Property Description

Historic Landmark Spring Garden Farm is a Victorian Gothic farmhouse originally believed to be built in 1792 as a basic German farmhouse by the Mumma family with a foot and a half thick limestone walls. A century later it was purchased by Col. John Motter (instrumental in building the Star Barn) a saddle maker and horse trader during the Civil War and later President of Farmers Bank in Harrisburg. He renovated the home adding a wrap around porch on all fours sides, the roofed porch over the carriageway in the rear of the home and the limestone wall that encloses the grounds among other improvements. In 1980 it changed hands again and the home was completely renovated from the studs to the outside walls. According to the past owners Tom and Linda Farr, they "built a new house inside the old one." The walls were removed and an inch of Celotex insulation was added. Another four inches of fiberglass insulation was added between the studs and drywall. The windows (Pella double-sash, double-pane), plumbing, electric and heating system were all updated. It is said there are two vaults in the basement once used for perishable food storage and cooled by the spring water which was pumped through them and then into the limestone fish pond at the front of the house. The first floor has a large central hallway with exterior doors at both ends used for cross ventilation, an 11 x 25 living room with fireplace which has held many Christmas and holiday family gatherings and a 12 x 15 dining room with vintage corner cupboards. Both rooms have original wood floors. The kitchen is 12 x 12 with modern appliances. There is a first floor powder room. The master bedroom is on the second floor with the main full bathroom along with another bedroom which is presently being used as an office. The 3rd floor has a very large family room and another large bedroom that can be converted into two bedrooms. This brings us to the current owners (Bruce & Connie Cleevely) who have continued the process of improvements with beautifully done bathrooms including the main bath with a clawfoot bathtub with Jacuzzi, tiled walk-in shower and pedestal sinks in keeping with the charm of the hardwood floors. Many other improvements include a large garage designed to look like a home built in the same period. The home is pre-inspected and the inspection report will be shared with serious buyers. The roof is approximately 12 years old and the air conditioning unit is 2 years. The home is meticulously kept and ready to move in.
