it back into the original single-family dwelling since they purchased it in 2012. A complete list of all the renovations already done is included in the MLS documents as well.

The homes current owners have painstakingly added custom features and period details to bring the home back to its historical accuracy, and the main areas of the home are completed and functional with the renovations that have already been made. However a change in circumstances has necessitated a move, and the home is now looking for a new owner to complete the project and bring this home back to its historic beauty with modern amenities and charm. The hard work is done, like installing the central air, the metal roof and the all new electrical and plumbing. What is needed now is the final touches, the fit and finish. Not only that, many of the materials needed to complete the home have already been purchased, are in the house, and will transfer to the new owner at settlement.

On the main floor you will find the completely renovated kitchen with high end stainless appliances, custom cabinets, beautiful high grade granite countertops, a large double sink, hickory solid hardwood flooring, and a breakfast bar. There is also a formal Dining Room, Living Room and Powder Room on the main level.

On the second level you will find 3 bedrooms including the Primary Bedroom with a walk-in closet with fireplace and a private bath with a large, tiled walk-in shower. There are 2 additional full baths are on this floor as well, one with a claw foot tub installed and one to be installed, and a large second floor laundry room with a full workstation.

The third level has a large amount of storage areas as well as suite with a bedroom area, custom cabinetry office area and another full bathroom, which will need to be finished.

Once this house is finished, it will be a true historic gem with old world charm and links to some of the highlights of our shared history, but with all the modern amenities like central air, hardwired internet connections, and indoor plumbing that we expect our homes to have in the 21st century! All you need to do is bring your vision and imagination to make this into something that your family will be proud of for another 200 years!
